"He asked me many questions about my non-existent career," wrote Karan
Shah Rukh Khan is celebrating his 57th birthday today and his best friend Karan Johar couldn't help but remember his first meeting with the superstar 29 years ago. Sharing a wonderful video combined with many throwback pictures of him and Shah Rukh Khan from various films' sets on Instagram, Karan Johar revealed how he met Shah Rukh Khan almost three decades ago on the sets of Karan Arjun and became his "bhai." He wrote, "The film was Karan Arjun... the set was in Film City... my father and I arrived (me playing the part of a plus size hanger on) for a professional meeting (the signing on the dotted line for the film Duplicate) I had many apprehensions about movie stars... many of them based on fact and some of course Stardust! So I wondered about this new breakthrough star who was apparently a lot like his first big hit (Deewana for the uninformed)."
He added, "He was in costume and met my father warmly and gave him a massive jhappi! He shook my hand and with his immensely kind eyes asked me many questions about my non-existent career and my unproductive life (at that time ) My answers were as bland as khichdi for an upset stomach but he listened with so much attention that I felt at that time that I had cracked the Da Vinci code... That was 29 years ago."
"Today I call him Bhai and he still listens to me with wrapped attention (even when I am discussing my trials and tribulations of hosting a talk show) his kind eyes are even kinder... and he is... Personality! That word just means SRK! For he is more than family and will always be my fiercest Critic and my hugest inspiration... I owe my entire being to Adi and Bhai.... And today I celebrate him and his extraordinary teaser of what I believe is going to be a juggernaut blockbuster! Hail the King! Because there isn't and will never be another! Love you Bhai," read Karan's caption.
