K3G, as it’s known popularly, had perhaps the biggest ensemble in Hindi cinema of recent times with Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor.
Celebrating 22 Glorious Years of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Two decades ago, the magic of family drama hit the silver screen with Karan Johar’s blockbuster, ‘K3G.’ Imagine having so many Bollywood icons, all in one epic film! The film had all the right ingredients for a hit- emotions, drama, romance, song, and above all, the tagline that says, ‘It’s all about family.’
As the film marks 22 years since its release today, Kajol took to social media to share her memories from the making of the film. She played the role of Anjali from Chandni Chowk, who falls for Rahul from Delhi’s prestigious, wealthy family. When their love is not accepted by Rahul’s family, they walk away from the family and start their own little world in London. Years later, Rahul’s little brother, played by Hrithik Roshan, sets out to unite their family.
Recalling the gigantic films and their impact on the team, Kajol took to Instagram and wrote, “22 years to #k3g ..Another acronym but yes another long lasting memory !!! Yash uncle actually renovated and made new makeup rooms in Filmistan studios permanently just for the shooting of this film because even with the vanity vans it was not going to be enough for this gigantic starrer! @karanjohar collapsed and fainted on set because of dehydration in the first few days .. it was really really hot!”
🥵 And this was @___aryan___ ‘s debut on screen.. ! It was also I think my first comeback ( not sure about this part tho ) too many comebacks ago ) And the first and only time I stood in front of the pyramids and truly felt them with my soul.. so yes this was a truly HUGE film in every which way, in life and cinema!” Kajol’s note read.
Released in 2001, ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, and Kareena Kapoor wasn’t just a movie; it was a cinematic phenomenon! With love, drama, and unforgettable tunes, it struck a chord with audiences worldwide. Fast forward to today, and the film’s impact is still felt, thanks to its timeless music, stellar cast, and a legion of online fans.
And here’s a juicy tidbit, a few years back, Karan Johar toyed with the idea of a spin-off series featuring Kareena’s iconic character, Poo. Sadly, it never materialized, leaving fans yearning for more of Poo’s sass and style.
