Kajol takes a dig at Karan Johar: Make films without star kids, WATCH

Audiences are likely well aware of Kajol and Karan Johar's strong friendship, even before their appearance in DDLJ (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge). In two of his early films, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, the director starred Kajol as his leading heroine. The hilarious duo, who have entertained us on Koffee With Karan across multiple seasons, is returning for a commercial. The way Kajol mocks Karan Johar for his obsession with star kids is more fascinating.

Many star kids, including Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Ananya Panday, Shanaya Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, and Ishaan Khatter, have been launched by Karan Johar in the industry. In the opening scene of the newest soup brand Knorr commercial, Karan Johar asks Kajol if she wants to drink soup. And Kajol asks him in classic Kajol style, “Star kids ke bina bana loge” (Can you make it without star kids). Pat comes the witty filmmaker’s response, “Tum bhi toh star kid ho (you are also a star kid).” Later when he makes the soup and serves her, a thrilled Kajol is seen saying, “Filmein bhi aise hi bana lena, bina star kids ke (make films also in a similar way, albeit, without the star kids)”. 

Taking to Instagram and sharing the video, Karan wrote, “Nothing like bonding with one of my favourites, for some hot gossip and hot soup. The 2 things I find delicious!”

Meanwhile later this month, Kajol will next be seen in Salaam Venky. The drama, which is directed by Revathy, stars Kajol as a mother attempting to care for her terminally ill son, Vishal Jethwa. 

Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani, which Karan Johar will next direct, stars Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. The movie is scheduled for release on April 28, 2023.
