Dr. Jai Madaan, commenting on her discussion with Karan, shared, “Hosting Jaane Mann has been a profoundly transformative journey, a platform through which I strive to illuminate the path of self-awareness, resilience, and personal evolution for my listeners. Every conversation we have seeks to empower individuals to embrace their true selves and navigate life’s complexities with grace. Interviewing Karan Johar was nothing short of extraordinary.”
