Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham centred on a wealthy Indian family that is torn apart when the patriarch disowns his adopted son for marrying a woman from a lower socio-economic background, triggering years of separation before an eventual reconciliation. Released in 2001, the film was the most expensive Indian film of its time and went on to become one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever.
Over the years, it has achieved cult status, with Shah Rukh's character emerging as an enduring pop-culture icon.
Speaking of Meryl Streep, the legendary actress' career spans over five decades and boasts an extraordinary list of honours, including three Academy Awards, two BAFTAs, eight Golden Globe Awards, four Emmy Awards and two Screen Actors Guild Awards, along with nominations for seven Grammy Awards and a Tony Award.
