2. Waheeda Rahman was signed for the role of Amitabh Bachchan’s mother in the film but the veteran actor quit the project after the death of her husband. She was replaced by Achala Sachdev, whose character dies in the middle of the film.

3. It is said John Abraham offered the role of Poo's college friend and stalker, Robbie. He chose to decline it and missed his chance of being a part of the epic family saga. The Character was finally played by Vikas Sethi.

4. Jugal Hansraj also had a cameo in the film since Karan considered him his lucky mascot. He played the role of Hrithik’s college friend.

5. Abhishek Bachchan also shot a cameo in the film. He had shared the frame with Kareena and was to be seen refusing her to accompany her to the prom, but the scene was deleted during editing.

6. Moviegoers had also noticed some peculiar mistakes in the film which continue to be talked about. While Hrithik’s character owned a convertible Lamborghini Countache as he arrived at his new college, he was seen driving a Mercedes while giving Shah Rukh a lift.

7. The flashback narration was set in 1991 during which Amitabh sang the song Aati Kya Khandala at his birthday party. However, the song from Aamir Khan’s film Ghulam was released many years later in 1998.

8. Before Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, the last movie Amitabh and Jaya Bachan did together was Silsila in 1981. Earlier, the two have been seen in films such as Chupke Chupke (1972) and Abhimaan (1973). After a gap of 20 years, Karan Johan finally brought them together again.

Thank you to Yashraj and the team for bringing this fantastic film to us!
