Summary
- Rani Mukerji was apprehensive about playing Tina in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'
- Karan Johar's clear vision and passion convinced Rani to take the role
- Rani and Shah Rukh Khan's recent reunion as 'Tina Rahul' delighted fans
In 2025, Rani Mukerji is still fondly remembered for her role as Tina in the 1998 hit film 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'. Even 30 years later, when Rani and Shah Rukh Khan recently received a National Award together, fans were thrilled to see a 'Tina Rahul' reunion.
However, Rani has revealed that she was initially apprehensive about taking on the role of Tina, not because of the length of the part, but because Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol were already a popular on-screen pair after the success of 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge'. Many actresses had previously turned down the role of Tina, which was considered quite small.
