When Shah Rukh Khan corrected Karan Johar on 'Goal' Gaffe in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai: "It's a basket"
' Kuch Kuch Hota Hai ' is surely one of the best romantic films in Bollywood and on this Friday we feel that it's worth revisting an interesting off-screen moment from this gem.
A Nostalgic Throwback From the Sets of a 90s Classic
In a delightful walk down memory lane, filmmaker Karan Johar , last year, took to Instagram to share a humorous behind-the-scenes anecdote from the sets of his 1998 directorial debut 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'. The iconic film, starring Shah Rukh Khan , Kajol, and Rani Mukerji, holds a special place in the hearts of Bollywood fans and is often revisited for its unforgettable music, dialogues, and youthful charm.
SRK's Gentle Correction That Still Brings a Smile
Recalling a funny moment during a basketball scene, Karan revealed how he mistakenly referred to a shot as a “goal,” only to be gently corrected by Shah Rukh Khan. “He whispered, ‘It’s a basket,’” Karan wrote, admitting he was confused and started looking around for a literal basket before realizing the sporting terminology blunder.
The Fashion, The Feels, and a Little Lycra
Karan’s post also included a clip of SRK discussing the tight and flashy costumes he wore while playing Rahul Khanna, the charming college heartthrob. “Those Lycra tight tees,” Shah Rukh admitted, “were a bit much.” Karan humorously added, *“So much of what @iamsrk wore in KKHH is still so fashion relevant even today! The belt bag, the oversized hoodies, the graffiti jeans… okay, maybe not the Lycra tees—those are a massive no-no now!”
A Film That Still Resonates
Karan’s post, complete with hashtags like #memories and #the90s, reminded fans why the film—and its moments, on and off screen—remain timeless.
More than two decades after its release, 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' continues to be a cultural touchstone. The film, which also featured Salman Khan and Sana Saeed, told a moving love story set across two time periods, brought alive by a mix of romance, friendship, and heartwarming reunions.
