There is a scene where I come back and tell Rani (Mukerji) that my father has passed away. And I give her a photograph and I take out this photograph and tell her that he wanted you to have it... I saw it and it was my father's photograph. After Karan said ‘cut' I went to the side and I just broke down... I also realised, that was the first time I told somebody that you know, I think I'm in love with Aishwarya.'
