Karan Johar dissects Shah Rukh Khan's Raj in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'

As King of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan marks 21 years since the release of his iconic film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Karan Johar stepped forth to dissect his character in the film.

In an interview with Mid-Day, director of the classic romantic film, Karan Johar spilled the beans on what the character of King Khan actually stood for and what made him act the way that he did.

"Rahul doesn't stand for very much. He's a deeply confused character, doesn't know what he wants and didn't do a lot much in the movie,” he said.

“Whatever happened to him was because people were pushing him - his dead wife's spirit, his eight-year-old daughter, and Anjali herself. What made him endearing was his charm, his large heart and Shah Rukh's charisma,” he added.

Regarding the character of Raj existing in the present-day, Johar said: "I'd give him a spine and more EQ [emotional quotient]. I'd also introduce more confrontation. Rahul, today, would be able to have an open conversation with Anjali. He'll know that she likes him and he'd address that with her. If Tina were to die, he'd come to terms with his feelings for Anjali and go back to her, not sit moping."
