As Karan Johar made an appearance on Indian Idol 12, he narrated a story about how Salman Khan came to play the second lead in his debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. The director recalled that when he was casting for the film, no actor was ready to play the part of the second male lead. “With Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol as the lead actors, no one said yes to the role of the second lead. Salman said the role is immaterial as he knows my father and is doing the film for him,” Karan narrated. Karan said he went to Salman after the film to thank the actor.
