Kabhi
Khushi
Kabhie
Gham
is
one
of
the
most
loved
family
dramas
of
the
Hindi
Film
Industry.
One
just
can't
talk
about
best
family
dramas
of
Bollywood
without
mentioning
Karan
Johar's
directorial
which
had
an
ensemble
cast-
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Jaya
Bachchan,
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Kajol,
Hrithik
Roshan
and
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan.
The
film
was
released
in
2001
and
it
left
the
entire
nation
gushing
over
its
star
cast,
songs,
cinematography,
dialogues,
costumes
and
what
not!
On
that
note,
we
bring
to
you
an
old
interview
of
Karan
Johar
wherein
he
had
spoken
about
having
everyone
on
board
for
the
film
and
said
that
he
was
apprehensive
about
persuading
Jaya
Bachchan
and
Kajol
to
do
the
film.
While
speaking
to
Subhash
K
Jha,
Karan
had
said,
"When
it
finished,
I
couldn't
believe
I
had
pulled
it
off.
I
didn't
really
have
to
work
too
hard
on
the
actors.
Everyone
had
a
fully
bound
script,
so
every
actor
was
familiar
with
the
atmosphere,
attitude
and
tone
of
every
scene."
Speaking
about
Shah
Rukh,
Karan
said
that
he
wanted
him
to
be
constantly
one
step
behind
his
screen
father
(Big
B)
all
the
time.
He
further
said
that
only
in
one
sequence,
he
wanted
Shah
Rukh
to
look
at
Amitabh
Bachchan
in
the
eye,
but
he
wanted
his
body
language
to
be
more
relaxed
with
Kajol
and
Jaya
Bachchan.
He
went
on
to
add,
"Jayaji
had
to
be
quiet
and
submissive,
strong
from
inside
but
prompted
into
speaking
her
mind
only
at
the
end.
Kajol
and
Jayaji
were
the
ones
I
was
most
apprehensive
about
getting
them
to
agree.
When
they
agreed
to
do
the
film,
I
was
over
the
moon."
