For Karan Johar, his debut directorial "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" -- which came out on this day 20 years ago -- will always remain special.
"I can't'believe it has been 20 years of 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'! A film that gave me love, acceptance and a career... Will always be eternally grateful to Kajol, Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji and Salman Khan for indulging a 25-year-old boy with stars in his eyes! Thank you for all the love," Karan posted on Twitter on Tuesday.
Dharma Productions is celebrating two decades since the film's release with a gala here.

Karan also recalled how Shah Rukh Khan gave him the confidence to be a director.
He revealed it was Shah Rukh who suggested him to start the shoot of the film with a song, as he can settle down by then. “Farah did the songs and Shah Rukh said, I should supervise it. Then I got confidence. Now I always tell first-time directors to start with a song because the atmosphere is fun and light so you can settle with your characters and then start your film,” he said in an interview.
“What I realised is that when you have fun off screen it translates on screen. Your off-screen equation is conveyed on screen. There is some relatability, touchability, that comes on screen. You don’t know what is it that attracts people,” Kajol recalled her experience of working on Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
