Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is one of the most celebrated films by Karan Johar. It was a huge hit not only in India but also overseas. Over the years, the songs, dialogues and even costumes of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham have achieved cult status. Characters like Poo have been cited by young actresses like Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Panday as their introduction to the magic of cinema. Now, as the film marks 21 years since its release, Karan Johar has shared a special montage video of some behind-the-scenes images from the shoot of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. The photos feature glimpses of the cast, including Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor, Rani Mukherji and Farida Jalal. Also seen in the photos are Nikkhil Advani and Farah Khan.
In the caption, Karan Johar wrote: “No amount of words can encapsulate the feelings for this film. K3G was an absolute honour solely because I had such a distinguished cast to direct on screen…and that soon became a family off screen too. 21 years later, I'm still soaking in all the love it continues to give me & Dharma - whether it's the music, the dialogues, the fashion or the emotions that rest with every family…THANK YOU! For making Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham what it was then and what it is today. After all, it's all about loving your family.”
Last year, as the film marked 20 years, Karan Johar had shared a similar video speaking about what Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham means to him. In the caption, he wrote: “Overwhelmed with the endless love that has poured in from all corners of the world and the industry for celebrating this grand milestone that Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham hits today. Thank you falls short. A little piece of my heart for you on this day. And so it goes...it's all about loving your...family! From us to you, happy #20YearsOfK3G!”
Ali Bhatt and Ranveer Singh had also paid a tribute to Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham last year with a fun video. Alia Bhatt recreated a popular scene from the 2001 film, originally featuring Kareena Kapoor as Poo. Ranveer Singh and Ibrahim Ali Khan appeared in cameos in the video that soon went viral.
