Actor Rani Mukerji recently opened up about how she managed to dance to the iconic track 'Koi Mil Gaya' from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in an extremely short dress at the age of only 17.
The actor was recently seen at a mini Kuch Kuch Hota Hai reunion with Kajol at the Hello! Awards on 16 April.
During the event, Kajol said, "When I saw her (Rani) in that, I thought, ‘It doesn’t look like she can move anything; how is she going to do that?' But she was brilliant, flawless, and so very graceful."
In response, Rani revealed, "The honest answer is I don’t know it myself. I just went with the flow. I was only 17 years old, and till such time, I hadn’t worn such a short skirt ever in my life. So when Karan and Manish (Malhotra) presented the outfit to me, it was a gown, which kept getting shorter and shorter till I reached the set. When the outfit was taken to the cameramen, he looked at it and said, ‘Oh, is this for baby Sana?' and they were like, ‘No, it is actually for Rani' so he got a fright!"
Rani further shared that the team, however, made her feel comfortable in that dress. "I had Shah Rukh, Kajol, Karan, and Farah, who was choreographing the song. There was a lot of support I got from the team, especially from Karan, who made me feel very confident. I was petrified walking on top of that platform because all the boys and girls were below, looking up, so that was quite a nightmare for me. When I saw myself on screen, I was also shocked," Rani added.
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, directed by Karan Johar, is a romantic cult classic that starred Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, and Kajol in the lead roles.
