Shah Rukh Khan: KANK One of My Favourite Films

Mumbai: As Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna turned nine on August 11, its lead actor Shah Rukh Khan thanked his co-stars Amitabh Bachchan, Rani Mukerji and other team members for giving him one of his 'favourite films'.

The romantic-drama that released in 2006 also featured Abhishek Bachchan, Preity Zinta and Kirron Kher. It was directed and produced by Karan Johar.

Set in New York City, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (KANK) explored the themes of adultery and extramarital affairs. The film is considered one of Karan Johar's 'less successful' films but it seems that both SRK and the film's director Karan Johar hold the film close to their heart.

SRK, 49, tweeted:

#KANK spoke about incorrect reasons to be married...love may not be a prerequisite for marriage..but the lack of it always has repercussions
