While Kuch Kuch Hota Hai still strives to be one of the most celebrated films ever in Bollywood, there was once a time when a scene from the film had sparked controversy. Well, the scene concerned featured the then-child artist, Parzaan Dastur, who counted the stars in the particular scene of the film. While Parzaan’s character was definitely loved and adored by all, especially his cutesy dialogue, ‘Tussi jaa rahe ho… tussi naa jaao’, however, the Sikh community took this character portrayal in offence, and argued that it mocked their community. As a result, back in 1998, several Sikh members in Delhi had shown their outrage against the film.
Thereafter, the makers had to cut short a few moments from that particular scene featuring Parzaan Dastur counting the stars, and thereafter having a funny yet mimed conversation with Johnny Lever, before the film was rolled out in the theatres in Delhi.
