In an old video from Karan Johar's talk show Koffee With Karan, Salman Khan was seen as the guest. In the video, Johar confessed that he had reached out to several stars for Aman's role in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' before reaching out to Salman Khan. Speaking about the struggle to find a second lead, Karan said, “I remember the first time I ever came to your zone to narrate my first film to you. Saif and Chandrachur had said no to the role. And you said that no one’s going to do your role, you come and meet me tomorrow.”
Salman explained, “It was not difficult for you to get a Shah Rukh Khan in the film but it was very difficult for you to get this casting (Aman) because Saif at that point of time was doing nothing. Chandrachur was doing nothing. Even they refused it. I did it, Karan. I saw talent, I saw genius in you. And after that you never worked with me.”
