Karan said, "Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol are romance icons. They represent love in our movies. They have created love. Shah Rukh is love. Infact, Shah Rukh is not a superstar. He is an emotion and love. The way he sings a love song and portrays a love scene; when he says aur paas, you want to go paas!."

He also stated that there can never be another pairing like them as they make you believe in what is happening on the screen. "When he says main nahin aaunga, you believe him. When he says, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai tum nahi samjhogi even though we do not know what he means, we still go with the flow because Shah Rukh Khan is Shah Rukh Khan, and there will never be another Shah Rukh Khan. Similarly, there will be no other pairing like Shah Rukh-Kajol."
