29 Dec – Karan Johar is further confirming reports that there will be a new project between him and Salman Khan in his recent post to wish the actor a happy birthday. On 27 December, which is also Salman's 58th birthday, the filmmaker shared a photo of the actor from his hit movie, "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai", where Salman guest starred as Anjali's fiancé, Aman.
He wrote, "25 years ago I was at a party lost and confused. A massive movie star came up to me and asked me why I was standing by a corner. I told him I had been to several actors for a part but was politely rejected. The superstar's sister is close to me so he graciously said she had spoken highly of my script and that I should meet him the next day to narrate the film to him."
"In my wildest dreams I never imagined I would even get the opportunity of a narration. I went with a prayer in my heart and a deep desire for a miracle and narrated the first of the film like my life depended on it. He looked at me at the interval point (by then I was looking like I was at the Sahara Desert and water could keep me alive) kindly offered me water and said 'I'm on!!!' I was perplexed and said 'But you are in the second half. You haven't heard it?' He said 'I love your father and my sister will kill me if I don't do this movie' and that's how Salman Khan was in KKHH." Karan stated that such a gesture doesn't happen today, and that he is happy that after 25 years, they will have another story to tell together. "Not saying any more than that. Happy happy birthday," he added.
