From having a 'Puja Scene' to dancing in 'sheer sarees' to 'rain dances', the coming of the meme culture has made these details iconic in every manner. After years of observation, it can be valid to say that Karan Johar has an obsession with 'bench scenes' attached with a beautiful monologue that turns the audience emotional. Here's proof.

Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham

Starting with one of the most emotional scenes of 'Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham' was when Shah Rukh Khan says goodbye to his young brother leaving the Raichand mansion, his goodbye scene made the theater call out for tissue roles. And years after a grown-up Hrithik Roshan aka Shah Rukh Khan's brother confess their feelings and emotions reuniting on that same bench.

Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna

When Shah Rukh Khan met Rani Mukerji for the first time in the film. Carrying the attire of a runaway bride, his monologue to face your fears starts and ends with both actors sitting on a bench at a park.

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

In this beautiful romantic comedy, Kajol tries to copy Rani Mukerji in the film and makes a mockery of herself. She runs and can be seen crying and sitting on a bench stranded amongst lush green valleys. She is then joined by Rani Mukerji and Shah Rukh Khan, where their pep talk motivates her to be confident within herself.

In another scene from the film when Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan were seen reuniting at the summer camp valley, the two confront each other and talk about their past sitting on a bench.

Another Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan starrer witness the iconic bench scene with Kajol's character Meera apologizing and explaining her emotions as a single mother in a foreign land to Shah Rukh Khan's pure character in the film with balloons and a ring in his hand.
