Quotes
Karan Johar
Filmmaker and son of Yash Johar
“I remember Kuch Kuch Hota Hai had released and I decided to buy my very first designer jacket in celebration! I proudly walked into the Burberry store and bought the only jacket that fit me (those were my mega plus size days)... I wore it and in my head I was looking rather smashing (the origin of my delusion).”
