It's
known
to
all
that
filmmaker
Karan
Johar
and
superstar
Shah
Rukh
Khan
share
a
great
rapport
with
each
other.
No
matter
what,
their
friendship
has
always
stayed
intact
throughout
the
years
and
the
duo
has
always
said
nice
things
about
each
other.
Apart
from
being
a
hit
director-actor
duo,
they
are
family
to
each
other.
In
fact,
while
interacting
with
media,
Karan
has
mentioned
several
times
that
he
won't
let
anyone
launch
SRK's
son
Aryan
Khan,
as
he
wants
the
latter
to
make
his
Bollywood
debut
under
his
direction.
On
that
note,
we
bring
to
you
an
old
interview
of
Karan
Johar
wherein
he
had
opened
up
about
the
bond
he
shares
with
Shah
Rukh
and
what
the
superstar
means
to
him.
While
speaking
to
Lata
Khubchandani,
Karan
had
said,
"To
me,
Shah
Rukh
is
a
very
spiritual
person.
If
he
honed
that
part
of
his
personality
he'd
really
be
something.
He
is
really
God's
good
son.
He
knows
the
right
things
to
say.
He
is
very
spiritual
in
a
lot
of
ways.
He
has
the
right
kind
of
spiritual
path
that
he
tells
you
about
if
he
feels
close
enough
to
you."
KJo
went
on
to
add
that
he
can
never
backslap
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
because
he
respects
him
a
lot.
"I
think
he
is
a
great
provider.
He
provides
very
well
for
his
wife,
his
children,
his
sister,
his
friends
and
for
me
definitely.
He
is
in
my
life
more
as
an
elder
than
as
an
actor.
That's
why
I
can
never
say
Shah
Rukh
is
a
friend
of
mine.
I
can't
backslap
him
or
take
him
for
granted
because
I
respect
him
too
much,"
said
Karan.
Karan
and
Shah
Rukh
have
worked
together
in
Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai,
Kabhi
Khushi
Kabhie
Gham,
Kabhi
Alvida
Naa
Kehna
and
My
Name
Is
Khan.
SRK
had
also
made
a
guest
appearance
in
Karan's
last
directorial
Ae
Dil
Hai
Mushkil.
