Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt daughter and Alia Bhatt’s elder sister Pooja Bhatt is back in the game after a decade-long hiatus. Celebrating her 22-year-old hit film Chaahat which starred Shah Rukh Khan alongside her, she shared a picture from the sets on her Instagram page. The picture has Shah Rukh sheltering Pooja with a mat as he looks at her in astonishment. She captioned it as “I’ll cover you”, followed by the lyrics of its title track Chaahat Na Hoti.

What caught our attention is Karan Johar’s comment on the post. He shared an interesting anecdote and wrote, “A film I will always remember! Narrated KKHH to SRK on Chaahat sets in Jaipur”. Karan’s Kuch Kuch Hota Hai eventually was made in 1998 and starred SRK with Kajol and Rani Mukerji. In fact, the film remains a cult favourite even today. Another interesting trivia is that Karan’s KKHH will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year in October.
