This is a really excellent interview. I don't really know who the interviewer is but she is extremely empathetic and well versed with the content she needs to put out.Maybe she's a bit of a film geek but it serves well for this kind of interview. Whats surprising is that, thought, Karan Johar had so much time to give to a One on One interview!
What an amazing interview. The interviewer has done a great job, revealing a hidden side of Karan's personality. Very well framed interview. Karan comes across as a mature, sensible man, answered questions truthfully. Loved it!
Just came across this randomly... I am not a very big die hard Karan Johar fan.. But this was a really good interview. And a lot of stuff he said really made sense. The thing that he said about a movie like Sharada being made at this point of time and actually being successful without any controversy is so true !!
This was a really great interview. The interviewer asked intelligent questions, and also gave Karan ample time to talk and express himself, which is something Karan Thapar and other interviewers today do not do.
Karen you are a legend....so genuine, down to earth, funny, keep up the brilliant work. All your films including KANK are fantastic. You are happy with your sexuality, that is most important, whatever it is I wish you the best of luck being a fellow Gemini.
Excellent Interview... KaranJo has earned lot of respect due to his truthful talks and honest confessions... he has great overall perspective about life ,India. If he ever thinks to participate for PMShip ,,,i will vote for him definetely...
These interviews are wonderful. It just feels like a conversation between two people that flows easily. It showcases the person behind the big name and really delves into the person compared to other shallow interviews.
I have actually seen this fellow Karan grow up from a podgy, clumsy, awkward crybaby little kid to this big shot, iconic film maker. He was in my school in Bombay, Greenlawns High School on Breach Candy, but was almost 10 years my junior, in fact he was in Kindergarten when I passed out- I.C.S.E. (10th). But he was my kid sister's classmate and used to come home for her birthday party every year and I would go to his place to drop off my sister and pick her up on his birthdays. Years later in the mid 1990s, when as a doctor in the United States I delivered Anupama Chopra's (and Vidhu Vinod Chopra's) baby boy at the St. Joseph Hospital in Pontiac (a Detroit suburb), Michigan, Anu mentioned his name and that's when I realized that this Karan Johar is the same kid Karan!! Although I don't know him personally, my sister and have kept in touch and talk on the phone from time to time... ...and talking of time, it sure does fly, and how.... Jackson, MISSISSIPPI.
Wassalaam. I dont have his number at this point but I will ask my sister in India. You may be able to get his number on his web site. I have been to Karachi in 1993 for my U.S. Medical Exams, loved the street life and street food, felt just like old Bombay. It was very safe back then, no bombs, no terrorists, etc. Was very peaceful. Khuda Hafiz. Jackson, Mississippi.
+perikaveera Its funny that your comment depicts how self obsessed you are. You turned something that was meant to be a comment on an interview into a short introduction of your inadequate and remote connections to some Bollywood artists perhaps for some claim to fame. Nobody wants to know if you live at Breach Candy / Malabar Hill and went to Greenlawns and delivered Anupama Chopras son who gave you a euphoric moment of realizing "that kid was Karan". Geez ! what a pile on ! You need some perspective.
Fantastic interviewer and interview. I was only going to watch 5 minutes but ended up watching the whole thing! It's always fun to tune in to intellectual discussions. I love Johar's description of the self-sufficient Indian film industry and his genuine love for his job. Lots of love, TBIP!
I have not seen a better interview in my life. So well studied interviewer and equally good interviewee. Now going to watch AMitabh's interview and then Vishal bharadwaj's Probably :-) It it amazing, cant wait to see more from u guys. Can you do a similar one probably with Gulzar? Javed Akhtar? Don't know why I feel this platform can take out the best of them, Also can i get her email? Probably I can compliment her a little extensively there? Many Thanks | niranjan
An excellent interview that not only tells the big picture but also the inner thoughts of Karan Johor. Liked his frankness and his self-assessment. The interviewer is a model for other interviewers to learn.
You blokes at TBIP are outstanding; great to see the people behind the movies we watch and have grown to love be absolutely honest about the work they have created throughout their career. The honesty and the nuovo approach of your interviewing style is a breath of fresh air.You guys just earned yourself a new subscriber :)
Thank you for sharing your story. I have read The Unsuitable Boy more than 15 times. I have learned many life lessons. I love your interviews more than your movies. you have the best diction. your choice of words is amazing. you are eloquent. true Gemini. Congratulations! I wish you all the best as you enter life as a father. wish you and your kids healthy, happy and safe life. a long distance hug
Halfway through watching this, and couldn't hold myself back from writing this. This guy spoke fabulous stuff, I connected with everything that he said not just 'cuz I second him o everything with it being a similar thought process(some thoughts being exactly the same), but then it's so genuinely reflected at and wonderful as a thought process itself!
Kabhi alvida na kehna was much much much ahead of it's time. His best work till date superb script,awesome screenplay, lovely direction and great cast. I guess that's the best part of the pairing abhishek and rani together,you think they are perfect for each other but yet the relationship is incomplete which happens in reality. great movie on complexity of emotions. one of my all time fav movie.
LOVE the lady so graceful so much full of poise so pretty so intellectual and lots of love to karan so honest so bold so true and both sync so well together proud to have viewed this .
I'm loving these interviews because of how informative and research the interviewee has put in! Please do more I'd love to see it with an actress and just see their view and just know more about them!
I agree, this is THE best Karan Johar interview I have ever seen. He's always been a role model for me, i learn from the way he expresses himself and his honesty towards everything :) I've also learned that I'm a lot like him. Unfortunately becoming a director in Bollywood is something too far out of my reach. But I aspire to live my life like him, at the least :) thanks TBIP for this wonderful interview!
Karan is very articulate and he is a very clear-headed person. He is a good student of life and I do hope one day he will make a sensible movie a la Guru Dutt. Dr Surender Bhutani Warsaw (Poland)
i was going to write exactly same what Maddy S wrote ......the best interview of karan johar .i love him after this interview .specially what he learned about life ....because i did learn same things .i wish i could be his friend
love u karan .... u have answer to any questions.... u make movies larger than life but i still feel u r so down to earth .... nd i love watching ur movies over and over
I have to add to Karan's remark at 27:34 that there were actually TWO good love stories/rom coms in the 2000s .... Jab We Met (agree with Karan) but don't forget Band Bajaara Baraat :)
The interviewer is just superb and her exuberating confidence makes her all the more beautiful. Also, I think she is closely related to Mahrukh Inayet, another superb journalist, (just a hunch)!!
Loved this interview. But I am sad when Karan says that the KKHH and K3G Karan does not exist anymore... And he also says they are so filmy. Well there is still a very large no of audience who dream of such fantasy worlds which can be made real if the effort is put into it. If you can put the effort and make that world real in your film, why can't the same happen in real life? K3G wasn't too filmy by any means. It was real. Its just that Karan has changed so much that he looks back and says "oh its filmy". But other than that, loved all that he spoke here... Enjoyed listening to it. A lot of it is true. P.s: We had a similar film in Tamil like Sharada, which is "Netrikann" starring Rajinikanth in a dual role.
KJO your just amazing, marvellous to hear you talk so freely in an industry that is known not to speak ones mind... God Bless you Karan in all your endeavor. Make more realistic movies, you have an audience worldwide. I have a true love story of an Indian couple, they have a great family life, it does exist, but it is rare! All the best:)
love all ur interviews i really enjoy watching them :) finally good questions and a journalist who knows how to create an interesting conversation with a celeb. i have a request, could u please do an interview with ranveer singh? :) i would love it.
I think he picked up an idea of My name is khan from the movie Khuda Kay leay..which shares same concept and same story but released two years earlier than MNIK..But i must say MNIK is also a fabulous and meaningful flick and has picked on the stories of real-life problem being suffered by muslim people espically in westren world
it would be good if a lady director would place karan johar on the casting couch several times before she decides he would make a good actor in her movie.
Don't condemn a color or a state of mind. They are very essential for growth. KJo... your mom would love to see you with another being as aspirational as you are this life. Cheers.
I am bit surprised to watch Karan speaking about his "emotional" journey of writer and pulling it off. Dear Karan, a casual talk in beatiful city like Newyork, during dinner with your friends made you to come up with "My Name is Khan". Hasn't attacks on Mumbai city moved to make an epic movie? I think you wanted to sell the idea of "Khan" story in western countries, hence you came up with the title and story behind making the cinema. I am sure you are shrewed business man.
well it was his anger which triggers him to make "my name is khan".. maybe he didn't felt the same about mumbai attacks..Y is it bothers u ..I m sure he genuinely felt like making MNIK
Very cynical man, who asks very stupid questions on his own show, yet sits in judgement of everyone else. This interview sounds like a very jealous man who will never really be a super star or any sort.
i have developed a foot fetish with the lady's foot... they way she has dangled it throughout the interview... Man i am mesmerized - Forgot all what Karan has said !!!! :)
The interviewer is just superb and her exuberating confidence makes her all the more beautiful. Also, I think she is closely related to Mahrukh Inayet, another superb journalist, (just a hunch)!!
This is a really excellent interview.

Whats surprising is that, thought, Karan Johar had so much time to give to a One on One interview!
loved all karan y johar films.
to me kyj more of an affectionate person, an actor and then a filmmaker.
Smooth talker, he does all the criticism that need to be made about him, himself. But an amazing director indeed.
What an amazing interview. The interviewer has done a great job, revealing a hidden side of Karan's personality. Very well framed interview. Karan comes across as a mature, sensible man, answered questions truthfully. Loved it!
Great interview, he seems honest about his own films.
Just came across this randomly... I am not a very big die hard Karan Johar fan.. But this was a really good interview. And a lot of stuff he said really made sense. The thing that he said about a movie like Sharada being made at this point of time and actually being successful without any controversy is so true !!
Bestest interview ever.. This is karan johar the actual person and the interviewer made him just be himself.. Good job lady😊👏
felt like i was eavesdropping on their date..the conversation had a lot of feel & a lot of personal....Amazing interview!
yep
This was a really great interview. The interviewer asked intelligent questions, and also gave Karan ample time to talk and express himself, which is something Karan Thapar and other interviewers today do not do.
What I loved most?? the mesmerizing , awe inspiring view of bandra-worli sea link, only a 20+Cr flat can give you that view. period.
He is a smart, well articulate man. It's best to hear him speak.
Very honest interview from such an original director, always been ahead of the times.
One of the best interviews I've ever seen.
What a gorgeous backdrop for an interview....this is one of the best interviews I have seen. A very interesting and intellectual conversation.
Karen you are a legend....so genuine, down to earth, funny, keep up the brilliant work. All your films including KANK are fantastic. You are happy with your sexuality, that is most important, whatever it is I wish you the best of luck being a fellow Gemini.
Excellent Interview... KaranJo has earned lot of respect due to his truthful talks and honest confessions... he has great overall perspective about life ,India. If he ever thinks to participate for PMShip ,,,i will vote for him definetely...
johar be so happy now
we need such interviewers...far away from gossip and gloss..just intellectual topics
These interviews are wonderful. It just feels like a conversation between two people that flows easily. It showcases the person behind the big name and really delves into the person compared to other shallow interviews.
I LOVEE LOVEEE LOVEEE THIS MAN AND THIS INTERVIEW! karan has done so much to change bollywood for the better.

Karan Johar speaks so well! :D Articulate, smart and extremely engaging. Also kudos to pragya tiwari for those fantastic questions.
Best Karan Johar interview I have seen. The interviewer was SUPERB. Questions were very interesting, not repetitive and very engaging. Great job!
Fantastic interviewer and interview. I was only going to watch 5 minutes but ended up watching the whole thing! It's always fun to tune in to intellectual discussions. I love Johar's description of the self-sufficient Indian film industry and his genuine love for his job. Lots of love, TBIP!

An honest interview from Karan! More likeable side to him...great interview concept too
Great interview! I love this so much.
i love him. he's incredibly talented, smart and sharp.
At the beginning I had no hopes of such an amazing turn out! Food for thought! The interviewer respected his space and opened him up! Sensational job.
Halfway through watching this, and couldn't hold myself back from writing this. This guy spoke fabulous stuff, I connected with everything that he said not just 'cuz I second him o everything with it being a similar thought process(some thoughts being exactly the same), but then it's so genuinely reflected at and wonderful as a thought process itself!
karan i love da way u address yourself ...i wish i could talk da way u do in english.....you just make my day when i hear you talking
Kabhi alvida na kehna was much much much ahead of it's time. His best work till date superb script,awesome screenplay, lovely direction and great cast. I guess that's the best part of the pairing abhishek and rani together,you think they are perfect for each other but yet the relationship is incomplete which happens in reality. great movie on complexity of emotions. one of my all time fav movie.

Great interview by Pragya Tiwari.

Great interview and lovely backdrop of Taj lands-end.
i was going to write exactly same what Maddy S wrote ......the best interview of karan johar .i love him after this interview .specially what he learned about life ....because i did learn same things .i wish i could be his friend
I miss TBIP Tete-a-Tete, please bring it back
love u karan .... u have answer to any questions.... u make movies larger than life but i still feel u r so down to earth .... nd i love watching ur movies over and over

Excellent interview!!
Great show !!
In Short Amazing Interview.....
He clarify everything in a good way.. His opinion audience n his movies
really good interviewer.. nothing like the usual 'set' of qs.
KJO your just amazing, marvellous to hear you talk so freely in an industry that is known not to speak ones mind... God Bless you Karan in all your endeavor. Make more realistic movies, you have an audience worldwide. I have a true love story of an Indian couple, they have a great family life, it does exist, but it is rare! All the best:)
I'm in love with Karan Johar after seeing this.
Anyone notice the AMAZING view out the window?
kjo great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best interview everrrrrrrrr!
love all ur interviews i really enjoy watching them :) finally good questions and a journalist who knows how to create an interesting conversation with a celeb. i have a request, could u please do an interview with ranveer singh? :) i would love it.
love the work you guys are doing at tbip! :)
It was a great show but ma am plllllzzzzzz. Do a show with shahrukh. He's a genius. Will b an honour if u ever interview him
more of srk in movieeeeee
this is an amazing inteview
Amazing interview!!
This is a casual interview setting. chappals' requirement is upto both the interviewer n the interviewee.
I think he picked up an idea of My name is khan from the movie Khuda Kay leay..which shares same concept and same story but released two years earlier than MNIK..But i must say MNIK is also a fabulous and meaningful flick and has picked on the stories of real-life problem being suffered by muslim people espically in westren world
kjo is awesome!! his movies made bollywood kool!!
Karan, I love you!!!
"then you suddenly see one brain dead entertainer making 200 crores!" haha.. so true.. well said KJo.
even i want to know the name..she says it so fast i couldn't make sense
karan always stand a height and interviewer had immense knowledge that is disturbing.
it would be good if a lady director would place karan johar on the casting couch several times before she decides he would make a good actor in her movie.
I think SRK infected Karan with his depression of moods these days. But still Karan is positive and focused.
Interresting!
Don't condemn a color or a state of mind. They are very essential for growth.
KJo... your mom would love to see you with another being as aspirational as you are this life. Cheers.
Which director she mentions at 34:00 ?
These two should get together.
if someone can guarantee I will be around my funeral,
love karan
such poor sound quality!
I am bit surprised to watch Karan speaking about his "emotional" journey of writer and pulling it off.
Dear Karan, a casual talk in beatiful city like Newyork, during dinner with your friends made you to come up with "My Name is Khan". Hasn't attacks on Mumbai city moved to make an epic movie?

well it was his anger which triggers him to make "my name is khan".. maybe he didn't felt the same about mumbai attacks..Y is it bothers u ..I m sure he genuinely felt like making MNIK
rofl! looks more like michidas younger gay brother
And a priviledge
Very cynical man, who asks very stupid questions on his own show, yet sits in judgement of everyone else. This interview sounds like a very jealous man who will never really be a super star or any sort.
to me kyj more of an affectionate person, an actor and then a filmmaker.
host does not look good ..
i have developed a foot fetish with the lady's foot... they way she has dangled it throughout the interview... Man i am mesmerized - Forgot all what Karan has said !!!! :)
