[edit] Trivia
- Kajol, who has played opposite Shahrukh Khan in the successful movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge can be seen as an unknown girl on the exact same railway station as in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (The song Tujhe dekha from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is played in the background). When Khan's character Bablu asks her if she wants to marry him she refrains in the exact same way as in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and leaves screen, calling for a man called Raj, presumably the same Raj from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, also played by Shahrukh Khan.
- Bablu always calls his mother "Bebe"
