The video clip has gone viral on Reddit with fans giving interesting reactions in comments.

In the old video clip from Koffee With Karan, now viral on Reddit, Karan Johar started this hilarious conversation and said, "I was talking to Deepika at your place. We were chatting about Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, my first film. She said, Yeah, I loved it. I saw it when I was 11 years old. I nearly died. That means she was about eight when she saw Dilwale, Shah Rukh."

Shah Rukh said, "Am I child-molesting in this film? Someone, please explain it to me. I think the first realization that I am doing a few silly things at my age came when I did my first scene with her. I am professing my love to her in a secret way because I can't do it openly. There's this line when she turns away from me. Just before that, we were discussing how we would do the scene. I gave her a reference. I am behind her and I am saying, You'll find love in life, only if you reach out for it. I started feeling jhoota (cheat). I started feeling, may I say the word, little stalker uncle, little kamina. Kya ye choti si bacchi ke liye aise piche piche jaa raha hu. (Like what am I doing, wooing this kid)."
