25 Years of Karan Johar’s Iconic Journey in Bollywood

After bringing magic and romance to the big screen with his iconic movies, ace director and producer Karan Johar was felicitated at the NEXA IIFA Awards 2024 for completing 25 years in the industry. 



Since stepping into his father’s shoes as the owner of Dharma Productions, one of India’s leading production houses, KJo has won audiences with his films! 

At the young age of 25, KJo gifted our country Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, one of the most beloved and celebrated Bollywood romances of all time. Now, at 52, he continues to create magic from behind the camera with stories that touch hearts and souls. 

As we celebrate our love for KJo, let’s look back at our favourite Bollywood director’s dazzling journey of 25 years. 


We all still long for a dosti-turned-pyaar like Rahul and Anjali's, thanks to KJo’s legendary directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, in 1998!

Whether it's SRK’s iconic entry scene, the palatial Raichand mansion, or the dream of every young girl to be Pooooo, KJo practically redefined what we know as the ‘OG Bollywood’ with Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001)

When it comes to Bollywood, we can’t ignore Koffee with Karan and the rapid-fire round – a Karan Johar invention that helps us get to know our stars better and oh, learn new words!

After all these years, the magic remains! With Rocky Randhawa's mast andaaz and Rani's stunning entry, we know it’s a classic whenever Karan's behind the camera—just like in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023)!
