Directed by Karan Johar in his debut, ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ remains one of Bollywood’s most celebrated films, featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Rani Mukerji in leading roles. This 1998 romantic drama became a massive hit both in India and internationally. With music composed by Jatin-Lalit and vocals by Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik, the title track continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.
The film’s timeless appeal was evident as the Indonesian delegation chose the song to highlight their admiration for Indian culture, strengthening the cultural ties between India and Indonesia.
Kajol was last seen in ‘Do Patti,’ where she portrayed a determined police officer unraveling a gripping mystery. The film also featured Kriti Sanon in dual roles, marking Kajol and Kriti’s second collaboration after ‘Dilwale.’ The film was directed by Shashanka Chaturvedi and written by Kanika Dhillon. ‘Do Patti’ delves into love, deception, and the pursuit of truth.
Kajol’s fans can look forward to her next big-screen appearance in ‘Maharagni – Queen of Queens.’ Directed by Charan Tej Uppalapati, the action-thriller boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Naseeruddin Shah, Prabhu Deva, and Aditya Seal.
