Karan Johar‘s company Dharma Productions is one of the top production houses today in Hindi cinema. It won’t be wrong to say that Karan has not only taken his father’s legacy forward but also took it to another level in the last few years. KJo’s father Yash Johar had passed away in June 2004 due to Cancer. Karan had confessed in an interview that when his father passed away, he didn’t know anything about the finances of Dharma and couldn’t even sign a cheque.In an emotional note today, Karan has showered love on Apoorva Mehta who helped him fulfill his father’s dream.
Apoorva is the CEO of Dharma Productions and Karan penned a note thanking him and his wife Bijal. Karan wrote, “When my father passed away in 2004… he left a void that perhaps can never be filled … on an emotional impulse I called my best friend @apoorva1972 who was based in the UK and very settled with his wife Bijal… I said “I need you … I have no family to help me build my fathers dream … Dharma productions” without even a pause he said “ I will be there “ and just like that overnight Bijal and him changed their settled life to walk into an unknown territory and as we enter 2024 I want to take this moment to express my deepest love and gratitude to both of them for being emotional and professional pillars to me in my most trying and challenging times!”

Karan had also said in an interview that while he sees the creative aspects of the company, it’s Apoorva who takes care of all his finances. Karan’s note further read, “Thank you Aps! My father would have been so proud of us … just knowing that we could keep it together and do our best to build his dream….love you and thank you! Happy new year to us and the entire @dharmamovies @dharma2pointo @dharmaticent @dcatalent families! You are all the reason we stand firmly on our feet!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
In 2023, Karan made his directorial comeback after seven years with ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani‘.
