Johar expressed his gratitude to his closest friends in the industry, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Rani Mukerji, and Kajol, for their invaluable support.

Johar also touched upon his past feuds with Kajol and Kareena, stating, “With time, you realize that relationships go through ups and downs. I would never want to go back to the time when we weren’t speaking. I am glad that today I am strong as a friend.”
Overall, Karan Johar’s candid revelations provide a glimpse into the supportive network he has in his friends as he navigates the challenges of single parenthood.
