‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ was the best film ever in the history of films. Period.
Chances are, you’ve already spent at least 2 years of your life watching this film over and over again just for the ‘galat har’ scenes.
To copy the hook steps.
Or just to hear Saif Ali Khan crack the “mere paas do doggie hain”.
And definitely to watch Kanta ben throw this hilarious fit.
Much recently, also to make hilarious GIFs that suit every situation in life.
Alright then. The case has been made.
It’s been 13 years since the film released. 13 years is a LONG time. And these then and now pictures of the cast of ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ will give you major, major nostalgia.
1. Aman Mathur
So, this is what Aman would have looked like today if he survived that terminal illness.
2. Naina Catherine Kapur
Spare me for repeating a joke from the internet but, Aman didn’t leave you 13 years ago Naina, so you could marry that American.
3. Rohit Patel
Hand him the award for the most striking makeover ever already, someone.
4. Jennifer Kapur
Nobody else but Jaya Bachchan could have done justice to those high octane emotional scenes. And this is what she looks like now!
5. Lajjo
Sushma Seth has actually grown younger, it seems!
6. Aman’s Mom
Remember Reema Lagoo? The understanding mother everyone wished they had?
7. Gia
Jhanak Shukla is all grown up now and this REALLY makes me feel old.
8. Shiv
Athit Naik seems way too attached to those glasses even today!
9. Jaswinder a.k.a. Jazz
Still quite the seductress, Lilette Dubey proves age is just a number.
10. Sweetu
The best character in the film, Delnaaz’s Sweetu was all of us as the binge-eating, lazy idiot who falls for the most stupid people!
11. Sarlaben Patel
Ketaki Dave’s iconic G U J J U needs to played at clubs, seriously.
12. Karsanbhai Patel
Satish Shah, the man who made us laugh in almost every family movie back in the day, has now grown really old and we don’t know how to feel about it.
13. Kantaben
With just a couple of scenes, Sulbha Arya literally stole the show in ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ with her homophobic act. Even 13 years later, her scenes never fail to make us laugh our guts out!
14. Camilia
Simone Singh’s surely aged well.
15. Geeta
Now the biggest stylist and costume designer in Bollywood, Anaita Shroff Adjania played a single mom in ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’. Yeah, the same Geeta ‘jiske do gande gande bachche hain’. She sure has found her true calling with time.
16. Frankie / Ramdayal
Who knew the butt of all jokes from the film, Dheepesh Bhatt aka Shivoham would grow up to become a crossfitter?
Why isn’t it okay to watch films at work, again?
