Karan Johar Reveals Why Shah Rukh Khan Asked Him To Never Play Basketball: "Bhai Took Over And Told Me..."

Karan Johar posted throwback gold

Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar go back a long way. It is no news that they are the best of friends. On Saturday, we were in for a treat when the filmmaker shared a rare picture of himself and Shah Rukh from the sets of his directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. The film was released on October 16, 1998. Alongside the throwback gem, KJo added a hilarious caption, revealing why he was asked by Shah Rukh Khan to “never set foot” on the basketball court. The picture features Karan holding a basketball in one hand and talking to the actor on set. “As if I knew anything about basketball…I kept calling it a ‘goal' till bhai took over and told me never to set foot on the court!" read the filmmaker's ROFL caption. FYI: in a game of basketball, you don't use the word ‘goal', rather you say, ‘the player has scored/scored a basket/scored a point.'

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai also starred Kajol and Rani Mukerji in the lead roles and Sana Saeed in a pivotal role. Salman Khan appeared in the film in a cameo role.
