did not understand this dirty joke in Kal ho na ho

Btw why does Kjo like to pretend this was his movie? KHNH IMO was the best Kjo movie Kjo didn't make.

He wrote about it in his book - something about feeling unconfident about directing KHNH after getting bad reviews for K3G, and so after writing it he then decided to give it to Nikhil Advani (his assistant) to direct at the last minute. He was on set the whole time and the reason SRK, Saif and Preity were in the film too, he definitely had a say in everything in the movie too (it had very typical KJo humour). But of course the story would have been very different if it hadn't done well, we all know how he likes to pretend he didn't produce movies like Baar Baar Dekho and Kaal.

Lame excuse since that was his biggest hit. I think he did it out of desperation. He wanted to build a big production house like YRF, not wanted to stay the boutique PH, like a director who can afford to produce his own movies only. So he pushed his ADs... Nikhil Advani wala worked but Soham wala didn't.
