Karan recalled that he could not be there for the opening. He said, “just the most surreal moment.” He further said, “I wasn’t there actually when it was released. We had some threatening calls at that time. So my parents and I had to fly out on opening night for security purposes. So I never saw the film back home at all. I used to just have friends who would call me and put the phone towards the audience when Salman enters or any other big moment in the film. And I would have tears coming down because I wasn’t there and couldn’t see it.”

Karan said he watched the film in London a couple of times but it wasn’t the same. He added, “Winning those awards. I remember holding that first Filmfare award, and I couldn’t breathe.”
