Shahrukh
Khan
as
Dev
Saran
Overtly
sensitive,
sharp
of
tongue
and
cynical
Dev
Saran
has
a
rather
uneasy
relationship
with
the
world
owing
to
an
unfortunate
mishap
that
turns
his
dreams
upside
down.
He
is
unable
to
come
to
terms
with
the
unfairness
of
life
or
his
handicap
and
his
bitterness
only
cripples
his
mind
further.
He
resents
his
wife,
Rhea's
growing
success
and
in
the
process
ends
up
hating
himself
for
feeling
that
way.
To
make
matters
worse
he
ends
up
turning
all
his
anger
towards
his
loved
ones.
Under
these
circumstances,
Maya
enters
his
life
with
her
own
wounds
and
together
they
take
on
a
journey
to
heal
each
other...
Preity
Zinta
as
Rhea
Saran
Confident,
savvy
and
with
a
strong
sense
of
right
and
wrong...
Rhea
Saran
leads
a
straight
forward
life
where
her
promises
and
expectations
are
clearly
chalked
out.
Her
independence
is
of
prime
importance
to
her
and
she
believes
in
the
importance
of
material
luxuries.
There
are
moments
when
she
realizes
that
she
is
not
playing
the
traditional
role
of
a
wife
or
a
mother
owing
to
her
busy
career
but
she
refuses
to
feel
guilty
about
it
and
strongly
believes
in
her
right
to
pursue
success
as
much
as
a
man.
Her
belief
in
her
marriage
is
strong
even
during
its
turbulent
phase
and
she
tries
every
means
in
her
power
to
save
it
until
she
realizes
the
enormity
of
the
situation
and
is
forced
to
take
a
stand...
Abhishek
Bachchan
as
Rishi
Talwar
Sophisticated,
stylish
with
a
gift
of
the
gab,
Rishi
Talwar,
upcoming
public
relations
professional,
has
inherited
his
father's
fun-loving
nature
and
his
sense
of
humor.
While
his
childlike
demeanor
is
endearing,
his
volatile
reaction
to
situations
often
cause
his
wife,
Maya
to
believe
that
he
is
childish.
He
is
patient
and
loving
to
Maya
but
is
unable
to
comprehend
her
complexity
especially
when
it
rears
its
ugly
head
in
the
most
intimate
moments
of
their
personal
relationship.
His
entire
being
is
devoted
to
Maya
and
that's
perhaps
why
he
falls
apart
when
exposed
to
the
harsh
truth
of
his
marriage...
Rani
Mukherjee
as
Maya
Talwar
Beautiful,
sensitive
and
a
compulsive
cleanliness
freak...
Maya
Talwar
compensates
for
her
inability
to
have
children
by
teaching
in
a
nursery.
Her
relationship
with
her
husband
Rishi
is
layered
with
a
lot
of
self-doubt
and
question.
However,
while
she
is
ready
to
discuss
and
analyze
everything
small
or
big,
she
fights
this
area
of
her
life
with
remarkable
silence.
She
is
unable
to
whip
up
enough
passion
for
Rishi
and
is
disappointed
that
her
love
for
him
does
not
match
her
own
expectations
of
what
it
ought
to
be.
This
dilemma
pulls
her
further
apart
from
him
thereby
causing
a
strain
on
their
marital
life.
To
add
to
this
complication,
she
encounters
Dev
in
whom
she
finds
all
the
ingredients
to
fire
the
passion
she
lacks
in
her
marriage...
Amitabh
Bachchan
as
Samarjit
Singh
Talwar
Samarjit
Singh
Talwar
a.k.a.
Sam
is
a
flamboyant
and
fun-loving
man
who
believes
in
living
his
life
to
the
fullest.
His
life
revolves
around
the
happiness
of
his
son,
Rishi
and
daughter-in-law,
Maya.
And
despite
indulging
in
all
sensual
pleasures,
Sam
does
not
lose
focus
on
the
ground
realities
of
life
and
beneath
his
colorful
exterior
there
lies
a
wise
and
sensitive
parent
who
dispenses,
at
times,
brutal
but
practical
solutions
to
his
family.
Kirron
Kher
as
Kamaljit
Saran
A
self-reliant
woman
with
a
combination
of
strong
traditional
values
and
a
progressive
mindset,
Kamaljit
Saran
is
an
example
of
a
parent
who
has
molded
herself
to
the
changing
world
without
losing
her
roots.
While
she
is
a
silent
spectator
to
her
son,
Dev
and
daughter-in-law
Rhea's
changing
equations,
she
does
not
hesitate
to
voice
her
opinion
as
an
elder
when
required.
She
is
fearless
in
her
decisions
and
takes
a
rather
progressive
stand
for
her
daughter-in-law
when
the
situation
worsens...
The
thought
behind
Kabhi
Alvida
Naa
Kehna
A
film
about
relationships
A
film
about
love
A
love
that
broke
all
relationships
There
are
three
kind
of
married
people
in
the
world.
First,
whose
marriages
are
arranged.
I've
never
quite
understood
that,
but
I'm
sure
they
know
what
they're
doing.
Then
there
are
those
who
fall
in
love
and
marry
their
soul
mates.
These
few,
I
believe,
are
the
most
fortunate
people
in
the
world.
And
lastly,
there
are
those
couples
that
marry
for
their
parents,
for
money
or
play
it
safe
and
marry
a
friend.
These
are
the
most
unfortunate
ones
in
the
world...and
they
don't
even
know
it.
Until
one
day,
riding
the
fast
train
of
life
they
run
into
their
soulmate,
and
are
faced
with
the
hardest
question
of
all.
What
do
you
do
when
you
meet
the
love
of
your
life
and
you're
married
to
someone
else?
What
do
you
do?
What
do
you
do?
Karan
Johar
Director's
Note
"KANK
doesn't
have
solutions
to
failed
marriages,
but
it
does
raise
a
few
right
questions"
Human
relationships
have
always
perplexed
me.
These
seemingly
simple
bonds
between
people
can
amount
to
so
much
and
cause
such
upheaval
that
lives
change
drastically
with
a
minute
change
in
these
equations.
Especially
in
a
fast
changing
world
of
today,
such
changes
seem
magnified
hundred
fold
forcing
us
to
question
our
age
old
definitions
of
relationships
and
commitment.
The
seed
for
Kabhi
Alvida
Naa
Kehna
(KANK)
was
born
somewhere
from
these
thoughts.
The
alarming
statistics
of
failing
marriages
in
the
recent
times,
often
made
me
wonder
about
the
relevance
of
the
institutions
to
our
society
today.
With
men
and
women
handling
far
more
responsibilities
than
what
was
conventionally
assigned
to
them
centuries
ago,
it
is
natural
for
them
to
expect
more
from
life
for
themselves.
So
in
this
complex
scenario
how
much
does
one
compromise
on
self-gratification
for
the
sake
of
commitment?
Or
should
one
compromise
at
all?
Not
that
I
have
found
solutions
while
making
the
film
but
even
if
I
don't
have
the
right
answer,
I'm
glad
that
I
could
raise
a
few
right
questions
through
KANK
and
I
sincerely
hope
that
the
movie,
apart
from
fulfilling
its
apparent
role
of
entertainment
also
inspires
people
to
look
into
their
relationships
to
resolve
their
issues..!
