1 min read
In a rare vulnerable moment, Bollywood’s showman Karan Johar opened up about yearning for the pre-social media era. His latest social media story, laced with fondness, contrasts the organic joys of yesteryears with today’s digital deluge.
Johar shared, ‘I fondly remember pre-social media times… posting was mailing letters, scrolling through pages of books, followers for righteous paths or spiritual guides, likes as sincere applause, gram just a weight unit, free of pressure. What days those were.’
A titan in Indian cinema, Johar has directed and produced films that resonate across generations. Inheriting Dharma Productions from visionary Yash Johar, he elevated it with blockbusters starting from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, through Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, My Name Is Khan, to Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
Yash Johar’s productions like Duplicate, Agneepath, Dostana, and Kal Ho Naa Ho embodied cinematic excellence. Karan’s tryst with films began as assistant director on the eternal Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, complete with a small acting role.
His talk show Coffee With Karan, a fixture for almost two decades, has redefined celebrity interviews with wit and revelations. As a doting dad to twins Yash and Roohi, Johar embodies multifaceted success.
This nostalgic outburst highlights a broader sentiment: in our scroll-addicted lives, rediscovering the charm of unplugged moments could restore balance and authenticity.
