The story behind the titles of Bollywood films often holds fascinating anecdotes, and one such tale involves the iconic Shah Rukh Khan love story, "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna" (KANK). While Karan Johar directed the movie, it was Kirron Kher who inadvertently contributed to its memorable title.

"Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna," released in 2006, is a Hindi-language musical romantic drama that explores themes of marital infidelity and complex relationships. Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta, and Kirron Kher, the film was a departure from Karan Johar's usual family-centric themes.

Kirron Kher, known for her stellar filmography and her roles in blockbusters like "Devdas" and "Om Shanti Om" alongside Shah Rukh Khan, has a long-standing association with Dharma Productions and Karan Johar.

While the exact details of how Kirron Kher came up with the title are not widely known, it's understood that her suggestion resonated with Karan Johar and the team during the film's development. The title "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna," which translates to "Never Say Goodbye," perfectly encapsulates the film's themes of love, loss, and the complexities of human relationships. The film explores the intricacies of two unhappily married people and their extramarital affair.

Kirron Kher's career includes not only acting but also politics. In the film industry, Kher is known for her enjoyable collaborations with directors like Karan Johar. Kher has praised Shah Rukh Khan, calling him a "wonderful co-star" who "used to work with love". She has also mentioned that she had a lot of fun working with Khan in the 2007 film, 'Om Shanti Om'.

"Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna" was filmed primarily in New York City and was promoted with the tagline "A Love... That Broke All Relationships". The movie's music was composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, with lyrics penned by Javed Akhtar. The film was a commercial success, grossing ₹113 crore against a budget of ₹50 crore.
