‘Koffee With Karan 8’: Karan Johar addresses feud with Kajol, Kareena Kapoor; shares how they patched up

Filmmaker Karan Johar shares a strong bond with actors Kajol and Kareena Kapoor. In the latest episode of his chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’, Karan opened up about their past differences and revealed how they patched up.

Karan shared that he had differences with Kareena when she chose to star in ‘Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon’ over his film ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’. He revealed that they did not ‘speak for a year and a half’.

Karan shared that after his father Yash Johar got diagnosed with cancer, Kareena called him.

‘It was only when my father was diagnosed with cancer that actually she called me. She was silent, I was silent. She was like ‘I don’t know what to say’. I said ‘Don’t say anything, I know you are there’,’ he said.

He added that after his father passed away, Kareena came to see him and they were back where they had left things off.

‘When he passed away, she was in Bangkok and we hadn’t still met. The day she landed from her shoot, she came home and we spent all night chatting and we went back to where we were,’ Karan added said.

Karan and Kareena had spoken about their fight in the first season of ‘Koffee with Karan’ in 2004.

Karan also opened up about his fallout with Kajol, which he had discussed even in his 2016 memoir, ‘An Unsuitable Boy. Kajol and Karan’s friendship turned sour after ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ clashed with Ajay Devgn’s film ‘Shivaay’.

Karan said it was only after the birth of Karan’s twins Yash and Roohi in 2017 that Karan reached out to Kajol and she reciprocated.

‘I remember messaging Kajol when my babies were born and I hadn’t spoken to her for 2 years and I sent her images of Yash and Roohi. I said ‘You don’t need to reply but this is what my children look like – Yash and Roohi. And she messaged back and said ‘I’m just full of love right now’,’ he shared.

A month later, Kajol messaged ‘It’s my birthday but you don’t need to come’. ‘I went and we hugged, we cried, it was done,’ he shared.
