In this fantastic interview reflecting on the brilliant masterpiece, My Name is Khan as it hits 15 years, Subhash K Jha talks with Karan Johar. The director shares intriguing facts about the making of the film, what it was like working with Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, and so much more!

How do you recall your best film?

My Name Is Khan wasn’t easy. It’s the socio-political journey of Shah Rukh’s character, Rizwan, from the age of 4 to 40. In his journey, Shah Rukh encounters major political upheavals, from a communal riot in India to 9/11 in the US. But my film is not about any specific political event. Nor is it about the Asperger’s Syndrome. My hero is autistic. He couldn’t be neurotypical because he had to see life with direct honesty and clarity denied to normal people. My Name is Khan excited me. For the first...

Has Aditya Chopra made a single great film in his career so far? Even Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, is it deserving of the popularity it has wrangled? We haven’t seen Aditya Chopra direct a truly outstanding film since forever. Mohabbatein had come five years after Ddlj. And Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi which this writer considers Adi Chopra’s finest, came eight years after Mohabbatein.

At 3 hours 36 minutes and with two intervals for much-needed respite, Mohabbatein is a slog. There is no other way to describe this overblown exhausting and pointless campus confectionary . Set in an imaginary boarding school named Gurukul (how kul is that!) Mohabbatein had Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan crossing swords over Aishwarya Rai who was so fatigued by the blistering bickering between the two men in her life, that she simply jumped off the nearest balcony, only to return as a ghost singing Lataji...

Squid Game Season 2 was released in December 2024 and has barely left the headlines.

But when you start shooting they were not up to the mark. But I feel today when I look back I think every project every scene every film every song is taught you something and no matter how bad the endproduct, it has taught you something and probably made you what you are today and I think I take full responsibility for anything wrong I might have done earlier on in my career.

How does one even begin to define the 2000s in Hindi cinema? The decade that started with “Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai!” and ended with “3 Idiots?” The decade that gave us Bipasha Basu and Rakhi Sawant and took away Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai? The decade of “Tere Bina” but also of “No Entry?” Cinema contains multitudes, but the aughts in Bollywood were a multiverse, and nowhere is that clearer than in the best musical numbers of the decade.

Curating this list was not easy — just ask the editors who waited patiently for a draft that I was not able to produce because I was busy swapping out “Kal Ho Naa Ho” songs until the last possible second. Some basic guidelines: This is a list of musical numbers, Not songs — the song obviously matters,...

Abcl started functioning and planned huge projects. It was valued at 60 crore in 1996, according to a report in Business Insider, and Big B planned to take it to 1000 crore worth by the year 2000. While this projection was highly ambitious, so were his projects that were planned.

How Amitabh Bachchan Earned 3110 Crore From Zero Bank Balance – Recalling When He Went Bankrupt With 90 Crore Debt ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Amitabh Bachchan recently grabbed headlines for two reasons – One for finally bidding goodbye to his game show Kaun Banega Crorepati and two for gifting his bungalow Prateeksha to his daughter Shweta Bachchan, making his net worth drop by around 60 crores, the worth of the ancestral house. While scrolling through the internet, we found out that this house would have been sold when the superstar was going through a financial crunch, eventually making him bankrupt!

Yes, you read that right. The biggest superstar of this country, who enjoys a net worth of 3110 crore, once went bankrupt with zero bank balance in his account. It was the worst time in his life, with creditors banging on doors and his house on the verge of getting sold.

In the 90s, Amitabh Bachchan started a business venture called Abcl.

New Delhi, Dec 29 (Ians) Megastar Amitabh Bachchan shared an anecdote about the veteran actress Helen, and talked about how she had escaped from the Japanese occupation of Burma in 1943, during the World War 2, and came to India.

Helen is a well known dancer and is known for her character roles. Born in Rangoon, Burma (now known as Myanmar),

Helen’s family trekked to Dibrugarh, Assam in 1943 in order to escape from the Japanese occupation of Burma.

Later on, Helen got her major break at the age of 19 in 1958, when she performed on the song ‘Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu’ in the movie ‘Howrah Bridge’.

With legendary actor Shammi Kapoor, she did many hit dance numbers like ‘Suku Suku’ in ‘Junglee’, ‘Yamma Yamma’ in ‘China Town’, and ‘O Haseena Zulfonwali’ in ‘Teesri Manzil’.

Amitabh, who is currently hosting the quiz based reality show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 15’ welcomed the roll over contestant...

Actress Karuna Pandey, who is currently a part of celebrity dance reality show ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’ delighted the audience by performing the hook step of the track ‘Hum Tere Deewane Hai’ from the movie ‘Mohabbatein’ along with Archana Puran Singh and Farah Khan.

The 2000 musical romantic drama stars Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Aishwarya Rai in the lead roles. It also features Archana as Preeto. This weekend the show enthralled viewers with the ‘Wedding Special’ episode.

Actors and power couple Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi were seen on the episode as the special guests.

In true Tollywood style, expression queen, Karuna captivated the audience with her ‘Sami Sami’ act, along with choreographer Vivek Chachere. The performance promised to be a visual extravaganza, blending high-energy dance moves with the grace and elegance that Karuna is known.

Enthralled by the act, judge Malaika Arora said: “Karuna, I think you can do anything.

Confessing her love for King Khan, quiz-based show ‘Kbc 15’ contestant Sonal Mahnot sought pardon from megastar and host Amitabh Bachchan and said “whole world is your fan but I am fan of Shah Rukh Khan”.

In the episode 81 of the show, Big B welcomed Sonal from Guwahati, Assam to the hot seat.

For Rs 2,000, she was asked: “What is the relation between Vikram and Azad, the two roles played by Shah Rukh Khan in the film Jawan?”

The options given were- Brothers, Father-son, Grandfather-grandson, and Uncle-nephew. The correct answer was father-son.

Amitabh then said: “You have a broad smile after hearing Shah Rukh Khan’s name. Please tell us about Shah Rukh Khan as you’re a big fan. Who isn’t!”
