Yash Johar and Karan Johar’s hard work and resilience have made Dharma Productions one of the biggest production houses in Bollywood. However, that was not always the case. Yash Johar had put his blood and sweat into making his company into a profitable business venture.
Nikkhil Advani reveals about Karan Johar’s difficult time
Dharma Production has become one of the biggest production houses today. However, before Karan started making movies for the company in the late 1990s, Dharma went through a really rough patch. In a recent interview with Lehren Retro, Nikkhil Advani shared that there was a time when Karan Johar’s house was mortgaged, and his mother, Hiroo, had a heart attack. He revealed that things were so bad that Karan even had to sell some of his camera and light equipment to get some funds. He was quoted saying:
“I remember Karan (Johar) telling me that there was a time when he sold his lights and camera. He had mortgaged his house. Hiroo Aunty had a heart attack. I think Amit ji met Yash uncle and asked him, ‘How is Hiroo?’. They were both very close as they were school friends. Yash uncle told him, ‘She is in Breach Candy hospital.’ Amitji left his shoot and rushed to see her in the hospital.”
