Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham: The Time When No One Wanted To Enter The Set First During Bole Chudiyan

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.. was released in 2001 and is still considered one of the most iconic films in the Bollywood industry. Almost everything was perfect in this Karan Johar-directed film, from iconic dialogue to the stellar cast. The film’s cast included Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor, and Jaya Bachchan, who all delivered great performances. It was a story that beautifully connected love, relationships, and familial bonds.

Its songs were also a significant reason behind its success. One such song was Bole Chudiyan, sung by Kavita Krishnamurti, Alka Yagnik, Sonu Nigam, Udit Narayan, and Amit Kumar. Filming Bole Chudiyan, despite its on-screen ease, had its off-screen challenges, as recently revealed by then-assistant director Nikhil Advani.

All actors waited for someone else to step out from vanity for Bole Chudiyan.

In a recent interview with Filmfare, Nikhil Advani recalled the chaos during the shoot of Bole Chudiyan. With six Bollywood megastars needed on set simultaneously, managing their schedules became a hectic task. On the day of the shoot, all six actors were stationed in their vanity vans, and despite the set being prepared and the cameras ready to roll, not one of them stepped out. The reason? Each star preferred to let the others make the first move.
