Khan worked in five different films in 1998, his first release being the romantic comedy film "Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya" opposite Kajol, one of the biggest commercial successes of that year. This was followed by the moderately successful drama "Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai" where Khan played a young man who has to take a child who claims to be his son, under his custody. Khan's performance in the film earned favourable critical review. He also had an extended cameo in Karan Johar's directorial debut, "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai", for which he earned a second Filmfare Award under the Best Supporting Actor category.
