On Instagram, Karan penned a detailed note about Salman's unexpected acceptance of the guest role in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai when no one else was willing. At a party, noticing Karan preoccupied with casting the role of Aman, Salman offered to meet the following day. Surprisingly, upon hearing the film's storyline, Salman agreed to be a part of it, even before knowing his character's involvement in the second half—a moment that puzzled Karan.

"I went with a prayer in my heart and a deep desire for a miracle and narrated the first of the film like my life depended on it…He looked at me at the interval point ( by then I was looking like I was at the Sahara desert and water could keep me alive ) kindly offered me water and said “ I’’m on!!! “ I was perplexed and said but “ you are in the second half” you haven’t heard it? He said “ I love your father and my sister will kill me if I don’t do this movie” and that’s how Salman Khan was in KKHH," wrote Karan on Instagram.
