Kajol's nostalgic reflections

Even Kajol took a trip down memory lane and remembered many firsts from the sets, including the acting debut of SRK's elder son, Aryan Khan. She wrote, "22 years to #k3g. Another acronym, but yes, another long-lasting memory!!! Yash uncle actually renovated and made new makeup rooms in Filmistan Studios permanently just for the shooting of this film because even with the vanity vans, it was not going to be enough for this gigantic starrer! Karan Johar collapsed and fainted on set because of dehydration in the first few days. It was really, really hot! And this was Aryan Khan's debut on screen! It was also, I think, my first comeback. Not sure about this part, though; too many comebacks ago. And it was the first and only time I stood in front of the pyramids and truly felt them with my soul. So yes, this was a truly huge film in every way—in life and cinema! (sic)"
