Mumbai : The popular streaming chat show “Koffee With Karan” host and Bollywood producer-director Karan Johar (KJo) shared on the show his fanboy moment with the late actress Sridevi.
The sibling duo of Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor will be seen lounging on the couch in an upcoming episode of the show. Throughout the episode, KJo shares his unwavering love for their cherished mother, Sridevi.
He also shares how, upon meeting Sridevi for the first time, he was enthralled with her aura.
One thing I must admit, you are aware of; I have repeatedly expressed how insanely and deeply infatuated I was with your mother. I was a huge fan of hers.
“You all have lived through different beats of technology. But for me, the video phase was the cinema halls. Nobody in the side of town that I lived in used to go and watch Hindi movies. That was the phase where your mom and Jeetu ji did movies. I’ve seen all of them,” ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ director said.
“The time when I saw her finally, in ‘Mr. India’, it was a premiere and the next time in cinema, and I was like, Oh God, I think I’m obsessed. So the first time I met her was actually in 1993 when she did a film for my dad, called ‘Gumrah’ and I went to this photoshoot that Rakesh Shreshtha was shooting and my knees were rattling, because I was so nervous. My dad introduced me and I don’t know what I said or what I have done and that’s also the first day I met Manish Malhotra in my entire life.”
“I thought he was really snooty and snobbish because I said, she’s looking fabulous. He was like go, tell her and I was like, I can’t just walk up to Sridevi and you’re looking great. I couldn’t do it,” KJo added.
