It's finally happened. After eight long years, director Karan Johar has been reunited with his favourite heroine, Kajol. The reunion took place on the sets of My Name Is Khan in Los Angeles, where the film is being shot.

In fact, it's been just as long for Shah Rukh Khan as well. The two last worked together for Karan's Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham. Of course, one is not counting her appearance in the title song of Om Shanti Om along with other Bollywood beauties, and in the Rab Ne Bana De Jodi

song, opposite King Khan. So yes, SRK and Kajol have come together in these two song sequences for a few seconds, but just that. They have not done any film together in the longest time and have been missed sorely by their fans, which includes Karan. In fact, the director was absolutely sure that he wanted to recreate the SRK-Kajol magic in his

latest film and went all out to persuade the actress to do the film. According to reports, Karan waited for quite a while for Kajol to get back to him. He is believed to have chosen Kareena Kapoor as a backup, just in case, Kajol turned down his offer. But it was Kareena's loss as Kajol agreed to create the magic of Dilwale with SRK. In fact, the actress joined the unit of My Name Is Khan in LA earlier this week for the shoot. Needless to say, Karan Johar is an ecstatic man.
