Karan Johar Disses Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Says He’d Give Shah Rukh Khan’s Character Some Spine & Emotional Quotient

Karan Johar’s Kuch Kuch Hota Hai starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji, is considered as one of the amazing love stories. However, from the past few years, people have started pointing out flaws in the films, especially SRK’s Rahul character for not being good enough for Anjali (played by Kajol).

Earlier, even SRK talked about how he isn’t fond of the character. Now, director Karan Johar himself thinks Rahul had no spine and less emotional quotient. He also shared how he first planned to show several scenes between Rahul and Anjali.

KJo told Mid Day, “Rahul doesn’t stand for very much. He’s a deeply confused character, doesn’t know what he wants and, really, didn’t do a lot much in the movie. Whatever happened to him was because there were people pushing him – his dead wife’s spirit, his eight-year-old daughter, and Anjali herself. What made him endearing was his charm, his large heart and Shah Rukh’s personal charisma.”

Karan added, “There was no logic or backstory to the characters. You don’t know what Shah Rukh, or anyone else, does for a living in the movie. And the eight letters – one for each birthday – made no sense, either.”
