Karan Johar: Father's witty 'Burberry' jab revealed

Filmmaker Karan Johar honored his late father, Yash Johar, on his birth anniversary with a deeply personal reflection. He shared an anecdote from the release of 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,' recalling his father's humorous Punjabi wordplay on the brand Burberry, remarking it was 'Bahut buri hai' (very bad). Johar also cherished his father's role as his biggest supporter, who believed in his potential as an actor and called him handsome, despite Karan's own insecurities about his appearance.

His father's advice extended to encouraging him to act and even take up horse riding, a notion his mother later grounded with practical advice. In his final days, Yash Johar's parting words to Karan were a plea to remain kind and to care for his mother, a promise Karan tearfully made. This profound bond and the values instilled by his father continue to shape Karan Johar's life, acknowledging that losing a parent brings a unique sense of spiritual guidance.
