Karan Johar: Aryan being launched is like my son being launched

Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan have always had a very close bond. They have always been quiet vocal about the fact that they have each other’s back and will always be there for each other. With the reports of Shah Rukh’s son Aryan gearing up for his Bollywood debut soon, Karan was asked how he feels about it.

To this the filmmaker said, “Aryan is my godchild. Currently, he is in Los Angeles and he has four years of university ahead of him. When he comes back he is going to decide if he wants to be in the movies. And if he does, of course, I will be a big part of it as a director or just as a guiding support. For me, Aryan being launched is like my son being launched. I will be this hyper relative breathing down his neck.”

Talking about how far they go and how proud he is of Aryan. Karan further said, “I have held Aryan in my arms when he was six months old and walked around the streets of London. Now he is a grownup, good looking boy with six-packs and all set to face the world. I feel so proud. Of course, I track him all the time. When I see any images of him online, he gets messages from me in the middle of the night. I ask him, 'What are you doing, who is this person with you in the frame?' I feel like a possessive parent who wants to know exactly what he is up to."

That’s really sweet of Karan isn’t it? When the filmmaker was further asked if he had ever imagined the father-son duo in the same frame, he said, “I think SRK and Aryan will be totally dynamic in the same frame, as they are great with each other. I have spent so much time with them and seen the relationship they share."
