Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, directed by Karan Johar, turned 20 on Tuesday. Actor Sidharth Malhotra re-created a classic sequence from the film.
Sidharth Malhotra shared a video in which he re-enacted Shah Rukh Khan’s famous sequence from the film, in which he arrives in a helicopter while Jaya Bachchan waits outside with a thali. Sidharth captioned this post, “Love this iconic scene from K3G of SRK Sir’s entry, here’s me having my other Ma wait for me – CINEMA! Congratulations @karanjohar and the entire team on competing 20years #20YearsOfK3G.”

As an homage, Karan posted a four-minute video on Instagram. He penned, “Overwhelmed with the endless love that has poured in from all corners of the world and the industry for celebrating this grand milestone that #KabhiKhushiKabhieGham hits today. Thank you falls short. A little piece of my heart for you on this day. And so it goes…it’s all about loving your…family! From us to you, happy #20YearsOfK3G!”
The film’s behind-the-scenes footage opens the video. The voice of Karan can be heard, “A film, a journey, memories that are indispensable, I sometimes feel like I don’t have words to describe my feeling when it comes to this film.”
As Karan highlighted the difficulty of assembling such a popular cast, several popular scenes from the film played. He stated, “Music and dance are, without a doubt, the bed and blanket of Bollywood but perhaps this wasn’t something I was really stressed about. The true challenge was justifying the icons that were cast in the film. Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, living legends, the eternal duo of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, who are dearest to my heart since my very first film, and the trend-setters of that era, Hrithik and Kareena, and they still continue to be.”
On December 14, 2001, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham was released. The film received 16 nominations and five prizes at the 47th Filmfare Awards at the time. Apart from Kareena Kapoor, the film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Hrithik Roshan. Rani Mukerji had a cameo appearance in the film.
