Bollywood Filmmaker Karan Johar had always been one of the most multi-talented personalities in the film industry. This time, he is in the news for sharing a wrong fact about Amitabh Bachchan. Being a megastar, Amit Ji couldn’t stop himself to correct Karan.
Big B is undoubtedly one of the most respected personalities in Bollywood. He has worked in many films with almost every renowned name in the industry. We all know Karan Johar happens to be one of the persons with whom Big B shares a special bonding, more so because he has worked with both Karan and his father Yash Johar in his career.
In a recent episode of Unforgettables TV Show, Karan interacted with filmmaker Ramesh Sippy. During the interview, Karan remembered something related to his father and Amit Ji. He told that his father used to speak in Punjabi with everyone. Karan also mentioned that Amit Ji also spoke fluent Punjabi when he was not a Punjabi.
“My father only spoke in Punjabi to actors, directors, film distributors and producers. Every morning he spoke in Punjabi loudly and I said, ‘Is everybody in this film industry Punjabi?’ Everybody had that kind of feeling down to the fact that Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, who is not a Punjabi, spoke fluent Punjabi. Because it was like when you’re in Rome do as the Romans do.” Soon, the promo aired.
