In one of his recent interviews Karan also said: I am blessed to have SRK-Kajol in my film. I don't know what it is about them. It's just magic. They build an inexplicable energy on screen. They instinctively understand each other's acting. When I direct a scene with Shah Rukh and Kajol, I know I'm doing my best work. These two characters in My Name Is Khan had to be Shah Rukh and Kajol.
