Rani Mukherjee said that this film was an eye opener. The actress said, 'I think there were a lot of divorces after Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. A lot of people were going to the theater and watching the movie with extreme discomfort. I think this is the response that Karan got for his film and I think this film opened the eyes of many people and they decided to be happy.

Talking about her Maya, the actress said, 'The beautiful thing about Maya's character is that she loved Rishi in a different capacity and as a friend. He found the romance in Shahrukh's character that he was always looking for. Rani Mukherjee said, 'Actually, Karan Johar was brave enough to make such a film at a time when he was not sure what was happening. I think it is important to stand with strong films and strong roles.

Rani said, 'It will always be remembered in the history of Indian cinema as a film that was ahead of its time.' During a conversation, Karan had openly talked about the fight with Aditya Chopra. There was a fight between Shahrukh and Rani over an intimate scene in the film Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna Hai.

Karan had told, 'I was shooting that sequence and was at a snow covered location. Adi called me and said listen, I have been thinking about this for the last few days and this thing is coming to my mind again and again. I don't think bold scenes should be filmed on her. I think this will not be accepted in India. Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna was released in 2006. Artists like Shahrukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Preity Zinta and Anupam Kher were seen in this film.
