[@khushbubali9704]

I just love listening to Karan Johar. There are some people in this world that when they talk you just want to just listen to them peacefully, Karan Johar is one of them. The way he talks and tell stories could be easily seen in his movies. Loved it ❤❤

[@akhilchanana8824]

So true same here love interviews of Karan Johar 💃

[@Darkquark-u5]

I like it a lot, I’d want him as a bestie 😂

[@khushbubali9704]

​@@Darkquark-u5trueee😁

[@sarupav3095]

So true

[@nishan3537]

I thought I’m the only one think like this ,I have one year old so I can’t watch tv or phone .. in his nap time all do is listen to karan’s interviews I know it sounds weird but It makes me happy

[@sashadongre]

His videos are oddly therapeutic, his honesty, his self awareness, self criticism .. I love him more as person than a movie maker

[@khokonmimikhan2658]

His personality got shattered, when he worked or started to do favour for nepotism.

[@siddhantrajmehta]

I feel like hugging Karan, for being strong throughout despite being named and blamed for the way he is. What matters is that he’s still creating magic on screen. I for once was one of the haters, but maybe I’ve evolved as a man myself.

[@pestisid]

ufff! What a comment ❤

[@Esther-ps3vx]

I am so glad that you are no longer a hater. I am also glad that you admitted it. Says a lot about you.

[@aayushiraghuwanshi4038]

The fact that he addresses his mistakes as a filmmaker and brought a change through rrkpk makes me respect him even more ❤❤

[@priyankasharma-rs2oq]

I always say it that Karan Johar is every interviewer’s delight. He just speaks his heart out.

[@ZohalAsaal]

The way the host let him talk and asked him the right questions love it

[@at-fj4tn]

Karan is so articulate in his words. And it is nice to know that behind his snobbish and class loving persona lies a sweet, vulnerable guy with a great perspective about human relations who has seen and suffered much. No wonder he makes great movies about relationships. And no one can deny his quality of self awareness and acceptance. This being his best quality....

[@tushitamukherjee]

If Karan is reading this message I would like to tell him this - "You are brave to accept your flaws and share your realisations on gender politics and how even you didn't know better. You have really grown and become a wise, intelligent and gorgeous human being. Your understanding of parenting and the fact that you are raising both your kids with equal treatment and that you have made movies like Bombay Talkies and that your production house has made movies like Kapoor and Sons and that you made this fulfilling movie Rocky and Rani ki Prem Kahani, speak volumes about your deeper understanding of gender and is a testament of your immense growth as a human being. After watching this interview I can say that finally you are home. Finally you are speaking your truest words with a lot of confidence. I am really happy to be able to witness this growth in you. Lots of love." Thanks Nikhil for this amazing interview with someone who I have grown up with..I have followed his work and his interviews in the newspapers, on tv and now on social media forever. This one was amazing.

Very beautiful comment!!!! And helpful 🤗

[@rinkysmile]

Beautiful! Karan hope you are reading this !

[@saritagoyal7230]

After listening to him I can now understand why he is such a successful director producer. Candid, honest, forthright with a soft heart.

[@radhikanagu3541]

The host is so warm with such a soft and compassionate look. Really enjoy watching the show!

[@gauripuranik8145]

Karan Johar was academically topper in his school and college - he is extremely talented running business - well spoken person - love Nikhil calm energy as a host ❤

[@ritambhra1000]

These days Karan is giving a lot of interviews.... But this one seems to be the most heartfelt. Loved it ❤❤❤

[@past_life_project]

23 minutes in, I am so engaged, moved, entertained - what an amazing and sincere storyteller Karan is - just wow

[@abhisheknishad5443]

Karan Johar's magnetic personality makes it an absolute delight to listen to him. He exudes honesty, coolness, and humor, and his profound love for Hindi cinema is truly remarkable. You’re an inspiration karan you always have been not only to me but to many. Thank you, Karan, for simply being yourself.

[@travelwithsonjaa2598]

It’s a treat to just keep listening to karan when he is being interviewed. We are thankful to you for not going any other path other than filmmaking, you have entertained and given us such treasures over the years especially the last one Rocky and Rani which we are still not over yet. I completely relate to karan’s feelings what he went through as child or school going lad as my close friend has been subjected to the same treatment by other school boys but now he has grown up to be the most smartest, intelligent and sensitive human being just like Karan Johar.

[@aminderminhas]

The fact that he admits his mistakes and what he learnt from them and how he grew from them with such sincerity and genuineness, makes this episode so much more special! I love watching karan talk.. he is very wise and evolved! And I totally believe why he won that inter school contest with his Essay as he is such a good story teller!! ❤❤

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Omg this is going to be such a fun episode! Hate him or love him, he’ll have you laughing and engaged in what he says.

[@TheTwara]

Why hate him?

[@PokhrajRoy.]

@@TheTwara It’s just a figure of speech. I’m not telling people to hate him.

[@Maddy-kb2co]

Agreed....such a talented man irrespective of whether people liked him or not

[@ihulk9451]

sup pokhraj how are you

[@dharmeshradiya5914]

Till date I liked Karan's work but now after this Interview I will immensely respect him as a Human.... I have a small defect in my leg while walking...& I always think it's a God's gift to me but in my School boys use to call me Shakuni Mama from Mahabharat also I was kicked out of a school play & my teacher told If I fall on the stage while performing his play would fail.... Bit I overcomed it....

[@anjiii9530]

His personality is just out of this world. In my opinion he is a full package. Honest, witty, talented, hard working and many more qualities.

[@Onelove-ug3to]

He's so easy on the ears, its like listening to a friend ❤️

[@mismibasu3290]

He is really a great storyteller, thats why his films whether good or bad are so engaging

[@ridhikataria3634]

I just love listening to him YOU CANT HATE THIS GUY MAN 😭😭

[@mitthimehta3041]

i can hear him talk non stop for hours and hours.❤

[@pearlp3007]

The way he talks about his childhood good or bad is heartwarming. And through his stories imparting inclusivity and wisdom is great.

[@ishakhanijo]

This is the best KJo interview ever. I can totally relate to his life struggles.

[@drvren030]

Hate him or like him, you can't deny this guy carved his own empire within Bollywood, you could say. my relative, so he ran away from his family and went to Mumbai back in the 70s cause he wanted a new life. He had barely any money, and through making friends somehow managed by staying over at their places and sleeping on the floor and stuff. He hustled really hard, and after learning some skills managed to get a job as a local manager in a small company there. Mind you, our family is very academic, science-engineering oriented. Fast forward to the 90s, he has finally got his own flat in Mumbai, but still isn't that well off and is in a lot of debt. He would sometimes walk around Bandra imagining a future life sometime as motivation, and one time he happened to come across a young, chubbier Karan Johar with some friend at a tea stall. (this was sometime after the release of DDLJ ) he watched him from a distance and saw how he spoke to his friend and the chaiwala and was amazed at how well he carried his conversation. he went up to him and asked for an autograph then, which Karan gave. that was the first time he saw someone cary themselves in conversation and charisma as well as Karan did. and since then, he's always been a lowkey voucher for Karan. he watches him on KWK, his interviews, and since that day he's now a top-level businessmen who does deals with people in the Middle east, sitting in his house in Powai. anytime you ask him why he likes KJo, he says it's because if you want to learn good networking skills with different people in different environments, there's almost no one better than KJo. he's someone great at making sure everyone feels involved in the conversation and understands social cues. i don't think it was just nepotism that made Karan famous, absolutely not. there were many filmmakers like his father Yash Johar, who were much more rich and successful. but their children didn't become as famous or popular. Karan clearly learned a LOT and had his own experiences from his upbringing and childhood that shaped him into becoming the filmmaker he did.

[@nirmalasub]

Wowwwwwww!!!! Karan Johar is sooooo eloquent, honest and captivating!!!!! Incredible

[@adithsoreng5089]

This conversation was much needed to be addressed. I loved the interview and listening things karan had to share. All love❤

[@VinitaRanjan-o3j]

I just loved the conversation. But very few people will be able to distinguish that this show is about life and koffee with karan is just a fun show. The day we all will learn to distinguish the situations of our lives and act accordingly, then I believe that this world will definitely be a better place to live in

[@hana7333]

Best interview for the guest really opened up which means the host created a comfort level. Kudos! Very well conducted interview 👏

[@deepalisinha9813]

I don't truly understand why this man gets trolled so much, to me Karan is humorous, effluent, honest and most of all he is genuinely REAL in the fake world.i love him for just being him .hugs to this lovable yet respectable man !

[@farahyeasmin6230]

Because of his politics to new comers

[@deepalisinha9813]

@@farahyeasmin6230 I kind of agree with u ,still I feel he is trolled unnecessarily too much for his personal life ,family as well whi h is not right .

[@yoginsofindia9484]

Kjo is cool n one of the most gifted filmmaker. His love for parents wins my heart. Thank you. Be blessed

[@satyamkapoor2454]

2 days before Koffee with Karan, NICE! I am a Gemini too, the duality between extroverted expressions self and introverted emotions is real... almost at the end now, would be waiting for season 2 from next month...

[@englishteacher3253]

The person who celebrates their brokenness and flaunts their flaws often possesses a higher level of intelligence compared to the so-called intelligent people in society. I have never allowed the world to define 'greatness' for me in any sense of the word because the world is unintelligent to understand that one's existence is primarily determined by genetics, parenting, and social conditioning-essentially, what is called 'predestination.' I am a huge admirer of Karan Johar, and the movie 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' proved early in his career that he is a gem. The film is a classic example of first-time real love. While everything eventually wears off its novelty and ceases to be completely enjoyable, the song 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' is probably the only song I don't think I will ever find boring. It brings up so many beautiful memories of my childhood in the 90s. Sending love to Karan Johar from Pakistan! ♥♥♥

[@Sk68235]

What a delight listening to Karan, he has such a fabulous personality. He is an amazing speaker and entertainer. His friends must feel so lucky to have him in their lives.

[@JaahnaviS]

I'm always impressed how he remembers the names and exact dates from the events that happened in his life or the stories he tells. Like I just saw an interview of his where he mentions the name of some theater staff during a screening of KKHH from 25 years back. Tells how he pays attention to the people around and why he's a people's person.

[@smpost1540]

The wise man. So educative to watch and listen him. The way he knows with clarity -his deep, progressive thoughts 🫶🫶🫶His talent his humor all spectacular 🫶

[@Thatclassyexplorer]

Dear Karan and the interviewer and makers of this show, THANK YOU SO MUCH❤ THIS IS SO RELATABLE. also growing up watching KJo movies, has such an impact that his films and him feel very closed to my heart. Loved listening to him, his traumas feel so so relatable. Making me understand about myself better way... Thank you for opening up... Loads of love for that young child Karan Johar and this matured man today.... ❤❤❤

[@atypicalindianyogini]

Omg ! The bakers name to understanding gender equality & then admiting the truth about kuch kuch hota hai & making changes to the modern world. U have come a long way Karan ! Pouring out his heart ❤️ the best interview.

[@shadesofshambhavi]

Okay, I think when Rahul said hum ek bar jeete hai, ek bar marte hai pyar ek bar hota hai... it shows how to thought at that time, when he wasn't aware about his love for Anjali or simply didn't see anything beyond Tina's demise.

[@mehrtarar4931]

What a fabulous conversation--a very good interviewer and the one Karan Johar. It's a pleasure listening to him

[@usha.ck91]

Probably one of Karan’s best interviews. His journey and his outlook on world. Lots of love and warm hugs to him ❤ Kudos to the interviewer as well, his sensitivity shown in framing the questions 👍🏽

[@anjihere.19]

@10:02, Karan mentions Goriawalla's chocolate cake; that was super delicious. I cannot remember the location but I think at Tardeo/Kemps Corner. But that chocolate one can eat all by oneself :D It is a delight to be audience to Karan Johar's conversations.

[@rabiaamin00]

❤😂 loved the interview....he is.always soooo authentic , he is sooo brave ....I connect with him .....and yes with all his hardships ....he has gratitude and loyalty.....these are priceless gem which he has ... respect for Mr K Johar ❤🙏

[@deeptibanerjee2456]

I absolutely enjoyed listening to this interview. I think there can no one so honest like him. Every word he spoke is so healing . I respect about him the way he tells incidents with all the detailing no filter, again it proves his honesty. Respect you for that karan so so much. ❤

[@inaaya_74]

Karan is such a pleasure to listen to.❤

[@arfaa584]

Yup. I always watch his interviews. ❤

[@manasvipatel530]

Every interview of Karan Johar will make you realize what a phenomenal storyteller he is, which is why he is one of the most celebrated filmmakers of India today.

[@dia606]

His candour is his most winning trait. You can see that this man gathers people around him with ease through his expressive and warm nature, and is deeply loyal to that community. I wish he understood his power in the industry as well as he does the cultural zeitgeist, or his own experiences of alienation. Great conversation and especially his really mature views on parenting

[@vaidehiwadkar7372]

Such a decent and fun interview ❤ Watching this show for the 1st time for Karan Johar It's always nice to watch his interviews but i love the way they conducted this interview...it was very free flowing... simple questions which lead to deep conversations ❤🤌 I think now I am gonna watch all the other episodes which I have missed...you guys are doing great 👏👏

[@syedameen5219]

He has good communication skills and i watch all his interviews and movies

[@sourabh2842]

Despite being hated for becoming himself, he's truly a wonderful man. Huge respect to you Karan.✊

[@spill_the_beans.]

I honestly rever this man for his eloquence, candidness, combating childhood insecurities and sustaining while dealing with the loss of the person whom You loved the most, but still I'm in the utter state of bewilderment regarding his NOT-SO-EMPATHETIC and considerate behaviour towards others' turbulences and history. Why does he mock people for their looks and fashion choices when he's still dealing with those body image issues.😐

[@SMon-wh6om]

Because he's a hypocrite

[@Darkquark-u5]

This is true

[@aabbaskhan]

Never thought that karan johar's life moments will evoke so strong emotions that i will cry

[@shabnamhashmi]

Thank you Nikhil . It is an excellent interview. This should be seen by all parents, feminists, activists. I am so happy that I came across this and decided to watch it. its really amazing to watch a brutally honest person and his understanding of gender , sexuality and how it has evolved over years, his own struggles . With these kind of sensitivities and resolve to make future films more gender sensitive - like Rocky and Rani, or portraying homosexuality in a sensitive way - we can hope to make the long struggles shorter. Reach of people like us, who struggle with these issues on the ground, is limited , sensitively made films can help bring about a change faster. We have taken up these issues and many more in residential camps that we organise for youth . We use a lot of films, movement songs, theatre along with academic sessions covering democracy, secularism, caste , gender , identity and a lot more. More films covering these issues would be great . Please convey my regards to Karan Johar, I have no other way of reaching out to him, to appreciate his very meaningful interview.

[@najinidikkovita9382]

when a director narrates a story, it all feels like a film. I hope he makes a movie out of the book 'an unsuitable boy'. much love Karan!

[@namanjain1408]

Karan Sir is a Gem of a person. SOOO articulate, always love to hear him telling about life, movies or generally anything.

[@destinyfindsme]

Thank you for this video. It helped in so much listening to Kjo. If Kjo ever reads this, I would like to thank you for being so honest. It helped me realise that I am not the only one going through social anxiety and body issues. I wish you could be my therapist.

[@dysfunctionallymild]

The SRK anecdotes were lovely. I wish you could have gone a but further on the LGBTQ on-screen representation and asked him why the big production houses (Dharma, YRF, Excel) can't do a medium budget glossy happy urban LGBTQ romance, now that Badhaai Do has already done it in the small town setting, but I understand why you couldn't push it. He did answer in his own way.
