The
multi-talented
celebrity
of
B-town,
Karan
Johar,
who

Kuch
Hota
Hai
reveals

to
beg
Salman

Rani

to

Hota
Hai.
"I
had
lot
of
trouble
while
casting
for
Rani
Mukerji's
part
in
'Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai'.
I
had
approached
eight
heroines
and
no
one
agreed
for
the
role.
I
had
given
a
romantic
narration
but
no
one
responded.
I
became
like
a
beggar," Karan
told
reporters
at
an
event.

"Even
for
Salman
Khan's
part
(in
the
movie),
I
had
to
roam
here
and
there.
Finally
it
all
happened.
I
had
to
literally
beg
Salman
and
Rani
to
be
on
board,"
he
said.
The
"My
Name
Is
Khan"
helmer
joked
that
he
had
even
thought
of
wearing
(a)
short
skirt
and
doing
Rani's
role
(in
the
film)
if
no
one
does
it.
It
was
Karan's
good
friend
Aditya
Chopra
and
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
who
suggested
him
to
cast
Rani.
"I
went
to
Rani
who
was
then
going
to
do
'Ghulam'.
It
was
suggested
to
me
by
Shah
Rukh
Khan
and
Aditya
Chopra.
They
both
recommended
Rani's
name
after
looking
at
a
particular
expression
of
her
in
'Raja
Ki
Aayegi
Baraat'."
"We
wanted
a
known
face
for
Rani's
part
as
she
dies
in
the
beginning
(in
the
movie),
but
that
did
not
work
out,"
he
added.
