Filmfare Throwback: Rani Mukerji and Karan Johar's Iconic Wins for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

A Night of Awards for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

The throwback revisits a big night for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, which collected several awards.

Rani Mukerji accepted Best Supporting Actress, thanking Karan Johar and Yash Johar for making the film—and her award—possible. Sharmishta Roy won for Production Design, while Salman Khan took Best Supporting Actor. He joked that he had played a pretty good role, though he could have done even better.

Karan Johar’s Best Screenplay Speech

Karan Johar’s speech was the emotional centerpiece of the evening. He recalled dreaming of standing before the filmmakers he admired and rehearsing award speeches in front of his bedroom and bathroom mirrors.

He thanked the cast and crew, especially Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri, whom he said had become family. He also credited Aditya Chopra and his parents for helping him reach the stage.

Yash Johar later accepted Best Film, quipping that Karan had already delivered the speech he had prepared.

Acting Awards

Kajol won Best Actress and thanked her family, fans, and the film industry. Shah Rukh Khan won Best Actor and paid tribute to Yash Johar and the young Karan, while praising Kajol and Rani.

He closed with a cheeky joke, saying he was accepting the award on behalf of the film’s “sex symbols”—himself and Salman—and that Salman was the only man whose body could match his “seductive lips.”
