Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is what you get when a beautiful girl comes in between two best friends...! A love triangle with a lot of insecurities. The below scene depicts it all...
It is a beautifully crafted story of love as seen from the perspective of three different people; blessed with the creative pairing of SRK and Kajol with the very beautiful Rani 😍. Salman Khan also made an appearance in the movie.
Rahul (SRK) and Anjali (Kajol) are best friends in college. They are very popular students who do everything together to such extents that when they even have a fight, the whole school would know and help them patch up (as seen in the song Yeh Ladka Hai Deewana).
Rahul is a playboy and Anjali is a tomboy (a pretty one, if I might add 😊). They share a very close relationship but deny any romantic feeling for each other. Anjali is used to Rahul's flirting with the girls and is not bothered until Tina (Rani Mukherjee) shows up; a new student from London who is also the principal, Mr. Malhotra's (Anupam Kher) daughter.
Rahul is smitten by Tina's beauty and does everything he can to win her over. Anjali becomes insecure and is threatened by Tina's beauty and Rahul's obsession with her. She realises she was in love with Rahul but before she could declare her love to him; he declares his love for Tina to her. Anjali is heartbroken and leaves college; this scene was oh so teary.
Rahul and Tina get married and have a daughter who they name Anjali (I will call her Anju to avoid confusion). Unfortunately, Tina dies after child birth from the complications of her pregnancy but before her death, she wrote eight letters, one for each of her daughter's first eight birthdays, and gives them to her mother in law (Farida Jalal).
On her eight birthday, Anju scoops through all her presents just to read her mothers last and most important letter which narrates how Tina met Rahul; and gives Anju the responsibility of reuniting Rahul and Anjali.
Under the pretext of attending a summer camp, Anju and her grandma, go in search of Anjali who was working at the camp. Rahul had not approved of Anju's going to the camp but she and her grandma went anyways 😊; they reach the camp, find Anjali, and lures Rahul there.
Rahul reaches the camp and sees a different and 'girly' Anjali (she is no longer a tomboy - she wears sari - has long hair with beautiful make up)... This scene is my fav! The look on their faces when they saw each other; the clumsiness as they try to greet each other; the love that radiated from their faces; the emotions - Oh my heart - you will want to be in love!!! 😍
Rahul stays back at the camp for some days and finds himself falling in love with Anjali. Anjali's love for Rahul is also reignited but she feels guilty as she is already engaged to Aman (Salman Khan). She leaves the camp and asks her mother to get her married immediately to Aman.
Rahul and his family attend the wedding; Anju goes missing at the venue (she went to plead with Aman not to marry Anjali); Rahul searches for her but finds Anjali and confesses his love to her silently... Oh! this scene... Kajol's beauty as a star shot by, SRK's tears as declares his love in sign language... Oh my days! 😍
Knowing how Rahul feels, Anjali becomes hesitant as she heads to the mandap for the wedding rituals; tears flow freely. Aman sees this and forcefully takes her hand and head for the mandap... or so we thought. He drags her to Rahul and releases her from their commitment, asking her to marry Rahul. Rahul and Anjali share a clumsy yet emotional hug and they get married... They live happily every after! I guess! 😃

KKHH is my all time favorite love story. It has it's shortcomings but I will not dwell on them; permit me to be biased 😏. I am a sucker for SRK-Kajol jodi and this one is an evergreen favorite of mine.
What I don't see as fair though, is how Anjali's love story had to wait for Tina to die before it blossomed. What if she hadn't died, what would have become of Anjali's love? I guess we will never know now... would we? Any-hoo, my favorite song is the melodious title track 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'
