Trivia about Sajan Ji Ghar Aaye

In the promo, Farah is seen talking to a dancer who played Salman's duplicate in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. She says, “Ritji bahut cute tha yar. Main bata du Sajan ji Ghar Aaye mein, Salman ka aadha gana Salman ka dupe banke Ritji ne kia h. Really, kyunki Salman aata hi tha 2-3 ghante ke liye. To baki back shot, top shot, wide shot, sab Ritji karta tha (Ritji was very cute. Let me tell you that in the song Sajan Ji Ghar Aaye, Ritji did half of the song as Salman's duplicate. He used to come only for 2-3 hours. So all the back shots, top shots, wide shots were done by Ritji).”

When Karan couldn't find anyone for role of Aman

In 2021, director Karan Johar had revealed why Salman had agreed to play Aman in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Sharing the story behind it during his appearance on Indian Idol 12, Karan had said that he had approached quite a few actors but none was ready to play a second lead in a Shah Rukh Khan film. He said that when he met Salman Khan at a party and told him about not finding a suitable actor for the role of Aman, Salman had replied, “Iss film ko karne ki liye paagal hona chahiye aur main wo pagal hoon (You have to be crazy to do this film and I am that person).”

Why Salman agreed to do the film

Later, when Karan had narrated the script to Salman, he was on board just after hearing the first half. But when Karan clarified that he is yet to recite the role of Aman, Salman said, “Kya fark padta hai. Main aapke father ko janta hu, ye film main unke liye kar raha hu (It doesn't matter. I know your father and that's why I am doing this film).”
