K3G iconic dialogue
The film was a hit and most of its dialogues became fan favourites. One of them was a conversation between Kajol and Farida Jalal’s characters, Anjali and Sayeeda Begum (Daijaan), in which they mimicked how the British talk. In a scene, Anjali scolds her son and asks him not to become like the British.
She and Daijaan then start mimicking, “Oh, hello, Mrs Sprightley! Oh, hello, Sugar! Would you like some tea? Yes! With a drop of lemon in it. Oh! And something to go with it? Some cookies, please. Cookiesssss, Lovelyyyyyy! CHADDO (drop it)!”
Theatre audience repeats the dialogue
The theatre audience repeated the dialogues in unison and laughed when the scene ended. Sanjana shared the clip with the caption, “Lovelyyyyyyyyy! Forever iconic @karanjohar @kajol @dharmamovies #k3g #kabhikhushikabhigham.” The words on the video read, “To hear all the theatre say the whole dialogue, word by word. Insane. Iconic. Inimitable (pinched fingers emoji).”
Internet reacts to gesture
Reacting to the clip, a person said, “I am glad I witnessed it! The claps at Vande Mataram gave me goosebumps. It was a surreal experience!” A fan wrote, “Only theatre experience I want.” A comment read, “So this is what people mean when they say ‘the theatre experience’. This has its own fan following.” An Instagram user commented, “Thank you for capturing this moment, in total awe of it!”
