Filmmaker Karan Johar has been using his social media platforms to share personal reflections and philosophical thoughts, offering his followers a deeper glimpse into his mindset. On Tuesday, Johar posted a thought-provoking quote on his Instagram Stories that encouraged self-reliance and the importance of positive relationships. The message read: “Surround yourself with the best people you can find, but also know how to be happy alone.”
This recent post follows a pattern of introspective content from the filmmaker. Just a day before, Karan shared another poignant thought: “The conversation you are avoiding is the one you need the most.” This cryptic message seemed to reflect Johar’s ongoing contemplative state, where he has frequently used social media to hint at deeper personal reflections and challenges.
Johar’s cryptic posts are not limited to philosophical musings. A few weeks ago, he shared another ambiguous message after the announcement of a significant business deal involving his production company, Dharma Productions. The deal saw billionaire businessman Adar Poonawalla’s Serene Productions acquiring a 50 percent stake in Dharma Productions and its subsidiary, Dharmatic Entertainment, for a massive sum of Rs 1,000 crore. Following the announcement, Johar posted a mysterious message that seemed to speak to his thoughts on change and the evolving dynamics of his business ventures.
Previously, Karan also addressed public controversies through similar indirect posts. In one instance, he appeared to respond to Divya Khosla Kumar’s criticism of Alia Bhatt over the success of Jigra with a cryptic Instagram update that left fans speculating about the filmmaker’s response to the public spat.
In addition to his personal reflections, Johar continues to focus on his professional endeavours. Recently, he unveiled details about his upcoming film Chand Mera Dil, a passionate love story starring Ananya Panday and Lakshya Lalwani. Directed by Vivek Soni, the film is slated for release in 2025. The first poster of the movie, shared by Johar, shows the lead actors in intimate, cozy settings, promising an intense love story. Johar described the film as one that would explore a unique and passionate romance, adding that “pyaar mein thoda paagal hona hi padta hai”—in love, one must be a little crazy.
Chand Mera Dil is Johar’s latest venture, marking the fourth film from Dharma Productions to star Lakshya, following Dostana 2, Bedhadak, and Kill. Fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming film, which promises to bring a fresh narrative to the big screen.
