In recent weeks, Bollywood director and producer Karan Johar has been opening up on social media, sharing philosophical reflections that resonate with his fans. On Tuesday, Johar posted an inspiring message on his Instagram Stories, emphasizing the importance of surrounding oneself with positive influences, while also embracing solitude.
His quote read, “Surround yourself with the best people you can find, but also know how to be happy alone.” This message is the latest in a series of reflective posts, with the filmmaker often revealing a more introspective side.
Earlier this week, Johar shared another thoughtful insight, encouraging followers to face uncomfortable truths.
He posted, “The conversation you are avoiding is the one you need the most.” These statements suggest that Karan Johar, who is known for his dynamic work and public image, is embracing a more contemplative phase, often sharing wisdom and advice for self-reflection.
Johar’s recent posts come at a time of significant change for his company, Dharma Productions. Recently, the acquisition of a 50 percent stake in Dharma by Adar Poonawalla’s Serene Productions was announced.
The deal, reportedly worth Rs 1,000 crore, includes both Dharma Productions and its digital arm, Dharmatic Entertainment. Following the news of this acquisition, Johar shared another cryptic message on Instagram, fueling speculation about his feelings on the partnership.
In addition to business developments, Johar seemed to address a recent controversy indirectly through social media, responding to Divya Khosla Kumar’s criticism of Alia Bhatt regarding her film Jigra with a subtle yet impactful post.
