Karan Johar Gets Roasted By Shah Rukh Khan Over Parenting And Sports Skills
Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar have shared a close bond that has evolved alongside their careers in the entertainment industry. The two often roast each other during interviews. During the WAVES Summit 2025, SRK brought his signature humour when Karan jokingly mentioned how his kids usually ask him to train them like Shah Rukh trains Abram before school events. King Khan teased Karan by saying that since Deepika Padukone is naturally good at sports, thanks to her family background, the filmmaker should get some training first before trying to train his kids. Karan was slightly embarrassed by the joke but handled it with a smile and said he didn't realise when the talk turned into 'roast.'
During a chat, Karan said, 'There are just some things that you do which are very tough for us to copy. My son once came to me and said, 'Shah Rukh uncle trains Abram before Sports Day, why aren't you training me?' I mean, can you imagine me training my son how to run for Sports Day? Do you think that's even physically possible? It's actually quite scary."
Reacting to this, Shah Rukh Khan said, 'I think, Karan, what you should do is, because Deepika is such a wonderful athlete, it's in her genes, first you come and get trained by us, and after that, you go and train the kids." Karan replied, 'I don't know when this turned into a roast, but anyway. Whatever you said, I accept it with respect."
In an earlier segment, calling SRK 'Parent of the decade," Karan Johar said, 'I want to tell you, every time I see the way he is with his three children, I feel all kinds of complexes. He is present for them at every moment, enjoying every Annual Day, every Sports Day, everywhere. He even trains them to run. I can't do any of those things, I'm just not physically capable. But he is like this perfect model parent and we feel defeated by that comparison."
Shah Rukh Khan shared a touching thought he read during his younger days and said that having a child feels like letting a part of your heart walk outside your body. Talking about feeling lonely, he gave a simple advice that if you can make your children laugh, you will never feel lonely and for those who don't have kids yet, making your parents laugh will also keep loneliness away. He feels proud that he has made his family and children happy.
On the work front, Khan is gearing up for King, where he'll share screen with his daughter Suhana Khan.

Karan Johar on being isolated as a kid for being too feminine: Wasn't boy enough
Director Karan Johar recently opened up on his struggle with gaining acceptance among the kids from his age group. He recalled how he was not often included in sports teams for being 'too feminine'.Karan, in an interview with Jay Shetty, on his YouTube channel said, "I was told I was, you know, more feminine than I should be. I walked differently. I ran differently. I spoke differently. My choices in life, my hobbies in life, were different."advertisementHe further said, "So whenever I went down, you know we lived in like apartment blocks, and when you went down, it was the thing that all the kids in the apartment block would come down and play in the evenings, and I wanted to belong." "I wanted to be part of the football team. I wanted to play cricket with the boys. But nobody chose me because I wasn't good enough. You know, I wasn't sporty enough. I was not boy enough or man enough. So when you ask me what I wanted to be, the first thing at that age was that I wanted to belong," the 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' director went on."The very first part of my formative years, my teenage years, was just to belong. And no one told me then that you don't have to. You can be your own person. That guidance, that nurturing, that philosophy of life wasn't given to me at that point in time. And I remember the particular moment when my mother sat me down, and I was 12, because I was going through a really rough time. I wanted to change schools. I wanted to because I felt I was being ragged in and around. And I still went back to the same school. I didn't change schools," Karan is the son of late producer Yash Johar and Dharma Productions' co-producer Hiroo Yash director-producer recently backed 'Dhadak 2' with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri. The film, directed by Shazia Iqbal is scheduled to release on August 1, 2025.- EndsTrending Reel

Karan Johar regrets making Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor's OK Jaanu. Here's why
Filmmaker Karan Johar has admitted that he looks back at making OK Jaanu, the Hindi remake of Mani Ratnam's OK Kanmani, starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor, with a tinge of regret. He shared that he sensed that it was not the right move. Karan Johar's OK Jaanu was released in 2017. Karan Johar looks back Karan spoke on the Jay Shetty podcast about the film OK Jaanu, which featured Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur. He discussed the power of intuition and reflected on Aditya Chopra's belief in him. The filmmaker mentioned that his instincts have remained a guiding force throughout his journey. In fact, Karan acknowledged that he hasn't always listened to his intuition. At that moment, Karan looked back at the making of OK Jaanu and shared that he didn't listen to his instincts. He said, 'At that time, Aditya and Shraddha just had a hit, Aashiqui 2. They already agreed to do the film, and the film came to me as a project. Ready. With a great remake. Shaad Ali–a great director. Wonderful actors. And yet, in my heart, I actually felt that, 'Should this film be remade?' because it is so much in the moment. Can the moment be recaptured?'' Talking about the film's performance, Karan shared, 'It wasn't anyone's fault. Everyone did their job well. But deep down, I knew it wasn't the right move–and I didn't act on it. Even today, I sometimes don't listen to my instincts. And when I don't, I go wrong. It's a mistake I keep making.' About OK Jaanu The film, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapoor, was released in 2017. The Shaad Ali-directed remake was a remake of the Tamil romantic drama O Kandhal Kanmani (2015), which was directed by Mani Ratnam. It focused on contemporary romance and the relationship between the lead pair in a live-in relationship. AR Rahman composed the music, with Humma Humma, a reimagined version of the song from the Mani Ratnam classic Bombay, and Enna Sona emerging as chartbusters. Despite high expectations, the film failed to elicit the expected response. About Karan's projects At the moment, Karan is looking forward to the release of his next film is Dhadak 2, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri in the lead roles. It is slated to release on August 1. It is produced by Dharma Productions alongside Zee Studios and Cloud 9 Pictures. It is directed by Shazia Iqbal.
