Amitabh Bachchan reminisces Yash Johar
Shares fond memories
Factually speaking there are few namaste in Bollywood that needs no introduction.
To cite one name is veteran filmmaker late Yash Johar. The late legendary filmmaker touched many lives with his work and left a lasting impression on the film fraternity.
Recently, on his death anniversary, when
connected with Amitabh Bachchan to share some fond memories of Yash Johar, his instant reaction was – “Gosh, how many years has it been since the Hindi cinema namaste to lost him?”
Adding that beautiful smile has not faded from memory. We need that smile more than ever before, now in these troubled times,” he added.
Further, he went on to share their acquaintance saying how he and Yash Johar came to know each other, Amitabh shared, “he feels proud that he was a part of his first independent production, Dostana and infact he. knew him through his wife Hiroo, who is again an exemplary woman. She was part of his Q¹qq1qcircle of friends when they were all young and adventurous.
He looked upon “Hiroo as an amazing woman and a terrific partner to Yashji and were inseparable. Jaya and remain close to Hiroo and, of course, her son, whom all know as Karan Johar.
After Dostana, Amitabh Bachchan worked with Karan in ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.’ While speaking about it, he shared, that it was amazing to see that boy (KJo) in shorts grow into a filmmaker of such potential. Karan was very nervous initially when he started shooting with Jaya and himself. But as the film progressed, he became progressively confident.”
However, amidst the shoot there was something that troubled not just Amitabh Bachchan but also his wife. He said, “Jaya and he were very upset about the way they were forced to accept money for the film. It’s very difficult for them to discuss money with either Adi (Chopra) or Karan. It’s like negotiating money with son Abhishek.”
Seeing Karan grow into such a fine human being and such a successful entertainer must be making his father smile from up there concluded Amitabh Bachchan.
