Karan Johar talks abou Bollywood's WhatsApp groups.(Photo: Instagram/karanjohar) During a conversation with Barkha Dutt for the Mojo Story, an excited audience member mentioned that Karan probably must be part of the most exciting WhatsApp groups in Bollywood. The audience member then asked whether he would ever think about making a movie or writing a book about those conversations. Karan was surprised by the question, but he answered.
