Karan Johar's directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, completes 21 years today. It came out at a time when the nation was unaware of the fact that love is friendship. In 1989, Sooraj Barjatya taught us via a scheming and lewd Mohnish Bahl in his debut, Maine Pyar Kiya, that a girl and a boy can never be friends. And every time we peeped at a boy and girl together, we gazed them with suspicion, assuming them to be lovers.
Almost a decade later, another novice splashed on the celluloid to make a film about love and friendship and turn the thought on our own heads. Shah Rukh Khan was Rahul, Kajol was Anjali, Rani Mukerji was Tina and Salman Khan was Aman. This was a love triangle where Rahul loved Tina, Tina loved Rahul, Anjali loved Rahul and Aman loved Anjali. It may sound complicated but Johar simplified the narrative, adding his touches of froth and finesse. Since it was his debut, the audiences and critics were unaware of his understanding and definition of human relationships.
