The Karan Johar directorial starred Amitabh Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Kirron Kher, Shah Rukh Khan, and Preity Zinta. In the film, Preity played Rhea Saran, the wife of Dev Saran (SRK), as they struggled with their failing marriage.
Preity responded to a 2015 tweet where she recalled slapping an actor too hard while filming Kya Kehna (2000). Reflecting on her past experiences, she admitted to making a similar mistake in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna but at SRK’s request.
Preity Zinta recently engaged in an impromptu chat with her followers on Friday on X (formerly Twitter). During the session, the actress reminisced about her experience filming Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006), particularly a scene where she had to slap Shah Rukh Khan. Directed by Karan Johar, the film starred Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kirron Kher alongside Zinta and Khan. The two actors portrayed a married couple facing struggles in their relationship.
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna opens with Dev and Maya, two strangers united by their failing marriages. Dev, a former football star, grapples with his wife Rhea’s professional ambitions. Maya feels stifled by her husband Rishi’s lack of respect and affection. When Dev and Maya cross paths, the film poses an audacious question: Is it okay to seek love outside marriage?
