Karan Johar Is Very Much Inspired From Shahrukh Khan

No one is unbeknownst about the two decades long friendship of Karan Johar and Shahrukh Khan. The two have been together since long, so one can say they share an eternal bond. In fact, when Karan made debut as director in Bollywood with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, he went on to cast best friend Shahrukh as the lead.

His back gives him much more pain than he lets anyone know… His threshold to pain is so huge that he doesn’t let anyone around him see what he is going through. His back pain is supposed to go away with time — we hope that happens.

To me, Shah Rukh is a very spiritual person. If he honed that part of his personality he’d really be something. He is really God’s good son. He knows the right things to say. He is very spiritual in a lot of ways. He has the right kind of spiritual path that he tells you about if he feels close enough to you.

I feel he has an extra kind of perception. If he works on it, he’d be psychic and spiritual.

Actually, I give him the respect I give my father. I can never have a casual conversation with him. He is more like a spiritual influence. He is like a senior in my life, but if I need a friend then he makes a brilliant friend.

If you know him well you understand what he is saying, where he is coming from. In moments in my life where I have needed support, he has been there. Whenever there has been a crisis, he has been wonderful. He has always been a supportive presence through any crisis – whether it was an emotional crisis or related to health.

One of the most intelligent minds in the business is Shah Rukh Khan and I think one of the most emotionally intelligent men is Shah Rukh Khan and I have learned little life lessons from him,” Karan said.

“I have learned a lot from Shah Rukh. In fact, spiritually, emotionally, the kind of person he is. So I have imbibed a lot of his qualities and I am doing it till now. I am going to learn a lot more from him,” he added.
