Didn't understand the story when I signed Kuch Kuch Hota Hai: Shah Rukh Khan

On the very special occasion of the 20th anniversary celebration Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (KKHH), the lead actor of the film, Shah Rukh Khan said on Tuesday (16 October) that initially, director Karan Johar narrated a 'crap story' but he signed the film because of the conviction of the director.

"I never listen to scripts, I listen to the heartbeats of the people I work with. Till date, I never understood a script. And I can say this with confidence that I never understood the script but the script maker or the filmmaker," Khan said in presence of the film's cast and crew and the media as part of the celebrations.

He went on adding, "Karan came and narrated an utterly nonsense crap story to me; which is certainly not the one that finally you people saw in the film. In his strange way Karan, the man with many words tried to impress me with his crap story. So yes, I really did not understand the story when I signed in and I am glad that I did not get into the story and just went ahead with the conviction of Karan, otherwise the film would have not been the way it came out."
