Trivia

  • The film's title was inspired by a line from the 1995 film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, where Shah Rukh Khan's character says 'kuch kuch hota hai'.
  • Karan Johar originally wanted Kajol to play both Tina and Anjali, but the idea was dropped as it was considered too complex.
  • The iconic 'Tuffy' pendant worn by Rani Mukerji's character was custom-made for the film and sparked a major fashion trend.
  • The college scenes were shot at St. Xavier's College in Mumbai, but the film's college is fictional and named 'St. Xavier's' as an homage.
  • This was the first Hindi film to have a promotional website before its release, a novel concept in India in 1998.
  • The song 'Koi Mil Gaya' was originally composed for another film but was reworked and included in this soundtrack.
  • Shah Rukh Khan performed his own basketball scenes, drawing on his experience as a sportsman in school and college.
