Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Kajol's first lead role at 17, launching one of Bollywood's most enduring careers. She reportedly signed without telling her mother Tanuja—who plays her on-screen mother.
Bekhudi exemplifies the 90s 'stalker-hero' trope that dominated until 2010s audience pushback. Rohit's behavior was marketed as 'passionate'—modern viewers often read it as unhinged.
