Trivia

The man shown at the beginning of the movie playing with young Naina is actually the cinematographer of the movie, Anil Mehta.

In the beginning we apparently see Naina running, but Preity Zinta had fallen and injured herself. Nikhil Advani got a model to jog in front of the camera instead.

Share this

Karan Johar had written the script with his friend Kareena Kapoor in mind as the leading lady. But she asked for too high a fee and was replaced by Preity Zinta.

Quotes

Lajjo Kapur: Oh, so you are awake...! Looking so good like Hari Putter!

Share this

Rohit Patel: Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to Lalaland... Rohit loves Naina but Naina doesn't love Rohit. She loves Aman. But Aman tells Rohit that he shouldn't let go of Naina so easily. So basically Aman is... insane!

Share this

Aman Mathur: Frankie Ramdayal, this girlfriend of mine wants me to leave me for you. She says you are cool, sexy, she says your hairstyle is wow! What do I do Sweetu? If I've not seen 'Dil Chahta Hai', so what if I don't know much about hairstyles?
