SHOCKING! When An Underworld Don Threatened Karan Johar & Shahrukh Khan Almost Took A Bullet For Him

When Karan Johar's Mother Got A Call From The Underworld

"On Monday, we were writing out the cards, dispatching them through production. My maasi had come to the house to help us. I went down to drop her. My mother was alone at home, even the servants were not there, and all of them had gone out.''

''The phone rang. My mother picked it up, and it was a call from the underworld. A man's voice said, ‘Your son's wearing a red T-shirt, I can see him right now. And we're going to shoot him if you release this film on Friday.'"

The Call Was From Abu Salem

"For some reason, they didn't want the film to be released that Friday; we didn't know why. It was a call from Abu Salem, and my mother was shaking with terror. She put the phone down and ran towards the door.''

''She pressed the lift number, and I was coming up. As I came up those nine floors, she was going through really tough moments. When I reached, she just dragged me to the room and said, ‘You have to call the cops. This call has come and they said they're going to shoot you, they don't want you to release your film this Friday...'"

When Karan Johar Contacted Shahrukh & Aditya

"That evening, my father, Shahrukh, the cops, Adi, everybody was there. The cops advised us, ‘We will protect you but you have to go ahead. You can't show your fear. You have to have the premiere on Thursday.'''

''But my mother said, ‘What does this mean?' We were a simple family. We'd never had the underworld calling us to stop the release of a film. We'd never dreamt that something like this could even happen to us. My mother said, ‘We don't want all this nonsense.'"

At The Premiere Karan Johar Was Kept In A Small Room For Protection

As planned, the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai premiere had taken place but Karan Johar was kept in a small room with two security guards for his protection. Later, his mother spoke to Shahrukh Khan about Karan's absence and why the cops had decided to keep him away from the premiere.

Karan Johar adds, "Shahrukh said, ‘What nonsense!' He went inside and dragged me out. He said, ‘I'm standing here in front of you. Let's see who shoots you. I'm standing right here. ''

''‘I said, ‘No, no, no, my mother was...' He told my mother, ‘Nothing's gonna happen. I'm a Pathan. Nothing can happen to me and nothing will happen to your son. He's like my brother. Nothing's gonna happen.'"
