 The two pivotal lovers in both films  are named Rahul and Anjali Sharma and are both played by the same  actors. The first half of the film is told mainly in flashback  structure ending in a character vowing to bring other characters  together; Kuch Kuch Hota Hai also used this narrative. During a  playful argument between Rahul and Anjali, Anjali snaps I dont  like jokes with Rahul replying I dont like you in a mock voice.  This references verbatim the first basketball scene from Kuch Kuch  Hota Hai. Contains part of the melody from Kuch Kuch Hota Hais  title song on both the opening logo and during the song "Suraj Hua  Maddham".
