While KWK fans are all set to be treated with Kajol and Rani Mukerji’s presence on the chat show, a new report has revealed what they will be talking about on the show. During the episode, Rani reportedly mentions that she played a mother when she was only 17 years old.
Following this, A Pinkvilla report quoted Karan speaking about Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and said: “Interestingly though Shah Rukh Khan played the father of an 8-year-old when he was 31. Today you ask any of the younger generation boys, none of them want to play father. Because they are all worried about aging too soon. I am not talking about the women, I am also talking about the men here."
Rani then maintained that she played a mother when she was 27 and 17 years old.
As per IANS, Karan got candid about his best friend Aditya Chopra and his wedding with Rani. The filmmaker shared that Kajol knew Aditya before Rani and called him his best friend.
He said, "I don't even want to say where it was because I think he will still fire me like decades later."
On the professional front, Karan was last seen directing Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, and the film was a major critical and commercial success. The Ranveer Singh-Alia Bhatt starrer marked his return to the director's chair after nearly seven years and his 25th year as a director. The film also starred Jaya Bachchan, Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi.
