Shreya Ghoshal steps into Kajol’s role, recreates Shah Rukh Khan's 'K3G' scene with Farida Jalal on 'Indian Idol'

'K3G,' aka 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham,' is surely the most loved drama movie in Indian cinema, as it blends all the elements of romance, comedy, catchy songs, and performances from stars Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, and Kareena Kapoor, with Rani Mukerji in a guest appearance. Now an interesting twist is happening in the upcoming episode of Indian Idol. The show will feature a special moment as veteran actor Farida Jalal and celebrated singer Shreya Ghoshal come together to recreate a memorable scene.

Shreya Ghoshal steps into Kajol’s shoes

In the recently released promo, Shreya Ghoshal surprises viewers by stepping into the character originally played by Kajol. She is seen delivering the famous line with playful charm: "Oh, hello, Mrs. Sprightly, would you like some tea?"

Farida Jalal brings back Daijaan’s warmth

Matching Shreya’s energy, Farida Jalal reprises her beloved presence from the film. Known for playing the affectionate Daijaan, she responds with her signature warmth and wit. She says, "Oh, hello, sugar... yes, with a drop of lemon."

A tribute to a timeless Bollywood classic

Directed by Karan Johar and produced by Yash Johar, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham remains one of Bollywood’s most iconic family dramas. Even decades after its release, the film continues to connect with audiences. Its memorable scenes, dialogues, and performances have ensured its place in Bollywood history. Farida Jalal’s portrayal of Daijaan remains one of the most cherished aspects of the film. Even after more than two decades, her performance continues to be remembered fondly by fans. She also received praise for her role as Qudsia Begum in 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar.'

About her performance in Heeramandi, our exclusive ETimes review noted: "Farida Jalal brings warmth as the endearing Begum Qudsia, and Jayati Bhatia impresses as Mallikajaan's loyal servant. Heeramandi, overall, might feel like a long watch, but the cinematic experience will linger on long after its conclusion. And like every Bhansali project, this one, too, throbs with passion and creativity, leaving you mesmerized by the sights and sounds."

The veteran actress was recently seen in The Great Shamsuddin Family and Love in Vietnam.
