Filmmaker Karan Johar shares a truly heartwarming bond with his friends, YRF’s Aditya Chopra and superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ director has often expressed his gratitude towards them, and in a recent interview, he called them his ‘two pillars’. Here’s what Karan Johar had to say…

While speaking at the All India Management Association’s ninth National Leadership Conclave, Karan Johar made a heartfelt confession about Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan and said meeting them was a part of his destiny. “Two pillars, two reasons why I sit here today. They acknowledged something about me that I didn’t see in myself. I will always be grateful to them for that. The rest was a lot of just passion… I may have been as sincere as I was. But what happens when you don’t have people who are in powerful positions like that?” Karan Johar revealed. “My first step was because two people who were not related to me by blood or family believed in me strongly. It has a lot to do with destiny, but nothing happens without hard work,” the ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ director added.

It’s so beautiful to see Karan Johar expressing gratitude to his friends, who have stood by him through thick and thin. I can totally understand his emotions, as we always remember those people who believe in us when we need some motivation in life. May their bond continue to stay this strong!
