¡®Karan Johar Is The Sima Taparia Of Showbiz¡¯, Says Twinkle Khanna Revealing Why She Skips KWK
Filmmaker Karan Johar is known for playing cupid to so many Bollywood couples. He¡¯s known to have made successful matches in the industry and that has made Twinkle Khanna call him the ¡®Sima Aunty¡¯ of movie businesses. For the unversed, Sima Taparia is a popular matchmaker from Netflix¡¯s reality show Indian Matchmaking.
In a conversation for Tweak India, Twinkle Khanna called out Karan for fixing matches in showbiz.
She said, ¡°You are the Sima aunty of the movie business. You keep doing this matchmaking and your father did the same thing. When I was speaking to Waheeda Rahman, she mentioned that your father fixed up her marriage, it¡¯s some genetic predisposition to get people together.¡±
Agreeing with Twinkle, Karan laughed and replied, ¡°I take on the responsibility like I have to do it. It just makes me very happy to do it. It¡¯s like one of the agendas in my life. Vidya (Balan) called me the other day. It was her 12th anniversary, and I had introduced her to Siddharth Roy Kapoor. I was so touched by this call, more than any feedback for a film.¡±
When asked about some budding matches in Bollywood, Karan found a way to divert the conversation and find a balance to his anticipated revelations. Johar said, ¡°I don¡¯t think they would like me to go public with that information. Contrary to public opinion, there¡¯s a lot that I keep secret to myself.¡±
Twinkle even found her chance to mock Karan for asking constant questions about sex on his show Koffee with Karan and said¡
¡°Who would you rather sleep with, Aamir Khan or Shah Rukh Khan?¡± KJo was stunned and said, ¡°I¡¯ve never asked that, how can I ask that?¡± KJo then tried turning the tables around on her and she answered, ¡°I am not going to answer, that¡¯s why I don¡¯t come on Koffee with Karan.¡±
Before his father and veteran producer Yash Johar passed away in 2004, Karan reveals to have had no clues about the funds and finances of Dharma Productions.
Karan shared, ¡°I had come from my first award show and I had signed quite a few autographs, rather enjoyed doing it. Those were non-selfie days. I came back to the office and he (his father) asked me to sign a few cheques. I had signed ¡®lots of Love¡¯ on the cheques.¡±
¡°So my father barged in and said, ¡®They don¡¯t want your love, they want your money. I was so used to signing autographs that I wrote ¡®lots of love¡¯ on a cheque too. When my father passed away, I sat in my office and met my chartered accountant for the first time,¡± Karan concluded.
