Shah Rukh Khan continued, “Many think Karan is my friend. But it was his father Yash Johar was my friend. To me, this film was important because Karan at that time was 23-24 years old and I have a son now Aryan, who is that old. Now when I look back upon it, I feel very happy, very proud as I launched a young son because I was a little more established than Karan was at that time.”
Besides Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar also addressed the audience on the special day and thanking the film’s lead cast for taking out time for the screening said, “This film is very special to me, it was my first film. It’s what began my journey.”
Recalling a peiece of advice given by his dad Yash Johar, Karan said, “My father I remember telling me that yeh agar average bhi jayega na toh samajh le tera career hain ( My father I remember telling me that if the film fares even average, it will mean your career will take off). But I am glad it did well and I had a film.”
