About Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa

Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (1994) is a coming-of-age romantic comedy film directed by Kundan Shah. The film starred Suchitra Krishnamoorthi, Shah Rukh Khan and Deepak Tijori in the lead role.

What Suchitra said about Shah Rukh

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Suchitra said, "I used to mainly talk to Gauri, I don't think I spoke much to Shah Rukh. I always say this that I think jab Shah Rukh Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa karrahe the, woh mujhe nahi dekh rahe the woh Gauri ko dekh rahe the (when Shah Rukh was doing Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa he was not looking at me but at Gauri)." What Suchitra meant was though Shah Rukh would look at her, he would think he was talking with Gauri.

She also added, "Isliye woh expressions sab itna masoom, itna real (that's why those expressions were so innocent, so real). It was all so real. So I think he would look at me and think that he is looking at Gauri. Becasue unki nayi nayi shaadi huyi thi (they were newly married then) and yeah so that's what brought out that innocence and earnestness."
