It’s been 12 years since the release of the film ‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna’, a romantic drama and one of the highest grossing films of 2006.
In spite of its commercial success and critical praise outside India, the film received polarised responses from the audience and critics at home for exploring themes of extra-marital affair and adultery.
On Saturday, the film’s director Karan Johar took to Twitter to express his view on how the film is treated today.
