Karan Johar – “Shah Rukh Khan is like my family!”

While the world seems to think that actor Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar are at loggerheads. The filmmaker says otherwise however, claiming that nothing indeed has gone sour between him and his lucky-charm-friend, Shah Rukh Khan! The actor and the filmmaker have joined hands several times before to roll out memorable films that include Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001), Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006) and My Name Is Khan (2010). Karan’s most recent directorial venture, Student of the Year, was produced jointly by Dharma Productions and Shah Rukh Khan’s banner, Red Chillies Entertainment.

When asked about his rumored tiff with Shah Rukh Khan, Karan said, “He (SRK) is like my family…I think that answers all questions.” The filmmaker, known to keep his private life away from prying eye, further went on to add, “I think a lot has been said and cleared. I am not going to talk about my personal life.” Recently, after a controversy boiled up around Shah Rukh Khan, Karan tweeted to show his support for the actor, saying, “Ridiculous misinterpretation of @iamsrk`s` words…an extremely well written piece being subjected to political agenda…a shame!!!!(sic)”.

Well, rumors are here to stay and there is indeed no beating them. The Dharma Productions chief meanwhile has learned to cope with these and simply ignore all that’s untrue, without so much of a cringe! Up ahead, Karan Johar will release a bunch of productions including Hasee Toh Phasee, Ungli and Bombay Talkies amongst others.
