Summary
- Saroj Khan demanded red cloth from Goregaon on DDLJ sets.
- Karan Johar was 'pushed' and 'scared for his life' by the choreographer.

Karan Johar recently shared a vivid memory from the 1995 film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, recalling choreographer Saroj Khan's intense reaction to a crisis.
During a crucial moment, a last-minute demand for a red cloth arose. Karan Johar, then assisting the film's team, attempted to improvise when suitable fabric was scarce.
However, Saroj Khan's assistant informed her of the situation. Upon arriving, she became enraged, physically pushing Karan Johar and insisting he procure the red cloth from Goregaon immediately, threatening to halt the shoot.
Karan Johar vividly remembered the panic, stating he was 'scared for my life' and felt 'traumatised' by Saroj Khan's fury. He humorously recalled running through Goregaon streets shouting for the red cloth.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, premiered in 1995 and remains a landmark in Hindi cinema.
