Filmmaker Karan Johar created a stir online with his bold fashion statement during a dinner outing with friends in Mumbai. Accompanied by interior designer Gauri Khan and television personality Malaika Arora, Karan sported a white full-sleeved T-shirt emblazoned with the phrase “Nepo Baby.” The group was spotted exiting a posh restaurant, with paparazzi capturing the moment.
Karan paired his cheeky T-shirt with black trousers and sneakers, adding a touch of casual elegance. Gauri looked stunning in a golden dress layered with a matching blazer, while Malaika turned heads in a striking long red bodycon dress.
The internet was quick to react to Karan’s outfit, with fans flooding social media with comments. “Finally, wearing his Nepo Baby shirt proudly,” one fan wrote. Another quipped, “Lol, KJo’s top is really on point haan (yes). He’s proud to be a nepo baby.” Some users also noted Karan’s recent weight loss, with one remarking, “He has lost so much weight.”

The ‘Nepo Baby’ Trend
Karan’s T-shirt seems to draw inspiration from the global trend popularized by Hailey Bieber. In January 2023, Hailey was seen in Los Angeles wearing a cropped “Nepo Baby” T-shirt, which she styled with denim. Her outfit sparked conversations on nepotism in the entertainment industry, with Bollywood star Alia Bhatt notably liking a post featuring Hailey’s look.
Karan Johar’s bold sartorial choices have often made headlines. Earlier, he dazzled the runway at the Ajio Luxe Wkend alongside actor Sidharth Malhotra. Karan wore an all-white ensemble comprising a satin shirt, trousers, and a blazer trench, accessorized with a diamond necklace and an emerald brooch.
Upcoming Projects
On the professional front, Karan Johar is gearing up to direct an untitled Netflix India series, with production set to begin soon. His last directorial, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023), was a critical and commercial success.
As a producer, Karan continues to dominate the industry with projects like Kill, Yodha, Mr. & Mrs. Mahi, and Jigra. He is also producing Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, directed by Sameer Vidwans and starring Kartik Aaryan, set for a 2026 worldwide release.
With his bold choices and a packed slate, Karan Johar remains one of Bollywood’s most talked-about figures.
