This was because the musical romantic drama, which explored themes of marital infidelity, emotional dissatisfaction and dysfunctional relationships was way ahead of its time. It followed the story of Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji\u2019s characters, who begin an extramarital affair after years of unhappy marriages with their respective onscreen spouses, played by Preity Zinta and Abhishek Bachchan. Well, in a new interview, KJo has revealed how the emotional turmoil we witnessed onscreen affected the actors behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ok_1769078607511_1769078619975.jpg\" alt=\"Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta in KANK\" title=\"Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta in KANK\" width=\"360\" height=\"202\" loading=\"eager\"\/>Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta in KANK<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">During a recent event with Rani Mukerji, Karan Johar shared how difficult it was for Preity Zinta to understand why Shah Rukh Khan\u2019s character cheated in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. KJo remembered, \u201cShe was getting very personal\u2026 I had taken her aside, and we went for a walk. I said, \u2018It\u2019s not Preity Zinta. This is Rhea. It\u2019s happening to her\u2019.\u201d Well, Preity was not the only one. Talking about Rani\u2019s onscreen husband Abhishek Bachchan, Karan shared, \u201cI remember, at one point, Abhishek broke down\u2026 remember there was an emotional scene? I remember he broke down. There were moments when I could just see you (Rani) looking sullen and sad. I realised that everyone was going through beats in their heads because the film talks about ground realities and emotional realities\u2026 things that people go through but don\u2019t like to address\u2026 It was a very tumultuous experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">Also starring Amitabh Bachchan and Kirron Kher, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna was Karan Johar\u2019s third directorial venture after Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001). It marked KJo\u2019s third film with Rani and Shah Rukh. This year, three years after his last directorial Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023), Karan is set to return to the director\u2019s chair for his next film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Karan Johar\u2019s 2006 film Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna received mixed reviews from the audience on release, but it&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":297967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[268],"tags":[147638,434,18,117,19,17,28356,6965,38651,28347,147639],"class_list":{"0":"post-297966","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-abhishek-bachchan-emotional-breakdown","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-kabhi-alvida-naa-kehna","15":"tag-karan-johar","16":"tag-preity-zinta","17":"tag-rani-mukerji","18":"tag-shah-rukh-khan-kabhi-alvida-naa-kehna"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/297967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=297966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=297966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
