On the 20th anniversary of his father Yash Johar’s passing, filmmaker Karan Johar shared a heartfelt note on Instagram, reflecting on the life lessons imparted by his late father. He recounted his biggest fear of losing a parent coming true when Yash Johar was diagnosed with a malignant tumor on August 2, 2003. Despite trying to stay positive, Karan’s instincts told him the gravity of the situation. Yash Johar passed away ten months later, leaving behind a legacy of love and goodwill that Karan and his mother continue to uphold.
In his emotional caption, Karan expressed pride in being the son of a man who valued relationships above all else and lamented that his father never got to meet his grandchildren. However, he finds solace in knowing that Yash Johar is watching over them.
The post garnered heartfelt reactions from many celebrities. Priyanka Chopra, Ayesha Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Janhvi Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Arjit Taneja, Sonu Sood, Manish Malhotra, and Diana Penty all showed their support with comments and heart emojis. Earlier, on Father’s Day, Karan also shared cherished photos with his father, expressing how Yash Johar’s qualities continue to guide him, especially in raising his children, Yash and Roohi.
