Kajol recreated the iconic 'palat' scene from 'DDLJ'
In the announcement clip, Kajol faced her back to the camera while a voiceover said "palat (turn),"—reminiscent of Shah Rukh Khan's dialogue from DDLJ. She then turned around, saying, "Haan haan mein he hun. Aur kaun hoga? Mein aa rahi hun apna show leke Disney+ Hotstar mein (Yes it is me. Who else would it be? I'm coming with my show on Disney+ Hotstar)."
