‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…’ featured Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, and Kareena Kapoor, with Rani Mukerji in a special appearance. The 2001 film centers on a rich household that fractures when the patriarch rejects his adopted son for marrying a woman he considers beneath the family’s status. The story tracks years of separation before reconciliation.According to Ten News, the film was the most expensive Indian production and went on to become one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever. Over the years, it gained cult status, with Khan’s character becoming iconic and the film often cited as a landmark for its global reach and appeal among the Indian diaspora.Streep’s career spans more than five decades and includes three Academy Awards, two British Academy Film Awards, eight Golden Globe Awards, four Emmy Awards, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards, along with nominations for seven Grammy Awards and a Tony Award. Johar’s post suggests that even a virtual frame could be enough to bring his cinematic wish closer to reality.
