details

• Its long unwieldy title led to the movie being popularly referred to by the acronym "QSQT". This sparked off a fad of Hindi movies with long titles promoted by acronym substitutes: Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) as "DDLJ" & Hum Aapke Hain Koun...! (1994) as "HAHK".
  
  
• When the movie proved a hit, the Mumbai distributors decided to boost its prospects further by introducing a new strategy: buy eight or more tickets of the film and get a poster of Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla absolutely free. The strategy worked and the collections of the film showed a big jump.
  
  
• One of the most innovative ad campaigns in Indian Film history, one of the hoardings of the film had no photographs, just this line: 'Who is Aamir Khan? ...Ask the girl next door.'
  
  

• SPOILER: Two endings were filmed for the movie: one happy, one sad. The elder audience wanted a happy ending, while the younger audiences wanted a sad ending. The director stuck with the sad ending.
