The film, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol has been a staple of Johar's impressive portfolio. Johar expressed his enduring connection to a hospital scene featuring the lead actors.

He wrote, “I have been directing movies for 26 years now… I look back at my directorial career with a multitude of emotions and a truckload of indelible memories… I reflect on my failings … those happy accidents that made magical moments … those on-the-spot decisions that hit the bull's eye or even got lost in translation … but this particular scene and the way it was so beautifully performed by @iamsrk and @kajol will remain my favourite directed scene and moment of my career.”

The scene in question captures a powerful moment where Shah Rukh Khan’s character, Rizvan Khan, explains his medical condition to his wife, Mandira Rathod Khan.

One fan shared their personal journey, saying, “This has to be one of SRK and Kajol’s best movies to date. I was a kid when this was released and I honestly couldn’t resonate with it, but today, as a 32-year-old woman living in this society, I can feel this movie so deeply.”

Another fan praised Johar’s directorial skills, commenting, “Mr. Johar, you are one of the best directors who created memories for us and made movies that are unforgettable for us SRK and Kajol fans. Among those masterpieces is 'My Name Is Khan', and of course, Shah Rukh Khan's wonderful performance as a special character. Thank you for it.”

Some fans took the opportunity to share their own favourite scenes from the film, with one remarking on a particularly emotional moment: “And the scene where he asks ‘Main wapis kab aau Mandira’ Please direct movies more often.”
