Bollywood has its fair share of on-set mishaps, but few are as dramatic — or as heartwarming — as the incident involving Kajol during the making of the 1998 blockbuster Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. While audiences fondly remember the film for its iconic songs and the timeless chemistry between Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Rani Mukerji, not many know that a lighthearted scene once turned unexpectedly serious, leaving Kajol temporarily unconscious and with partial memory loss.The incident occurred during the filming of the popular number Yeh Ladka Hai Deewana, a playful sequence that required Kajol to ride a bicycle alongside Shah Rukh Khan. Midway through the shoot, Kajol lost control of the bicycle, suffered a bad fall, and briefly lost consciousness.What followed was a moment of genuine concern on set. As director Karan Johar and the crew rushed to Kajol’s side, they quickly realized that the accident had affected more than just her physical state. Upon regaining consciousness, Kajol displayed signs of short-term memory loss. She was disoriented, unable to recognize where she was, or recall details about the film or its production.In a twist straight out of a movie script, the only person Kajol seemed to remember was her then-boyfriend, now husband, Ajay Devgn. A worried Karan Johar immediately called Devgn, who arrived on set to be by her side. According to accounts from those present, it was only after seeing Ajay that Kajol slowly began to regain her composure.Thankfully, Kajol made a swift recovery, and the rest, as they say, is Bollywood history. But this little-known incident has remained a touching chapter in Kajol and Ajay Devgn’s real-life love story — a testament to the bond that even memory loss couldn’t break.Kajol is now gearing up for a big screen return with Maa – a mythological horror film directed by Vishal Furia and backed by Ajay himself- the film is releasing on 27th June.
