Karan Johar took to his Instagram account and said Kal Ho Naa Ho was an emotional journey for him.
Going down memory lane, KJo wrote, "To bring such a stellar starcast together with a story that has a beating heart…it’s all kudos to the entire cast and team behind the camera for making Kal Ho Naa Ho still beat strong and within everyone’s hearts. For me, this was the last film that my father was a part of from the Dharma family…and it feels surreal to have his presence in every frame as I rewatch it even till today (sic)."
