00:00I have gone on walks with Kajol ma'am.

00:02You don't go.

00:03I had most of my stuff with Shah Rukh Khan and Farida Jalal.

00:08Papa, wear your pants.

00:11Well, Amar is definitely a green flag.

00:13We stand here 25 years later celebrating the beautiful film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

00:26Rahul! Rahul! Rahul! Rahul! Rahul!

00:30Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

00:32You don't understand.

01:00But, and his mother, Heeru aunty, who told me that

01:05he will at least set up the camera properly somewhere.

01:08It so happened that Adi was the one who asked, told me

01:11that I must sign Rani Mukerji for the role of Tina.

01:13Then Shah Rukh told me the same thing the next day.

01:15And I was like, this is a sign I went to Rani

01:17because prior to her, many people had actually thrown me out.

01:20I was 17 when I did this movie.

01:23But today, I am, my daughter is turning 8 next December.

01:29So everybody was always very patient when it came to the children on set

01:36because they know it's not easy for kids to,

01:38because we don't know what we're doing.

01:40We just know we're having fun.

01:41Back then, it was just a six-year-old having a gala party time.

01:44I had most of my stuff with Shah Rukh Khan and Farida Jalal.

01:50I have gone on walks with Kajol ma'am and, you know, just had a lot of fun.

01:54And I had a ball working with Farida Jalal also.

01:57But I remember, like, she was like a grandmom on my set.

02:00Like, she was loving and she was everything.

02:03She was motherly and she was my companion in most scenes.

02:06But most people consider me lucky because I got to

02:11be in the arms of the greatest superstar Shah Rukh Khan

02:14and laugh with him, play with him, joke with him on camera.

02:17And I still remember that, I think we shot that song on Holi,

02:20Saajan Ji Ghar Aaye, because that was a day off.

02:23And we all rushed to see Salman bhai shoot because he was so excited.

02:27Well, Amar is definitely a green flag, no two ways about it.

02:30Amar as a character is definitely a green flag.

02:33He's a good guy. He's a sweet guy.

02:35And he honestly doesn't deserve what Anjali did to him at all.

02:39It's been a long journey.

02:40There are very few of us who are fortunate enough to have worked with Shah Rukh Khan.

02:44Very few of us who are fortunate enough to have worked with a team like that.

02:48I also want to say a big thanks to all the other actors and technicians

02:52who were part of this film then, who are not here.

02:54First of all, Reema Ji, who's not amidst us anymore.

02:58And Farida Jalal Ji and Anupam Kher, Alshana Puran Singh,

03:02the little kids who were part of this film.

03:05Salman Khan, bhai, bhai, bhai.

03:08Kajol, of course. And then, of course, Salman Khan.
