Karan Johar Celebrates 26 Years Of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai: "To My First Film As A Director". The Nostalgia That Never Fades!

Karan Johar is the king of nostalgia, and with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai turning 26, he just took us all on a major trip down memory lane! This film, which gave us that iconic friendship-turned-romance magic, featuring none other than Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Rani Mukerji, still has a firm grip on Bollywood’s heart. Personally, I’ve always been a massive fan—this movie made me dream of living that perfect KJo college life.

Karan posted a touching tribute to his directorial debut, sharing behind-the-scenes moments from the set, and honestly, it’s hitting all the right notes. Karan wrote a caption that stole fans' hearts, “Of cool neck chains, neon shirts, pink headbands, summer camps with only dancing, wishing on shooting stars, cheating at basketball, dosti that turns into pyaar and characters that live through time and beyond.” A trip down the nostalgia lane! After 26 years, we're still vibing to the essence of this film!

To that he added, “To my first film as a director. To the best cast and crew on set. To take that feeling of day one and keep it alive... 26 years later!” That’s pure magic right there, and we’re still feeling it.

Fans flooded the post with their own memories, some saying, “This film was a phenomenon,” while others wished for an Anjali-Aman ending instead of the classic SRK-Kajol love story. With so many old movies making a comeback in theatres, a Kuch Kuch Hota Hai re-release would be the ultimate nostalgia trip!

Karan’s latest film was Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani, which was a hit, but let’s be real—nothing will ever quite top the magic of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Even after 26 years, the love for this film is still as strong as ever!
