As the 1998 romantic drama ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ completes 25 years of its release on Monday, the lead actress of the film Kajol took a stroll down the memory lane and became Anjali once again, calling it a labour of love.

So glad that everyone loves it as much as I do. A first for @karanjohar and a beginning to an amazing journey for @dharmamovies .. Fabulous music that still resonates, even today.. #kkhh is and always will be a labour of love.”
