Juhi Chawla, who starred in Darr alongside Shah Rukh Khan revealed that the actor picked up K-K-K-Kiran after observing that director Yash Chopra stammered .

Yash Chopra’s Darr was a significant film in Shah Rukh Khan‘s career. Released in 1993, it showcased him in a negative role, which was a departure from the typical romantic hero roles he has been playing over the decades. His portrayal of the obsessive lover, Rahul Mehra, was intense and memorable. The dialogue ‘I love you K-K-K-Kiran’ became iconic and is still associated with his character in the film. This role helped establish SRK as a versatile actor capable of playing complex characters, and it contributed significantly to his rise to stardom in Bollywood.

“So, you can’t say the word. I told Yashji (Yash Chopra) that I would like to use this aspect with the character. And then Adi (Aditya Chopra) suggested that because you become aware of a sound, let’s make him aware of the woman he loves the most, her name. So, I only stammer on the word Kiran. It was just for that one word because he’s so aware of her,” Shah Rukh said.
