  • Dad put relationships over films: KJo
On his father Yash Johar's 85th birth anniversary, filmmaker Karan Johar reminisced how he used to always give precedence to relationships over movies. He says it's a "tall order" to follow.
 
"Dad's birthday today...his stand was always to put relationships over films...a tall order to follow...I still try...miss him more than ever," Karan tweeted Saturday.
