Karan Johar Admits Rani Mukerji’s Husband Still Intimidates Him at 53
Rani Mukerji is currently garnering attention as she prepares for the release of her upcoming film, Mardaani 3. The recent trailer has generated considerable excitement among her fans, drawing her back into the spotlight. In a casual conversation with filmmaker Karan Johar at Yash Raj Studios, Rani’s personal life and her husband, Aditya Chopra, were brought into focus.
Karan Johar Discusses Aditya Chopra’s Intimidation Factor
Karan Johar playfully referred to Aditya Chopra as Bollywood’s “invisible man.” His low public profile stands in sharp contrast to his influence within the industry. Karan highlighted Aditya’s keen interest in maintaining his privacy, which adds an element of intimidation for those around him.
Details of the Secluded Wedding
- Wedding Location: Italy
- Number of Guests: 18
- Media Secrecy: Strictly enforced, with Karan warned against leaks
Karan shared a memorable anecdote about attending Rani and Aditya’s secret wedding. He faced immense pressure given that his film, 2 States, was releasing around the same time. Karan cleverly disguised his trip to Italy by claiming he was traveling to Manchester. However, his plan nearly unraveled when he encountered the late Rishi Kapoor at the airport, leading to a humorous and nerve-wracking moment.
Aditya Chopra’s Influence in Bollywood
Despite the years that have passed, Karan admitted that Aditya still has a significant effect on him. At 53, he experiences nervousness whenever Aditya calls, especially if addressed by his full name. Karan humorously noted that this often means he is about to face a reprimand from the powerful producer.
Aditya Chopra has led Yash Raj Films since 2012, following the death of his father, Yash Chopra. Under his stewardship, the studio has grown into one of India’s leading production houses, even as he continues to shun the spotlight.
Looking Ahead
With Mardaani 3 set for release on January 30, Rani Mukerji’s presence and discussions about her personal life add layers to her public persona. Conversations like those between her and Karan Johar offer rare insights into the lives of Bollywood’s most influential figures.
