Karan Johar pens emotional note for Shah Rukh Khan: “Your kindness is as iconic as your open arms”

 

“I have such a vivid and distinct memory of meeting you Bhai, on the sets of Karan Arjun… I went expecting the aura and magic of a rising superstar but instead met a magical man with a beating heart,” Karan wrote, describing the warmth and humility that define Shah Rukh beyond his stardom.

 

The filmmaker, who has directed Khan in some of Hindi cinema’s most beloved films — Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and My Name Is Khan — went on to call him “probably the best husband, best father, best son-in-law, best brother, and the best friend anyone can have.”

 

In a note overflowing with admiration and affection, Karan added, “Your consistent kindness and generosity of spirit is just as iconic as your wide open arms (which should be officialised as a national gesture).”

I love you so much Bhai… thank you for being there through thick and thin and being family to Yash, Roohi, Mom and I… Always and forever… Happy Birthday!!! This decade, like every decade, will be yours!!!!”

 

Karan’s message struck a chord with fans online, many calling it “the most emotional birthday post of the day.”
