He manages to infuse pathos and wry humour in what is essentially the male version of the ‘manic pixie dream girl trope’. He delivers a tour de force performance as Aman, a guy whose carefully buoyant attitude covers several untold tragedies. Naina is infatuated with the cheerful and likeable Aman, but he turns down her romantic overtures and acts seemingly disinterested.Īlthough his character will give you flashbacks of Rajesh Khanna’s Anand Sehgal, Khan refuses to let you ponder too much on the similarities. He eventually becomes matchmaker between Naina (Preity Zinta) and Rohit (Saif Ali Khan). Khan plays Aman, a happy-go-lucky guy who nurses a big secret. Although this Nikkhil Advani-directorial had shades of the 1971 Hrishikesh Mukherjee film ‘Anand’, the movie managed to be a standalone entity thanks to a water-tight screenplay and picture-perfect performances from the cast. ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’ was released in 2003 and starred Preity Zinta opposite Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role. The film was KARAN ARJUN… the set was in Film City… My father and I arrived ( me playing the part of a plus-size hanger-on) for a professional meeting ( the signing on the dotted line for the film DUPLICATE) I had many apprehensions about movie stars … many of them based on fact and some of course Stardust! So I wondered about this new breakthrough star who was apparently a lot like his first big hit (DEEWANA for the uninformed ) … he was in costume and met my father warmly and gave him a massive jhappi! He shook my hand and with his immensely kind eyes asked me many questions about my non-existent career and my unproductive life (at that time) My answers were as bland as khichdi for an upset stomach but he listened with so much attention that I felt at that time that I had cracked the Da Vinci code… "That was 29 years ago… Today I call him Bhai and he still listens to me with wrapped attention (even when I am discussing my trials and tribulations of hosting a talk show) his kind eyes are even kinder … and he is …PERSONALITY! That word just means SRK! “ Johar wrote. A post shared by Farah Khan Kunder Johar, who had been a close friend and confidante to Khan and his wife Gauri, penned an emotional post on Instagram, recalling the first time he met the ‘Baazigar’ star.
