Kjo is indirectly saying that bhai himself decided to do it and asked for it even without kjo approaching him ...who does that 😆

Kjo didn't approached him coz he was sure as Salman being bigger star won't do this supporting role, for which his surprise, salman did for his father.

That day u assuming Salman asking for work won't come, despite his bad phase, he always got films.

Aman was best part of KKHH. We did not even know that Salman was in the movie. What a surprise it was !!!

i went to watch it the first day it started showing in kl. i remembered everyone was so excited when salman showed up on screen, they were clapping and shouting for him (myself included). he was so good looking in that film

We have already heard different version of how bhai came onboard and kjo is talking as if salman was the same star that time as he is now 😆

Oh dear, you need to have a look at figures first, Salman Khan was number one star in 1990s. Even if we do not give him the numero uno position, Salman and shahrukh as superstars/stars had always been on same pedestal; at least competition wise.

Excerpts from "indicine.com": -

Most successful Bollywood actors 1990 - 1999

We finally have the analysis of the most successful actors between 1990 - 1999. It's a decade that marked the rise of the three Khans, while Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar were growing their fanbase and delivering quite a few hits in between.

Salman Khan leads in every category - highest net collections, success ratio, hit ratio and the best average per film. He also has the highest grosser and the most watched film of the 90s in Sooraj Barjatya's Hum Aapke Hain Kaun.

Salman and Shah Rukh are the only two actors to average more than 10 crore plus per film.

Most number of films:

Akshay Kumar - 42 films
Ajay Devgn - 33 films
Salman Khan - 29 films
Shah Rukh Khan - 28 films
Aamir Khan - 23 films

Total Net Collections for each actor between 1990 - 1999:

Salman Khan - 375 crore
Shah Rukh Khan - 327 crore
Ajay Devgn - 221 crore
Akshay Kumar - 196 crore
Aamir Khan - 186 crore

Average net box office collections per film between 1990 - 1999

Salman Khan - 12.9 crore
Shah Rukh Khan - 11.7 crore
Aamir Khan - 8.1 crore
Ajay Devgn - 6.7 crore
Akshay Kumar - 4.7 crore

Success Ratio i.e Above Average or better

Salman Khan - 52%
Shah Rukh Khan - 39%
Ajay Devgn - 36%
Aamir Khan - 35%
Akshay Kumar - 24%

Hit Ratio i.e Hit or Better

Salman Khan - 45%
Shah Rukh Khan - 32%
Aamir Khan - 22%
Ajay Devgn - 18%
Akshay Kumar - 10%

Note: We haven't included two prolific actors - Sunny Deol and Govinda - in the list. Deol was a superstar, even though he wasn't very consistent at the box office. He had quite a few hugely successful films like Border, Darr, Zindi and Ghatak, just to name a few. Govinda delivered several hits with David Dhawan and was one of the most popular and successful actors of the 90s. We are currently in the process of retrieving data from old film magazines. We are also working with a well-known trade analyst to rectify the 90s data, which isn't as accurate as we'd want it to be at the moment.

Salman's role was best in the film and much more bearable where the two lead actors were overacting.

The leads were so goddamn irritating, especially Kajol.

And bhai's chances of approaching kjo on his own out of some symathy/goodwill is nil in my opinion...he didn't even have BH in 1998 to do charitable work .😳

I was a weird kid cos instead of liking SRK I started liking Salman when I watched this film for the first time 😆 When he makes an entry in all black he looked so handsome (Salman always looks best in black like in tere mast mast doh nain too ❤️ )

That saajan ji ghar aaye entry was so epic and I rewatched that movie over the years only for his scenes in the movie. Nahi karti na voh mujhse pyaar :'( Anjali was so dumb for not loving such a handsome loving guy who accepted her just as she is instead of Rahul who liked her only when she became 'girly'

But it doesn't matter cos Aman toh itna handsome hai ki usko koi bhi ladki mil sakti hai :P

One of the most baqwas movie.

That time Sharukh had a record of breaking engagements. DDLJ, Dil to pagal hei, Pardes. (My sister used to tell me, "If it was a real guy, how much people would have hated him. But here we love him"). I had liked those movies. But Sharukh's character had genuinely fallen in love with each of them.

But not in KKHH. I hated Sharukh and that daughter both, passionately. 😆. That girl was saying to Salman, "You are handsome, you can get any girl". So did Anjali. Why should she get married to Rahul?

In one scene Anjali tells her mom, "Only first love is love. Rest are all compromise". What about Aman? Because she was his first love, he should go for compromise next.

The word love was just used for convenience in the whole movie. That's why, even now it irritates me.

Salman was not that that big star as Karan is making it out to be. Dil to paagal hei had Akki in a guest role. If Akki had become as big as Salman today, one can't say he was generous then. He happened to be there. That's it. (But in the movie, I shipped Salman-Kajol).
