But there was something about Josh that continues to leave fans confused about them playing twins. And SRK also reiterated the same feelings. In one throwback video we got hold of, Shah Rukh Khan is speaking about his and Aishwarya’s casting as siblings in Josh.

The video is from an award ceremony where both Shah Rukh and Aishwarya Rai are on stage. Taking a jibe at their own film Josh, SRK said, “I had the most beautiful woman in this world, playing my sister, that too twin. People also told me both of us look alike. And I’m still living under this impression that if I played her twin brother, I definitely resemble her, even if a tiny bit.”
