Shah Rukh Khan gave so much love to my father, I fell in love with him: Karan Johar, see pics

At the book launch in Mumbai on Monday, Karan explained why he loves Shah Rukh so much, “Shah Rukh Khan was an animator, so conversational, respected my father so much. When I saw SRK give my father so much love, I fell in love with him. There are ups and down in so many relationships. But with SRK there is deep love and respect I have for him. Ours will be a dynamic connect that will stay forever. My love for his family is so constant. My love for him and his work is beyond work. We have our down days and humongous high days. They will not get diminished.”

While talking about stardom, he said,” Clearly edged in my head. I grew up with movie stars. I was used to stars’ stardom. We had to succumb in their stardom.”

Talking about his other friendship, with Kajol, Karan said, “We have a great history. I don’t want to add anything to what has been already said. We have shared a 25-year-long friendship.” Karan has written in his book how his friendship ended on a sour note, “She was the one who mattered to me but now it’s over. I wouldn’t like to give a piece of myself to her at all because she’s killed every bit of emotion I had for her for twenty-five years…  I can’t even say that I was hurt or pained by it. I just wanted to blank it out. When she reacted to the whole situation and put out a tweet saying, ‘Shocked!’ that’s when I knew it was completely over for me.”
