Rani Mukerji recalls being ‘petrified’ of wearing a short dress in ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’

Rani Mukerji left an indelible mark with her cameo in ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. For one of her scenes, the actress sported a short shirt dress, which left fans in awe. However, years later, the actress has revealed that the mini outfit made her uncomfortable.
At a recent event, Kajol praised Rani for dancing in a short dress in ‘Koi Mil Gaya’. “When I saw her in that, I thought, ‘It doesn’t look like she can move anything, how is she going to do that!’ But she was brilliant, flawless and so very graceful,” Kajol said.Reacting to the same, Rani said, “The honest answer is I don’t know it myself. I just went with the flow. I was only 17 years old and till such time, I hadn’t worn such a short skirt ever in my life. So when Karan and Manish (Malhotra) presented the outfit to me it was a gown, which kept getting shorter and shorter till I reached the set. When the outfit was taken to the cameramen, he looked at it and said, ‘Oh is this for baby Sana” and they were like, ‘No it is actually for Rani’ so he got a fright!”
Directed by Karan Johar, ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ was a huge hit when it released in 1998.
