has finally broken his silence on the much-speculated fallout with
Kartik Aaryan
in 2021. Speaking to Bollywood Hungama,

reflected on their patch-up, calling it a mature and professional decision to move forward. The duo is now collaborating on Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, a romantic comedy under Dharma Productions, directed by

Karan Johar praises Kartik Aaryan
Praising Kartik's growth and professionalism, Karan said, 'Kartik is an immensely hardworking actor and a very connective big star today who has a wide audience space. He has a great instinct on screenplay.' He further added, 'I think we internally discussed it, worked it out and let bygones be bygones… He and I met, collaborated and decided to come together — it was all lovely.'
'In a family, gile-shikwe ho jaate hain'
Karan compared the film industry to a close-knit family where differences are inevitable but not irreparable.
'It's a tiny industry, which I call a family. I believe that in a family, kabhi kabhi gile shikwe ho jaate hain (sometimes complaints and misunderstandings happen),' he said, adding, 'Good people want to make good films, create good content and, as I said, we don't sweat the small stuff — we have a larger vision to look at.

Karan Johar's Rs 32 cr Mumbai duplex has a bedroom-turned-closet, Hollywood-style glam room; designer Gauri Khan called it ‘subtly over-the-top'
'Glamorous, chic and subtly over-the-top,' is how Gauri Khan described Karan Johar's luxurious Bandra apartment, which she herself designed. Earlier, Karan had given a home tour of his residence, which reflects his personality — with all things modern and glam while also offering cozy corners to relax in, including a massive closet space. Let's take a detailed look inside his stylish bachelor pad. Karan Johar's apartment has been featured in many videos. During his interaction with Asian Paints, Karan shared a look at his living room, which has several cozy sofas. The filmmaker pointed out that while most of the sofas are in different shades of beige, he added a green and blue sofa to break the monotony. The living space is also decked up with a grand chandelier that ties together the cozy and luxurious vibe of the room. Adjacent to the living room is the dining area, which boasts a large dining table made of wood and marble. Karan revealed that he often conducts meetings at this very table. In fact, he, Alia Bhatt, and Ranveer Singh held discussions about Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani at this spot. During the chat, Karan Johar admitted that Shah Rukh Khan's wife and his close friend, Gauri Khan, designed the apartment for him. Interestingly, Karan shared that he had not even seen his home before Gauri completed its interiors. He told Architectural Digest India, 'I have no contribution to it. This is Gauri Khan's baby. The night we called really close friends for dinner was the night I saw the house for the first time, so when I was showing it, I was also seeing it.' Karan then takes the viewers to his bedroom, which features a cozy bed. However, the highlight for most viewers is the massive closet space attached to his bedroom. Known for owning exclusive attire and accessories from global luxury brands like Balenciaga, Gucci, and Prada, Karan revealed in the clip that he converted an entire bedroom into a closet to accommodate his extensive collection of branded jackets, shoes, and bags. The filmmaker also has a separate glam room featuring a large mirror surrounded by lights. The room includes a vintage-style glam chair reminiscent of classic Hollywood. Karan also shared a look at his deck, which is furnished with patio furniture. The area is adorned with tall plants and features white and blue patio decor. 'This feels like some kind of Amazonian jungle where greenery is coming at you from everywhere,' Karan said while describing the space. In a video featured on Farah Khan's YouTube channel, Karan Johar showcased the lower portion of his duplex apartment, which serves as his office. Farah guided viewers through the space, which includes a bar and large leather sofas where Karan listens to scripts and holds meetings. The staircase connecting the two levels of the apartment is made of wood, with a glass railing and brass-toned finishings. The 8,000-square-foot apartment, located on Carter Road in Bandra, is valued between Rs 30- 32 crore. According to MagicBricks, the estimated rate is approximately Rs 40,000 per square foot. Karan bought this apartment in 2010.

R Madhavan's striking similarity to Ajit Doval is hard to miss in 'Dhurandhar' teaser apart from Ranveer Singh's fiery look; netizens react
Ever since 'Dhuradhar' was announced, there have been rumours about Ranveer Singh playing Ajit Doval who is the National Security Advisor Of India. However, a report suggested that Ranveer will not be playing his role, though the film will touch upon his life. Now as the teaser of 'Dhurandhar' has dropped on Ranveer's birthday on July 6, netizens can't help but notice the striking similarity between R Madhavan's character and Ajit Doval. Rumours suggested that 'Dhurandhar' is set against the backdrop of geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan despite the fact that the makers have not exactly stated that. The teaser though, suggests that the movie is based on true events. Reports also suggested that Ranveer plays young Ajit Doval in the film. Earlier, Bollywood Hungama had quoted a source saying that will not be playing Doval, even though the film will touch upon his life. This source told the portal that Madhavan plays Doval and that it's something which the actor was really looking forward to, as he's sporting a new look for the film. Here's how the internet has reacted to Madhavan's look. A Reddit user wrote, "So excited for this film. Irrespective of all the different political ideologies, no one can deny that Ajit Doval has been one of India's best security advisors. He was a spy, a real hero! Trust Madhavan to ace this role and with all the nationalist wave going on, pretty sure the film will do well. Aditya Dhar has featured Ajit Doval in two of his films; this is the second. Ajit Doval inspired Paresh Rawal's character, Govind Bhardwaj, in Uri: The Surgical Strike.
