Mumbai (Commonwealth Union)_ Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the iconic 90s film “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,” actress Kajol chose to pay tribute to her beloved character, Anjali Sharma, in a unique and heartwarming manner. Despite missing the screening of the film in Mumbai, Kajol, who immortalized the role of Anjali in the movie, decided to “step back into Anjali’s shoes.” In a recent reel she shared, she transformed into her character from a quarter of a century ago, donning a black tracksuit and a short haircut reminiscent of Anjali from “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.”
In her caption, Kajol expressed her gratitude to director Karan Johar for granting her the opportunity to be part of the Dharma-verse, stating, “Stepping back into Anjali’s shoes after 25 years (couldn’t find the basketball though). So many memories and love attached to this film… So glad that everyone loves it as much as I do. A first for Karan Johar and a beginning to an amazing journey for Dharma Movies… Fabulous music that still resonates, even today… #kkhh is and always will be a labor of love.”
Unsurprisingly, Kajol’s post was met with an outpouring of affection from her fans. One admirer declared, “Anjali Sharma, you will forever be my always,” while another professed, “Anjali is always Anjali, no one could’ve made me fall in love with that movie if it wasn’t you.” Further, it’s worth noting that “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” also featured prominent actors like Salman Khan, Archana Puran Singh, Anupam Kher, and Johny Lever alongside the main cast of Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Rani Mukerji.
During the special night, Kajol’s co-stars from “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,” Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji, who portrayed Rahul and Tina, respectively, surprised fans at a Mumbai theater, joined by their director, Karan Johar. Dharma Production’s Instagram page shared a picture of the trio from the event, and the caption conveyed the immense significance of this reunion, reading, “Bohot kuch hota hai seeing them all in one frame! (A lot happens after seeing them all together in one frame). Missing our Anjali the most today! The celebration of pyaar (love) & dosti (friendship) just got bigger & grander for #25YearsOfKuchKuchHotaHai.”
