Karan Johar's debut directorial 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' achieved a cult status and has tremendous recall and re-watch value.  While the film has been called out for its problematic gender politics, it is still a film that is close  to the hearts of the audiences. The film starred Shah Rukh Khan (Rahul), Kajol (Anjali), and Rani Mukerji. 

Recently, Kajol revealed that she was keen on playing the role of Tina and not Anjali. In a recent Actors’ Roundtable 2023 on Netflix’s YouTube channel, Kajol disclosed that she fought with Karan to play Tina’s role in the film.
