On the birth anniversary of legendary producer Yash Johar, filmmaker Karan Johar shared an emotional tribute filled with cherished memories of his late father. Karan began by sharing a picture of their childhood together, captioning it "Happy birthday papa, miss you everyday".
One of the most amusing anecdotes Karan recounted was about the first designer jacket he bought after the success of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Excited by the prospect of treating himself to an expensive Burberry jacket, Karan proudly entered the store and made the purchase. He then showed the jacket to his father, who looked perplexed and asked, "Beta... yeh kya hai...?" When Karan revealed the jacket was from Burberry, his father responded with a pun that left Karan stunned: "Beta yeh Burberry nahi... Bahut buri hai..."
Though initially heartbroken, Karan quickly regained his composure and burst out laughing, describing his father as "rooted, basic and very very funny". Yash Johar's legacy extended beyond humor, as Karan also remembered his father's unwavering belief in him. He recounted how his father encouraged him to consider acting, saying, "Tu itna handsome hai- hero ban ja! Horse riding kyun nahi sekhta?!". However, his mother had more practical concerns, warning him against appearing in front of the camera or on a horse.
Despite his mother's doubts, Karan's father remained Yash Johar's biggest supporter. In one of the most emotional conversations, after a chemotherapy session, Yash Johar said, "I don t want to leave mom and you but I feel like I am going to... Just promise me you will always be kind... success means nothing if you re not kind. And take care of mom, like I have.
Papa I will take care of mom like a parent and a child... I promise". Before his condition worsened, Yash Johar made Karan promise to be kind, as success meant nothing without kindness. With Yash Johar's passing, Karan reflected on the void he has carried for over two decades, but vowed never to fill it. He remembered his father as his god, stating, "Miss you papa...everyday".
