1.  Javed Akhtar’s lyrics for ‘Chaand Taare’ almost seemed to predict Shah Rukh Khan’s rise to international stardom. The lines now reflect his status as one of the world’s most celebrated actors.
2. The iconic song was shot in front of Mannat before Shah Rukh even owned it. Fate had it that he’d soon become the king of Bollywood, owning the mansion that featured so prominently in the film.
3. Originally, the film was going to be called ‘Mohabbat Isko Kehte Hain’. It’s also based on the 1993 film ‘For Love Or Money,’ starring Michael J. Fox.
4. At the 43rd Filmfare Awards, the film was nominated for six awards, including ‘Best Actor’ for Shah Rukh, ‘Best Actress’ for Juhi Chawla, and ‘Best Villain’ for Aditya Pancholi. It won ‘Best Male Playback Singer’ for Abhijeet Bhattacharya’s ‘Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaaoon’.
5. In the song ‘Jaata Hai Tu Kahan’ from ‘Yes Boss’, Shah Rukh Khan gives the nod to Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan. He pays homage by wrapping a cloth around his head and munching on the classic Indian betel leaf, or paan, mirroring the iconic scene from the 1978 film Don. In that classic, Amitabh Bachchan’s character famously sings ‘Kaike Paan Banaras Wala.’

It just goes on to show that some films become more than just entertainment—they become legendary chapters in a larger story.
