Kajol said, “I had a great time. I worked with my friends and had a blast. I knew we were making a good film because the script was fantastic, and we all laughed through it. We ate good food, travelled around Switzerland in a bus, and just generally had the blast time. It was like being on one long working holiday."
She talked about the fond memories of the shoots, terming them to be both chaotic and thrilling. She recalled, “Yes, parts of it were ridiculous, like trying to drape a sari in a cow shed and rolling down a hill by mistake. Who rolls down a hill by mistake! But I’ve done that. It was like we were running to finish, changing clothes, and before the sunsets, we would sometimes have 15 minutes for the shot. All that madness, I loved every bit of it.”

It’s everything – the script, Shah Rukh saying those lines, it’s the romance and drama of the nineties in the best way possible!”
