When Salman Khan said yes to a Karan Johar film to save filmmaker from depression after multiple rejections

There was a time when Karan Johar was struggling to get a second lead for his very first film, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and he faced multiple rejections by the biggies at that time, including Chunky Pandey, who was the star at the time. In one of the old chats with Sajid Khan and Riteish Deshmukh on their show, Karan Johar calls Salman Khan the golden heart actor and reveals one of the anecdotes about finding the perfect cast for the role and how he struggled to find one, which led him to almost fall depressed. But the Tiger 3 star turned into his saviour and said yes to him. But there is an interesting twist here.
