One user pointed out that it is “Waddesdon Manor in Aylesbury, UK. The place looks magnificent from aerial shots, not so much when you are on the ground. The Raichand mansion for Bollywood.”

However, some Bollywood fans came to the defence of the ace filmmaker. A user tweeted, “We had so much fun watching the movie that we didn’t question his logistics and the grandness of the movie, Feel good movies make you forget that.”

Appalled at how Karan Johar also managed to fool the people who live in Delhi, a Twitter user wrote – “its truly shameful that I believed this even after spending all my life in delhi (sic).”
‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’, with its star-studded cast featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, and Kareena Kapoor Khan, is not just a movie, but an emotion for many Bollywood fans.
