A real shock for Kajol

During "Rukh Jaa O Dil," Raj drops Simran to the ground. Kajol was unaware of it, so her shocked reaction on the ground was genuine.

The movie`s title

The movie title was suggested by actress Kirron Kher (Anupam Kher`s wife), which was inspired by a song from the 1974 film Chor Machaye Shor.

The iconic leather jacket

The iconic leather jacket worn by Shah Rukh Khan was bought by Uday Chopra from a Harley-Davidson store in the United States.

The unique wardrobe choices

Celebrity stylist Manish Malhotra actually shortened Kajol`s iconic green skirt right on set to give it the exact look director Aditya Chopra wanted.
