The title track from the movie of the same name, 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,' starred Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Rani Mukerji in lead roles.

In a showcase of cultural influence encouraging bilateral ties between the two countries, an Indonesian delegation sang the iconic Bollywood song 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' at the banquet hosted by President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday. The delegation, hosted in honour of Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, was attended by senior Indonesian ministers.
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is on his first state visit to India. He graced the 76th Republic Day celebrations as the Chief Guest at Kartavya Path today.
The 76th Republic Day celebrations also featured Indonesia's Genderang Suling Canka Lokananta, a 190-member ensemble band from the Indonesian Military Academy (Akmil), symbolizing discipline and military tradition. This unique blend of military music and noble values reflects the spirit and honor of the academy.
Kajol was last seen playing the role of a headstrong police officer, Vidya Jyothi in Shashanka Chaturvedi's directorial, "Do Patti". Aside from Kajol, the film also saw Kriti Sanon and Shaheer Sheikh in lead roles. "Do Patti" premiered on Netflix on 25 October 2024 and received mixed reviews from the audience.
