Karan Johar said, “Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol are romance icons. They represent love in our movies. They have created love. Shah Rukh is love. In fact, Shah Rukh is not a superstar, he is an emotion, and he is love. The way he sings a love song and portrays a love scene; when he says ‘aur paas’, you want to completely go ‘paas’!”
“When he says ‘main nahin aaunga’, you believe him. When he says ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai tum nahi samjhogi’, even though we don’t know what he means, we still go with the flow because Shah Rukh Khan is Shah Rukh Khan, there will never be another Shah Rukh Khan. Similarly, there will be no other pairing like Shah Rukh-Kajol,” he added.
