When Shah Rukh Khan went to college in Main Hoon Na, students laughed at him mercilessly, Zayed Khan even calling him 'uncle'.

We wonder why the same lines weren't applied to Shah Rukh in the first half of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, where he was definitely not fitting in as a college student.

But Karan Johar's debut wasn't about reality, and its college was straight out of Archie comics, as were the miniskirts and designer clothes.

And when it comes to SRK, audiences don't mind the unimaginable. The film was a colossal hit.
