From Kareena Kapoor Khan to Shweta Bachchan Nanda; Alia Bhatt to Gauri Khan; mother Hiroo to daughter Roohi, women are central to KARAN JOHAR’s life. But what makes him such a ladies’ man? Vogue gets his closest friend, KAAJAL ANAND, to tell us about the Karan she knows
When I got a call from Vogue to write a piece, I have to say it took me by surprise. Anyone who has met me would know writing and I make quite the unholy alliance! And then, I was asked to make the piece about Karan Johar, which made the task even harder. How do you encapsulate someone like him in 400 words?
I remember when actor Hugh Jackman came to India for a session with Karan. He told us that during the course of preparing for his visit he decided to do some research. He thought Karan Johar was just another common name, as Google showed up links for a director, producer, talk show host, talent show judge, designer and author. He wasn’t sure which one he would be interacting with!
