Why Salman agreed to do Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

For the unversed, Salman wasn't teh first choice for the role. Three actors had already rejected this special apperance in which Shah Rukh Khan was playing the lead role. He was talking to Alvira, Salman's sister who is his friend, when the Dabangg actor asked him about the role and agreed to do it. But there was catch. He asked for a huge sum of money, which KJo couldn't agree to. He then approached Chandrachur Singh and went all the way fromMalabar Hill to Seven Bungalows. Before Karan could even start with the narration, Chandrachur said he was not interested in the movie. Later, at a party, Salman went to KJo himself and he knew no one would accept this small role. He offered to do it. "I am doing your film, I like you, I like your father," the Tiger 3 actor told him.

In the note, Johar added, "In my wildest dreams I never imagined I would even get the opportunity of a narration ¡­ I went with a prayer in my heart and a deep desire for a miracle and narrated the first of the film like my life depended on it... He looked at me at the interval point ( by then I was looking like I was at the Sahara desert and water could keep me alive ) kindly offered me water and said 'I¡¯m on!!!' I was perplexed and said but 'you are in the second half' you haven¡¯t heard it? He said, 'I love your father and my sister will kill me if I don¡¯t do this movie' and that¡¯s how Salman Khan was in KKHH."

Also 25 years later we will finally have a story to tell again... not saying any more than that ? happy happy birthday."
