<p>Not many years ago, Karan Johar's 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' and Ajay Devgn's 'Shivaay' were set to clash at the Box Office as they were both releasing on Diwali. A few weeks prior to the film's release, Devgn, who had starred, produced and directed the film, accused Johar of paying self-proclaimed critic Kamaal R Khan Rs 25 lakh to badmouth 'Shivaay'and praise ADHM.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Things turned worse when Kajol retweeted Ajay Devgn's accusations saying, "Shocked!". That seemed the end of Kajol and Karan Johar's friendship and KJo in his book, 'An Unsuitable Boy' accused Kajol of ending their 20 years long friendship without hearing his side of the story.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
But that seemed to be a thing of past. On Thursday, Kajol and Ajay Devgn shot for an episode of 'Koffee With Karan'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actress shared images of her and her husband on the sets of the show on Instagram.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kajol and KJo reportedly made up sometime last year but it was refreshing to see Devgn and the filmmaker patching up and letting go of the past differences. What is more unique is the fact the Kajol and Ajay Devgn will be sharing the couch together for the first time. Both have appeared on the show earlier but with other celebrities.</p>

<p>This is one episode that will be interesting to watch as one can be assured that Johar, the chat show host, will bring up Devgn and his feud and discuss it on the national TV.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This season has seen some interesting pairing of guests. Saif Ali Khan and his daughter Sara will feature in the upcoming episode. Johar has also shot with Arjun and Janhvi Kapoor, Diljit Dosanjh and Badshah, Abhishek and Shweta Bachchan, Ayushmann Khurrana and Vicky Kaushal.&nbsp;</p>


Not many years ago, Karan Johar's 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' and Ajay Devgn's 'Shivaay' were set to clash at the Box Office as they were both releasing on Diwali. A few weeks prior to the film's release, Devgn, who had starred, produced and directed the film, accused Johar of paying self-proclaimed critic Kamaal R Khan Rs 25 lakh to badmouth 'Shivaay'and praise ADHM.

A few weeks prior to the film's release, Devgn, who had starred, produced and directed the film, accused Johar of paying self-proclaimed critic Kamaal R Khan Rs 25 lakh to badmouth 'Shivaay'and praise ADHM. Things turned worse when Kajol retweeted Ajay Devgn's accusations saying, "Shocked!". That seemed the end of Kajol and Karan Johar's friendship and KJo in his book, 'An Unsuitable Boy' accused Kajol of ending their 20 years long friendship without hearing his side of the story. But that seemed to be a thing of past. On Thursday, Kajol and Ajay Devgn shot for an episode of 'Koffee With Karan'. The actress shared images of her and her husband on the sets of the show on Instagram. View this post on Instagram All is well........ 😜 A post shared by Kajol Devgan (@kajol) on Nov 15, 2018 at 1:32am PST × Kajol and KJo reportedly made up sometime last year but it was refreshing to see Devgn and the filmmaker patching up and letting go of the past differences. What is more unique is the fact the Kajol and Ajay Devgn will be sharing the couch together for the first time. Both have appeared on the show earlier but with other celebrities.

Ajay Devgn buries his differences with Karan Johar, shoots for 'Koffee With Karan' with wife Kajol

<p>The second episode of Karan Johar’s ‘Koffee With Karan’ turned out to be a lot of fun with guests Ranveer Singh and Akshay Kumar giving us some crazy moments as they spoke about themselves, upcoming films, equations with fellow stars and more.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Out of all, when Ranveer was asked whether he would like to work again with wife-to-be Deepika or co-star Alia Bhatt, he quickly said that he would like to work with them both in the remake/ sequel of an iconic film -- ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai 2’.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
At the show, Ranveer said that the trio will make for the perfect cast for the film’s remake. He said he will get into the shoes of Shah Rukh Khan for Rahul’s character. As for Salman Khan who played a cameo in the film, Aman’s role should be taken up by Ranbir Kapoor. He said, “Yeah, it would be like 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai 2'. And then, Ranbir (Kapoor) can enter as Salman. What a great idea! It's a block, Karan. Do it.”</p>

<p>Meanwhile, on several occasions when Karan has been questioned about making a remake of the film, he has always shown interest in bringing &nbsp;Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Janhvi Kapoor in lead roles.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai came out in 1998 and had Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji in key roles.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
On the personal front, Ranveer and Deepika are all set to tie the knot on November 14 and 15. They took to social media to announce the big news.&nbsp;</p>

DDLJ is and will always be an incredibly special film for all of us: Kajol

<p>Kuch Kuch Hota Hai completes 20 years today as it marks the coming together of Bollywood’s favourite trio -- Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and director Karan Johar, who went on to deliver massive hits in the industry. A mega-blockbuster, the film also had Rani Mukerji in a small yet relevant role.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Looking back at what happened right with the film, Karan Johar said that the hero of the film, Shah Rukh was “a bit of a fraud”. He elaborated, “Rahul was a bit of a fraud anyway. He used to say ‘we love once, marry once’ but did it twice. In my head, I hope the marriage works, but it must have been a tough marriage. I hope the little Anjali (Sana Saeed) isn’t messed up, because at eight she was loaded with so much information.”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The film proved to be so much more than just a story of friendship and love as it strengthened a strong bond between the trio who became unbreakable for many years to come.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The film was special for Karan as it was his first directorial but he admits that Shah Rukh really came out as a friend and supported him in the journey. Karan said, “It was a doctor’s set with Shah Rukh in it and I had directed it poorly but he (Shah Rukh) was kind. When I shot that dentist scene, I edited immediately and showed it to him. I realised it was a bad scene and told him about it.</p>

<p>In a tweet, Karan wrote: "I can’t believe it’s been #20YearsOfKKHH ! A film that gave me love, acceptance and a career....will always be eternally grateful to @KajolAtUN @iamsrk #rani and @BeingSalmanKhan for indulging a 25 years old boy with stars in his eyes! Thank you for all the love."</p>

'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' @20: Karan Johar thanks Shah Rukh, Kajol, Rani, Salman for film

<p>It is always a joy to watch Kajol on screen. The actress brings a certain freshness to the screen each time. The role that she is essaying on screen may not be always well written or defined, but the actress manages to light up the screen everytime she is on screen. In her latest, ‘Helicopter Eela’, which is her first film in three years, she is abnormally chirpy in the greater part of the film. The character is tad over the top, which only Kajol, with her unmatched charm, manages to make it look endearing.</p>

<p>A rising singer with a charm that impresses one and all, Eela has everything going her for till she decides to get married to Arun (Tota RoyChowdhury) – the writer of her songs and start a family. The initial few years are rosy until one day Arun decides to walk out the familial bliss and Eala becomes an overprotective mother who is a bit too hyper about her child’s well-being, In the present day, Eela and her teenage son Vivan (Riddhi Sen) share a special bond. While Eela hovers around the teenager a bit too much, Vivan craves for space and less involvement of his mother in his day to day life.</p>

<p>We have all known such parents in our lives. If not our own, we have seen people deal with their overprotective parents. From fussing a bit too much on what the child would eat every day to trying too hard to be their friend and thereby having an idea of their friends and whereabouts at all point of time- Eelas are far too many in this world, especially in India where the concept of privacy of your child is basically farce. So, on many levels, Pradeep Sircar’s film hits home. You get Vivan’s frustration when his mother befriends his gang but at the same time, you also understand Eela’s overprotective behaviour because her son is the only man who has not left her and she can never have enough of him.</p>

<p><img alt="Kajol and Riddhi Sen in 'Helicopter Eela' " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7cd188cf-ebec-433e-9183-3f99aa8e4a3a" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%2820%29.jpg" /></p>

<p>While the intent of the film is genuine, it is the execution that falters. The reason for Arun’s departure from Eala’s life seems too flaky. She never tries to find out later if he is at all alive or dead. The climax of the film is overtly dramatic and absolutely far-fetched. Then there are problems with the screenplay itself.&nbsp; The struggles of raising a child alone is tough but Eela makes it look like a cakewalk.</p>

<p>Above all, the film appears to superfluous thereby numbing the impact of Eela and her struggles in life.</p>

<p>Since it is produced by Ajay Devgn, a lot of Bollywood stars have cameos in it. From Ila Arun to Baba Sehgal to Mahesh Bhatt to Amitabh Bachchan- all play themselves in the film. The story ultimately is about Eela and her son and formidable actors like Kajol and Riddhi Sen infuse life into the two characters. They are good in their craft, especially 19-year-old National Award winner Sen who in his Bollywood debut delivers a very assured performance. It isn’t easy to match up to Kajol’s screen presence but Sen, who is a known face in Bengali cinema, appears to be a confident performer making Vivaan believable. Kajol shines mostly throughout the film. But in the flashback scenes, where she is playing a girl in her 20s, she sometimes appears to be trying too hard. But then its Kajol, and her over the top performance in those scenes can be overlooked simply because she brights up the screen.</p>

<p>‘Helicopter Eela’, despite good acting, suffers from a flaky story. It is well-intended, but the execution seems half-hearted with too many unnecessary dramatic moments marring the story to a great extent. At a time when films like 'Tumhari Sullu', 'English Vinglish', and 'Nil Battey Sannata' have already been made with middle-aged women as the central character, you expect 'Helicopter Eela' to be that impactful especially because the film has good performers but 'Helicopter Eela' is too synthetic in its approach towards the story which ultimately lets the film down.</p>

'Helicopter Eela' review: Kajol, Riddhi Sen are good, the story not so much

<p>Parenting has always been an art, with one generation balancing out their preferences and ideologies and fine-tuning them to suit the next generation. We have always thought sitting at a distance that the Hindi film industry, with its high chair attitude has a different approach to raising their kids but Bollywood’s beloved heroine Kajol breaks these myths as she talks about her upcoming film ‘Helicopter Eela,’ working with National Film Award winner Riddhi Sen as his on-screen mother and real-life kids, Nysa and Yug.</p>

<p>In a conversation with WION, Kajol spoke about her character drawing inspiration from the helicopter moms of the Internet, who are a part of the hashtag culture. She said, “It is this mother who is a control freak, keeps a watch on her kids, is suspicious of everything that the kid does. She feels that ‘everything that I do is with intent of love. If I slap him, its because I love the kid’.”</p>

<p>In ‘Helicopter Eela’, Kajol plays the role of a single mother, Eela who doubles up both as a mother and father, often side-stepping into the territory of a college-going son, Vivaan played by actor Riddi Sen. &nbsp;</p>

<p>As seen in the trailer of the film, this trait of overprotectiveness leads to confusion between the mother and son duo. It goes on to show how overdoing love can also put undue strain on a relationship and lead to distance between two people.</p>

<p>Is Kajol like this in real life too with her kids? Taking to this question, the superstar smartly levied humour as a strong point in her relationships. She said, “I feel a sense of humour is very important to deal with things in one’s life. You can’t take everything seriously. With kids it’s important to say everything with a smile on your face” and added, “Stay like friends with your kids.”</p>

<p>Kajol as a mother of two kids, daughter Nysa and son Yug gives huge importance to being “aware of what is happening around you.” As she spoke about parenting and her role in ‘Helicopter Eela’, Kajol mentioned that every kid like hers wants their “parents to respect their individuality.” She said, “Children want you to identify their individuality. Keep the channel of conversation open. In this day and age, you cant keep stop the flow of information. Kid’s age doesn’t determine what Safari page will open so it’s important to have that conversation channel open.”</p>

<p>On her choice of films, Kajol said, “I have always done films that I feel are nice, in which I can do something different. If there’s a good script, I can play a good character. But with only a good character sketch I cant make a good script. I am lucky to have Pradeep Sarkar as my director. He is an amazing director.”</p>

<p>‘Helicopter Eela’ is scheduled to release on October 12 and it will be Kajol’s return to the big screen after a gap of three years. She was last seen in ‘Dilwale’ with Shah Rukh Khan.</p>

<p>Riddhi Sen is an Indian Bengali actor who won the prestigious National Film Award for Best Actor for ‘Nagarkirtan’ this year.</p>

Ahead of release of her film ‘Helicopter Eela’, Kajol reveals what keeps her relationships going

He tweeted on the microblogging site yesterday as he shared her number and told followers to WhatsApp her in case they wanted to get in touch with her.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The number was obviously fake and did not belong to Kajol but people still tried and in fact had a laugh at Ajay’s antics.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Reacting to the incident today, Kajol took to Twitter to teach her husband a lesson. In an angry tweet that has undertones on sweetness, the actress warned her husband and told him that he is not welcome at home as a result of his prank. She tweeted: “Looks like your pranks are out of the studios now... But there is No Entry for them at home! 😡”</p>

Kajol reacts to husband Ajay Devgn's Twitter prank, says 'no entry at home'

<p>Actor-director Ajay Devgn on Monday tweeted out wife Kajol's phone number on his microblogging site.</p>

<p>The actor posted, "Kajol not in country.. co-ordinate with her on WhatsApp 98201***(sic)".</p>

<p>A case that initially appeared as a publicity stunt was later clarified to be a prank on the Twitterati.</p>

<p>Hours later Devgn clarified that it was just a prank and said that "Pranks on film set are so passé...so tried pulling one on you guys here."<br />
<br />
Kajol is currently busy promoting her upcoming film 'Helicopter Eela' which is slated to release on 12th October. Incidentally, the film has been produced by Devgn himself.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Needless to say, the tweet caught everyone's attention and the actor got trolled in no time. People even started messaging on the said number, which has Kajol's photo as the display picture.</p>

Actor-director Ajay Devgn on Monday tweeted out wife Kajol's phone number on his microblogging site. The actor posted, "Kajol not in country.. co-ordinate with her on WhatsApp 98201***(sic)".

Actor-director Ajay Devgn on Monday tweeted out wife Kajol's phone number on his microblogging site. The actor posted, "Kajol not in country.. co-ordinate with her on WhatsApp 98201***(sic)". A case that initially appeared as a publicity stunt was later clarified to be a prank on the Twitterati. Hours later Devgn clarified that it was just a prank and said that "Pranks on film set are so passé...so tried pulling one on you guys here." Kajol is currently busy promoting her upcoming film 'Helicopter Eela' which is slated to release on 12th October. Incidentally, the film has been produced by Devgn himself. Needless to say, the tweet caught everyone's attention and the actor got trolled in no time. People even started messaging on the said number, which has Kajol's photo as the display picture.

Did Ajay Devgn accidentally share Kajol's number on Twitter?

<p>She may be a name to reckon with in the acting world but Kajol admits that she learnt the craft hands-on, one film at a time.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Ahead of her upcoming film 'Helicopter Eela', Kajol, one of the most spontaneous actors in the industry spoke to a news agency and stated that she has grown with each of her films. The actress recalled that Shah Rukh Khan, with whom she has done several blockbuster films, told her on the sets of Baazingar to learn how to act. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I remember having a conversation during 'Baazigar' with Shah Rukh Khan and he told me, I should learn how to act and I was like, 'I am doing so fabulously well'. He told me I need to burn out as an actor, I felt, he talks nonsense sometimes.<br />
<br />
"But when I was shooting for 'Udhar Ki Zindagi', I was like, 'I can't do films that are so heavy, it sucks so much out of you'. I did not want to do that anymore."<br />
Kajol termed 'Bekhudi', 'Udhar Ki Zindagi' (1994) and 'Dushman' (1998) as her favourites.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Kajol remembered discussing with Tanuja that she wanted to do lighter films and not be part of emotionally draining movies.<br />
<br />
"... I (told her) that I want to do films with three songs, three scenes, etc. So I signed up films like 'Hulchul' and 'Gundaraj', among others."<br />
<br />
But after taking up a series of light-hearted films, Kajol changed her mind and featured in a hard-hitting film like 'Dushman'. The actor says she had initially rejected the project."I had said 'no' to it because I did not want to do a film with a rape scene in it. I didn't want to enact that. I felt it would be difficult for me. I am not comfortable with somebody doing that to me on-screen, even for a shot or whatever," Kajol added.<br />
<br />
But director Tanuja Chandra and producer Pooja Bhatt assured her that they will shoot the scene aesthetically and use a body double.&nbsp;It was 'Dushman' that helped Kajol master the art of body language, she said.<br />
<br />
Kajol said with Karan Johar's directorial debut 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', she realised the importance of chemistry between co-stars.<br />
<br />
"What I realised is that when you have fun off-screen, it translates on screen. Your off-screen equation is conveyed on screen. There is some relatability that comes on screen... You don't know what is it that attracts people," the actor, who featured opposite long-time friend Shah Rukh, said.&nbsp;</p>

Shah Rukh Khan told me I should learn how to act: Kajol

<p>Actor Kajol says she only gives her nod to a film if the script manages to hold her attention.</p>

<p>The 43-year-old actor, who was last seen in Dhanush's "VIP 2", said screen-time of a character is not important for her if it has "something amazing" to offer her as a performer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I love reading. It is my passion, hobby, and meditation. I believe a good script should be like one of those books that you read till 4 am and you know you have to get up at 7 am and go to work. It is a book that is unputdownable."And the character should be like that you build and make something amazing out of it. I don't think whether I am the main lead or have enough to do in the film or not, whether it's two scenes or half a scene to do, it should be of a kind that leaves a strong impact," Kajol said during a promotional event of "Incredibles 2".</p>

<p>The actor has voiced the character of Helen Parr aka Elastigirl in the Hindi-version of "Incredibles 2".</p>

<p>The 43-year-old actor said that even though she hates dubbing, the experience of voicing for the beloved superhero character was "exciting".</p>

<p>"I don't like dubbing for myself, it is the most painful and boring process. If you are dubbing for yourself then it is bad and if you are doing for somebody else then it is twice as worse. But at the end of it, I was like it was great fun. To dub for Elastigirl was very exciting," Kajol said.</p>

<p>The actor wished that she had some superpowers in real life so as to manage everything, from the "me time" to giving attention to her kids and family.</p>

<p>"What I like most about these films is they are giving out the right message but in a humorous way. It is an intelligent film and it is meant for everybody. There is no age limit to it."</p>

Ajay Devgn and Kajol's son Yug becomes the youngest to take up viral fitness challenge

<p>Indian actress Kajol unveiled her first ever <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/entertainment-kajol-unveils-her-wax-statue-at-madame-tussauds-singapore-139502">wax statue</a> yesterday with daughter Nysa in Madame Tussauds Singapore. While we informed you yesterday about the unveiling as the mother-daughter duo looked their best twinning in black, there is&nbsp;now a sweet video of the actress and her daughter circulating on social media that you cannot ignore.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As Nysa who is incidentally studying in Singapore joined her celebrity mother for the event, she played a little trick with the actress, amusing one and all.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the viral video, Nysa can be seen posing with mother Kajol and her wax statue. She then walks out of the frame after challenging Kajol to remain still as a statue (remember the game that we have all played during our childhood that recently got viral and was called the Mannequin challenge?) Kajol takes a couple of seconds to realise what just happened and stays still, keeping true to the spirit of the game. &nbsp;</p>

Kajol accompanied with her daughter Nysa unveiled her wax statue at Madame Tussauds Singapore.

Indian actress Kajol unveiled her first ever wax statue yesterday with daughter Nysa in Madame Tussauds Singapore. While we informed you yesterday about the unveiling as the mother-daughter duo looked their best twinning in black, there is now a sweet video of the actress and her daughter circulating on social media that you cannot ignore. As Nysa who is incidentally studying in Singapore joined her celebrity mother for the event, she played a little trick with the actress, amusing one and all. In the viral video, Nysa can be seen posing with mother Kajol and her wax statue. She then walks out of the frame after challenging Kajol to remain still as a statue (remember the game that we have all played during our childhood that recently got viral and was called the Mannequin challenge?) Kajol takes a couple of seconds to realise what just happened and stays still, keeping true to the spirit of the game. Watch the video: Hehe Kajol’s expression as she looks at her own rendering in wax after Nysa says Statue! @InstantBollywood ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ . . . #Instantbollywood #Instabollywood #bollywood #kajol #nysadevgan A post shared by Instant Bollywood (@instantbollywood) on May 24, 2018 at 6:38am PDT × Earlier in the day, Kajol posted a picture with Nysa and captioned it: “My little girl with me on a red carpet for the first time.” My little girl with me on a red carpet for the first time .....❤️❤️❤️ A post shared by Kajol Devgan (@kajol) on May 24, 2018 at 2:30am PDT × On the work front, Kajol will next be seen in Pradeep Sarkar’s Eela (tentatively titled) that is expected to hit the theatres on September 14.

<br />
&quot;Life has come a full circle with this film. Pradeep Sarkar is going to direct it and he&#39;s an amazing person to work with. He had directed my first ever music video, many many years ago, when I was a model,&quot; Neha told PTI.<br />
<br />
&quot;I&#39;m looking forward to working with Kajol too, who plays the protagonist in the film. She&#39;s an effortless actor. She plays Eela, which is also the tentative title of the film,&quot; she added.<br />
<br />
<em>Eela</em>&nbsp;is produced by Ajay Devgn who, Neha said, had produced her first film too, &quot;so it was very nostalgic to sign it.&quot;<br />
<br />

<p>As Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley presented NDA government&#39;s<a href="http://www.wionews.com/business-economy/live-union-budget-2018-finance-minister-arun-jaitley-presents-budget-in-parliament-31380" target="_blank"> last full-year budget ahead of the general elections next year</a>, the entertainment industry too expected something from the list.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Actresses like Kajol, Richa Chaddha expected&nbsp;high taxes&nbsp;from the entertainment industry to stop and it to be &#39;tax-free&#39;.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking before the budget announcement,&nbsp;Kajol said, &ldquo;I ideally want the entertainment industry to be completely tax-free. But since that is not going to happen, I will leave this up to the government to do as they see best.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Richa Chadda also supported Kajol&#39;s sentiment and said that she was worried about the country&rsquo;s economy going down. &ldquo;As an actor, I want to say that as of now the entertainment tax is too high. People like me pay 33 percent tax and 15 percent GST, so I want something in return too. Amenities like Education, Electricity, Water and Health should be free. We can&rsquo;t really be free till the time, we don&rsquo;t give these basic amenities to everyone in that nation.&rdquo;</p>

<p>She also said that such &quot;high taxes in the industry is killing cinema&quot;&nbsp;and that it needs to be modified.</p>

<p>However, choreographer Terrence Lewis spoke against the idea of not levying tax on the industry and said that making entertainment industry &rsquo;tax-free&rsquo; is not the right choice. &ldquo;Entertainment industry is not a social service. We are doing for our own personal agenda. So, yes, taxes can be reduced but not fully diminished.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham turns 16, Karan Johar shares unseen photos from the sets

<p>They have been friends since childhood but a misunderstanding between Karan Johar and Kajol led to a tiff between the two a few years back, Karan Johar in his autobiography even wrote how Kajol is no more a part of his life. But with time, wounds heal and relationships also change. And if we go by the recent banter between the two on Twitter, looks like they are ready to extend an olive branch towards each other.&nbsp;</p>

Karan Johar said Kajol is one of his best friends and will continue to be the same even in future.

They have been friends since childhood but a misunderstanding between Karan Johar and Kajol led to a tiff between the two a few years back, Karan Johar in his autobiography even wrote how Kajol is no more a part of his life. But with time, wounds heal and relationships also change. And if we go by the recent banter between the two on Twitter, looks like they are ready to extend an olive branch towards each other.

A pic of me and my first love .... my first car ever !!! #tbt ?????? pic.twitter.com/G8gejESIef — Kajol (@KajolAtUN) November 9, 2017 × I think I remember a traumatic drive in this car with Manish!!?? https://t.co/bivMxjRnlT — Karan Johar (@karanjohar) November 9, 2017 × Now, Karan Johar, who is debuting as a radio jockey on a private radio station as a love guru", said on Tuesday that Kajol is one of his best friends and will continue to be the same even in future.
