Renowned in the realms of Bollywood, Karan Johar took to social media, unveiling a nostalgic glimpse from the production sets of Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, featuring none other than the illustrious Shah Rukh Khan and the enchanting Rani Mukerji. In a heartfelt ode shared on Instagram, Johar extended his gratitude towards Aditya Chopra. Regarded as one of Bollywood’s most eminent auteurs, Johar has, over the years, regaled cinephiles with a plethora of cinematic marvels, each intricately woven with narratives of love, relationships, and camaraderie.
In his recent social media post, Johar, on the 9th of May, presented a vintage monochromatic portrayal from the Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna sets. Captured amidst takes, the snapshot portrays Johar seated alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji, engrossed in what appears to be a profound exchange.
Within the frame, Johar and SRK, clad in wintry ensembles, are depicted in rapt attention, while Rani adorns a lehenga, her visage veiled beneath a shawl as she rests her head upon the bench. Accompanying the image, the prolific filmmaker penned a poignant note, expressing gratitude towards Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan for igniting within him the passion for storytelling. Reflecting on his journey, Johar articulated that bearing witness to such unparalleled talent has been an invaluable learning experience.
“My journey as a storyteller has been enriched by bearing witness to such extraordinary talent… Each moment is etched in my memory with profound gratitude. Not a day goes by that I don’t express my gratitude to the cosmos, Aditya Chopra, and Shah Rukh Khan for empowering me to pursue my childhood aspirations through the medium of cinema…” reads the caption accompanying his latest post. Johar also intertwined the melodic strains of “Ve Kamleyaa” from “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” in the backdrop.
The post ignited a fervent response from fans, inundating Johar’s comment section with a surge of emotions.
