Dancer-choreographer Shakti Mohan along with her sisters Neeti and Mukti Mohan, recreated the iconic Kareena Kapoor Khan’s character ‘Poo’ from the 2001 blockbuster film “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham”, with filmmaker Karan Johar joining in on the banter.
Shakti took to Instagram, where she shared a reel. In the clip, three sisters are seen mouthing the iconic lines “Kaun hai yeh jisne dobara mudke mujhe nahi dekha?, who is he?”. The line was originally mouthed by Kareena for actor Hrithik Roshan in the 2001 cult classic.
The camera then pans on the filmmaker, who says: “Who am I? Google me.”
For the caption, an ecstatic Shakti said that she cannot believe she got to live this “iconic” moment with Karan.
She wrote: “With the Main Man of romance himself & my forever co-stars my sisters. Can’t believe we got to live this Iconic moment with the OG @karanjohar sir.”
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham… also called K3G, is directed by Karan Johar. The family drama stars Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, and Kareena Kapoor, with Rani Mukerji in a guest appearance.
The film follows a wealthy Indian family that becomes estranged when the adopted son is disowned by his father for marrying a woman of lower socio-economic status, leading to years of separation and eventual reconciliation.
Over time, the film has attained cult status, with Khan’s character becoming an icon, and is frequently cited as a landmark in Hindi cinema.
