Both SRK and Kajol were new at that time. SRK had no star power when DDLJ released so both of them did well because of each other.
And Karan first movie was kuch kuch hota hai and it was SRK and Kajol who agreed to do his movie so basically Karan Johar and SRK were not a big thing on 1995 or 1996.[/quote]
Is this a joke?
SRK's first hit was Deewana! After that he had another hit with Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman. He had won the Debut Award for Deewana and stole the show from Rishi Kapoor. By the time Baazigar came, SRK was already famous and an award winner. Even prior to films, SRK was a very popular TV actor. His fame and success far exceeded Kajol's.
By the time DDLJ came, SRK had already had loads of hits, a Best Debut Award, a Best Actor award, Best Villain award, and even a Critics actor award for Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naan. In Darr, he had stolen the show from Sunny Deol. Same thing that happened with Rishi earlier.
SRK had no star power when DDLJ released ... 😆
Kajol has benefitted immensely from her chemistry with SRK. Even without those movies with her, SRK would still be a super successful star. Same is not true for Kajol. Without Baazigar, KKHH, Kabhi Khushi and MNIK, she would barely have anything.
