‘Kaam Pe Dhyan Do’: American Crew Member Asks SRK As He Makes Roti On ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ Sets

On November 28, Karan Johar’s Kal Ho Naa Ho starring Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta and Saif Ali Khan completed 18 years of its release. The cult rom com is remembered even today for its chartbuster soundtrack, melodrama, performances of its cast particularly SRK’s and his chemistry with Saif Ali Khan.

As the film celebrated its 18th anniversary, a Twitter user posted a behind the scenes throwback video featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Jaya Bachchan and late Reema Lagoo. In the film, while Jaya Bachchan played Preity Zinta’s character Naina’s mother, Reema Lagoo played SRK’s character Aman’s mother.

The video clip that has gone viral is from the time the cast shot for the Baar Baar Haan song parody at a restaurant set. In the clip, SRK can be seen trying his hands at making rotis while Reema Lagoo and Jaya Bachchan help him out.

Another hilarious aspect of the clip is an American crew member who playfully asks Shah Rukh Khan to focus on his work. He says in Hindi, “Kaam Pe Dhyaan Do”. Soon after, SRK and Jaya Bachchan can be seen giggling at the crew member’s Hindi diction.

Watch the throwback video below:
