Summary
- Karan Johar hugged Yami Gautam at a Prime Video event in Mumbai.
- Netizens speculated on past tension between Johar and Gautam.
- Gautam's film 'Dhurandhar' succeeded, directed by her husband.
Karan Johar and Yami Gautam exchanged a warm hug on stage at a recent Prime Video slate 2026 event in Mumbai. This public display occurred as they unveiled the poster for Gautam's upcoming horror-comedy, 'Nayyi Navelli'. The moment garnered significant attention due to prior speculation about a rift between the two.
Reports of tension surfaced previously, particularly after Johar's absence from the screening of 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge,' a film helmed by Gautam's husband, Aditya Dhar. However, following the movie's success, Johar has publicly praised Dhar's work on social media, suggesting a potential easing of relations.
The viral clip of their embrace ignited discussions online. Some netizens recalled an old video from 'India's Got Talent' where Johar, along with co-judges, appeared to overlook Gautam. This resurfaced clip had previously caused a stir, contrasting with Johar's later praise for Gautam's performance in 'Haq'.
Yami Gautam's next projects include the horror-comedy 'Nayyi Navelli' and a cameo in 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge'. Karan Johar is slated to direct again in late 2026, following the 2023 success of 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani'.
