Further, she added, "And this was @___aryan___`s debut on screen! It was also, I think, my first comeback (not sure about this part, though; too many comebacks ago) and 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."
Aryan Khan played the role of a child in the film.
Even Karan Johar shared a video on this occasion and wrote, "My annual reminder of “It’s all about loving your family." and my audience, who have kept the spirit of #K3G alive even 22 years later. Eternally grateful to the magnificent and magnanimous cast—Amit Ji, Jaya Ji, Shahrukh Bhai, Kajol, Diggu, and Bebo—and all other special people in the cast and crew for just making this journey the most memorable one! Thank you today and always."
