New Delhi: The latest episode of 'Koffee With Karan' featured Rani Mukerji and Kajol on the couch. Both of the guests share a special bond with the host Karan Johar as they worked with him in the filmmaker’s debut film ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.’ 

As the three friends started talking, they recollected many memories of their three-decade old friendship, among them was this one incident when KJo, Rani's husband Aditya Chopra, actress Raveena Tandon's husband Anil Thadani and celebrity fashion designer Manish Malhotra were in UK and someone thought of them to be a couple. 

Walking down memory lane, Karan said, "Adi was setting up Yash Raj Films in the UK, and Anil Thadani at that time was his partner. So, we had taken an apartment with two bedrooms at that time because I was shopping with Manish and they were setting up the Yash Raj office." 

He further mentioned, "So the guy who was the concierge of that building at one point looked at Adi and Anil because first in the morning, Adi and Anil in corporate clothes used to leave. And then me and Manish with our shopping bags used to go. So the concierge had said to Adi once, 'You all are both such lovely couples'." 

"We looked like our husbands are going to work and we are the wives who go shopping and waste their money... I was like, I want Adi then. It was hilarious," the filmmaker added. 

Rani and Kajol burst out laughing when they heard this anecdote. Kajol even quipped, "You all take such good care of your husbands," he added. 

Karan also recollected the first day of the shoot of 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', as he said, "She told me, 'Karan, you're a bit soft. You will get intimidated, it's a big set. You need to show you have control, you're the director though you're only 24 years old. So why don't you scream at me loudly'?." 

He added, "If you manage to do that, everybody will be like you have to take this director seriously because he screamed at Kajol’. I just thought it was very sweet of you though I didn't land up screaming at you because I thought it will be a bit too much if on day 1, I start screaming at such a big movie star." 

'Koffee With Karan' season 8 streams on Disney+ Hotstar.
