Karan Johar walks down memory lane with Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, calls ‘my learnings about love'
Those who follow filmmaker Karan Johar on social media will be aware of the fact that, just a few days ago, he walked down memory lane and posted a photograph of himself with Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji from the sets of his film.
He had captioned the post as, ‘Being a bystander to such incredible talent has been my hugest learning curve…. I look back with indelible memories and gratitude. Not a single day I haven’t thanked the universe, Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan for convincing me that I could be a story teller and attempt to direct my childhood dreams on celluloid …’.
Today, Karan Johar chose to walk the nostalgic path again. This time with his film Ae Dil hai Mushkil., He wrote a long post stating, ‘ Ae Dil hai Mushkil will always be personal to me…
It was all my life learnings about falling in love, dealing with unrequited love and also how resilient we can be even when the heartbreak feels so final…’
He continued, ‘The experience of filming ADHM was one of my best on set experiences ..
I got to know and understand “the Ranbir process” and deeply respect it…. He never let his homework or his hard work apparent to anyone … I got to know and love him as a person and appreciate his detachment from stardom or movie star trappings… his child like portrayal of a broken hearted lover went beyond the written word… Anushka and him were such a treat to direct … they have mutual friendship and respect which transcended from personal to celluloid perfectly!’
He added, ‘Anushka is pure hearted and that always come through on screen..I always wanted to direct Aishwarya and she gave Saba so much dignity , poise and beauty ! Will always be immensely grateful to her for accepting to play the part instantly and with so much love and team spirit ..I look back at the days of filming ADHM with a big smile and a cathartic heart … the music will live on and I can take no credit from the magic and genius of Dada and Amitabh … Is film ke zikar ka zubaan pe swaad rakhna ….’
