On March 18, 2026, Karan Johar shared a deeply personal note on social media to mark the 83rd birthday of his mother, Hiroo Johar. In his message, the filmmaker reflected on the complexity of their bond, describing it as a relationship that words struggle to capture. He wrote about the constant anxiety he feels regarding her health, while also acknowledging the enduring strength and love that define her presence in his life.
Johar offered a glimpse into her everyday resilience, noting how she continues to follow small routines—getting her hair blow-dried, wearing lipstick, and spending time in the sun—despite having faced multiple health challenges. He also highlighted her unwavering emotional core, adding that even when her memory falters, her capacity for love remains intact. Calling her spirit his strength, he shared that he and his twins feel fortunate to express their affection for her each day.
The post quickly drew reactions from several members of the film industry. Bhumi Pednekar wrote, “Happy birthday aunty,” while Twinkle Khanna remarked, “I love Aunty’s spirit and her jewels.” Tisca Chopra also extended her wishes. Others, including Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Zeenat Aman, Aditi Rao Hydari, Maheep Kapoor and Varun Sood, responded with heart emojis. Wishes also poured in from Ananya Birla, Sophie Choudry, Namrata Shirodkar, Angad Bedi, Ayesha Shroff, Ananya Panday and Hrithik Roshan, among others.
