Kajol, who famously starred in Karan Johar's 1998 film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, in a recent Humans Of Bombay podcast, said that her version of Anjali (the character she played in the film) would have been different from the one showcased in film. "My version of Anjali would never be wearing a saree. She would be wearing those track pants and fab, expensive sneakers with it and make that look good," Kajol said. When asked if she would have picked SRK's character Rahul or Salman Khan's character Aman in the film if it were to her. Kajol said, "On script level, maybe I would have gone with Salman's character, but in the film, if you watch the film, there is no choice about the ending, it has to be the way it is."
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai featured Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji in the lead roles and Salman Khan starred as Kajol's fiance Aman, who decides to let go the love of his life, in order to reunite Rahul and Anjali (SRK and Kajol).
