Rani Mukerji’s deleted Godbharai scene from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai goes viral, watch video

There are few Bollywood films as iconic as Karan Johar’s Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, released in 1998. Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, Kajol, Salman Khan, Farida Jalal, Anupam Kher, and child actor Sana Saeed, the film remains a timeless favorite for audiences across generations. Its mix of romance, friendship, and emotion has kept it etched in the hearts of fans for over two decades. But now, a recently resurfaced deleted scene has given the movie a new talking point.

The scene in question revolves around Rani Mukerji’s character Tina and her godh bharai (baby shower) ceremony — an event that never made it to the final cut of the film. In the version audiences saw in theaters, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai begins with Tina in the hospital, moments before giving birth to her daughter, Anjali. She makes Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) promise to name their child after his college friend, Anjali (Kajol). But a lingering question always remained for fans: what happened during Tina’s pregnancy?

The deleted godh bharai scene answers this mystery. It depicts a poignant moment where Tina participates in the ceremony but is visibly unhappy. The emotional weight behind her expression becomes clear — Tina already knows she will not survive childbirth. Her sacrifice is deliberate, ensuring that the Khanna family gets their grandchild, even at the cost of her own life.

This rare footage, now making waves on social media, has stirred an emotional response among fans. Many are grateful to finally see the missing link in Tina’s storyline. One user commented, “So thankful for this post. Every time I heard the song, I wondered — whose godh bharai is this? Now it all makes sense.” Another viewer speculated, “Maybe she was crying because she already knew about her medical condition?” Others expressed disappointment that such a powerful scene was left out, saying it could have deepened the film’s emotional impact.
