Karan Johar goes down memory lane
Taking to Instagram, Karan posted a series of throwback pictures with friends from his younger years, one of which also featured his mother, Hiroo Johar.
For the caption, he wrote: “The simplest, heartfelt and innocent times most of us have spent have been in our respective schools and colleges….”
He continued: “My friends from those days know me and each other in the purest way possible … our indelible memories make us laugh and feel joyous in a way that is so inexplicable…. They are a safe place and a comfort zone that draw me back to the days where there was no judgment or any expectations ( or social media for that matter ) …”
Acknowledging that they don’t meet often, the filmmaker said, “The feeling is always the same.”
“All relationships are special and I am grateful to each and every one of my beautiful friendships…. But the GHS and HR college days are etched in my heart …. Forever… I am grateful that my past is in my present and the future has to therefore sparkle ….”
Tagging his friends in the post, Karan noted that they appear in the pictures and added he feels “blessed to have many more from my school and college… they know who they are.”
