Kajol recalls memory loss on Kuch Kuch Hota Hai set

Some behind-the-scenes stories never lose their charm — especially when they involve iconic films, beloved stars, and a touch of chaos. Kajol’s unforgettable memory loss incident from the sets of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai has long been part of Bollywood lore. But now, as the actress revisits the moment with fresh humour and hilarious new details on Farah Khan’s vlog and in recent interviews, fans are getting a whole new take on what really happened that day — complete with panicked co-stars, a surprise recovery, and Karan Johar’s mischievous antics.Kajol recently appeared on Farah's vlog along with her team. During their light-hearted conversation, Farah revisited the well-known incident from the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai shoot, where Kajol fell off a bicycle and temporarily lost her memory. Adding a playful spin, Farah joked that the memory loss may have been Kajol’s way of blocking out Karan Johar’s presence on set. Kajol, in her trademark wit, responded with a hilarious theory of her own—suggesting Karan might’ve seen it as the perfect chance to convince her she was just a background dancer.Recalling SRK's reaction during the incident, Kajol shared how he had been genuinely worried as she sat dazed with a pounding head. While he tried to offer her medicine, she kept refusing, insisting she didn’t take tablets. Strangely, three hours later, her memory returned, and she felt completely normal — though she had no recollection of what happened in that time. Shah Rukh, amused and relieved, pointed out that she had taken the medicine after all, calling her an idiot for forgetting even that.

In another interview with Mashable India, Kajol delved deeper into the chaos that followed the accident. She revealed that both Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar were completely shaken as she sat crying, confused, and unable to recognise anyone. In her disoriented state, she kept asking who they were and insisting she wanted to go home — only to realise they were shooting in Mauritius, far from home, making the situation even more surreal and stressful for everyone involved.On her vlog, Farah Khan shared a quirky superstition from her filmmaking days — that if a heroine took a fall on set, the film was destined to succeed. She recalled how Kajol had stumbled on nearly every project they worked on together, including Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and joked that her falls became a good luck charm. The belief grew so strong that during the shoot of Kal Ho Naa Ho, when Preity Zinta accidentally fell on a bridge, the team felt oddly reassured about the film’s fate. Farah even joked that these days, she’s tempted to give her actors a gentle push — just to keep the hit streak going.
