On August 1, Karan Johar took to social media to extend his heartfelt congratulations to the duo for their outstanding performance in the film ‘Jawan.’ He called Shah Rukh Khan “a testament to his exceptional acting” and Rani “the queen of every screen she is in.” What made this moment even more significant was that Karan Johar had shared the same stage with these two talented actors when they won their first National Award together with Kajol for the film ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.’
In his congratulatory message, Karan Johar wrote, “I won my first National Award with these two & Kajol for ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’.” He went on to say, “If this is not a full circle, what is?” The phrase “full circle” is a beautiful metaphor that signifies the completion of a cycle, and for Karan Johar, this moment was a culmination of his journey with Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji, which began decades ago.
