His journey in cinema is marked by a portfolio of films that have not only entertained audiences but have also been pivotal in shaping modern Indian cinema.

Recently, Karan Johar took a moment to reflect on his illustrious career by sharing an unseen monochrome photo from the sets of 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna.' The photo, capturing a candid moment, features Johar alongside Bollywood icons Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji, dressed in winter attire, engaging in what appears to be an intense discussion.

He wrote, "Being a bystander to such incredible talent has been my hugest learning curve.... I look back with indelible memories and gratitude. Not a single day I haven’t thanked the universe, Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan for convincing me that I could be a storyteller and attempt to direct my childhood dreams on celluloid ..."
Karan's relationship with Shah Rukh Khan, in particular, is noteworthy. He credits Khan, along with producer Aditya Chopra, as critical pillars in his career. Both have been instrumental in his growth as a director and a storyteller. In his heartfelt acknowledgment, Johar expressed profound gratitude towards Khan and Chopra for their unwavering support and for seeing potential in him that he hadn’t seen in himself.
