Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt are two individuals who share a great bond right from the very beginning. Alia has been mentored by Karan Johar right from her debut movie Student Of The Year and no one can take away the fact that Karan’s guidance has been a big reason behind Alia’s success and popularity in the Hindi film industry today. Karan and Alia have worked together in many movies starting from Student Of The Year to Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Badrinath Ki Dulhania & more.
But hey folks, do you know that there was a time when Karan Johar almost had to hilariously point out to Alia that she is almost doing every Dharma Productions movie? Yes that’s true.
During an audio session on Clubhouse, Karan was quoted as saying,
“I tried to sabotage her casting because I had a one-on-one with Alia and I said, ‘Listen, you don’t have to do every Dharma film. You don’t like it, you don’t do it because the part is really nothing.’ She was like, ‘Yeah, I know but I love Shakun (Batra), I’ll just hear it for him, he’s a good friend.’ I said, ‘Yeah, yeah, but don’t do it. It’s fine because it’s called Kapoor & Sons and you’re not a Kapoor in the film.”
He further added,
“She heard (the script) and she comes to my room and says, ‘I really want to do this film, I really love the script, I don’t care about my role.’ I thought more power to her that she actually didn’t see the footage, she didn’t see the length of the role, she just saw the film, and I wish all actors in our industry thought like that.”
