Karan Johar- An All Rounder in Entertainment Industry

By Rohini Nadia


Karan Johar, in his childhood was always fascinated by the movies created by Raj Kapoor, Sooraj Barjatya and Yash Chopra. Later as an adult, he took inspiration from all their movies and was able to churn his movies so well that they could be a good competition. As a kid he saw his father making movies and was inspired to direct and produce his own movies.

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai proved a turning point in the careers of its lead actors - Shahrukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukherjee. Karan Johar became a worshipped filmmaker overnight. It won major awards in all categories including the Best Film Award at the 44th Annual Filmfare Awards, Lux Zee Cine Awards, Sansui Viewers' Choice, Aashirwad Awards, Bollywood Movie Awards and the National Film Awards.

Some of the sources, say that Karan was a believer of numerology and so most of his movies were titled with the 'K' initials. He was told that if he would title his movie with the 'k' initial, then it would be a great hit. Karan changed this perception of the mass with his other movies like which never ran with a 'K' title but went on to become box office hits. Most of his movies are well balanced and well incorporated with good music, great star cast and a well written script that touches every heart young and old alike.

His talk show, Koffee with Karan, also became a huge success due to its endearing and easy nature that allowed fans to know their favorite stars closely. His latest venture, Student of the Year, is a very young and frothy film that portrays the new age campus life and the spirit of competition in the youth. It serves as the launch pad for three new actors - Sidharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt.

Karan also ensures that his actors feel absolutely comfortable on the sets of his film or his much coveted chat show which garnered wide acclaims from industry and masses equally.He is a very good TV host as well, as knows rightly how to make his guests comfortable on his show.

The audiences extremely enjoy the show as they get to know their favorite stars more closely. It has also been acknowledged as the first English television chat show in India that has acquired huge television ratings. Karan is a complete entertainer and hope he continues to do so forever.
