Karan Johar Reflects on Fashion Regrets and Praises Bhansali's Costume Artistry
Renowned filmmaker Karan Johar, celebrated for his blockbuster movies and distinctive fashion flair, has recently shared candid insights into his style choices, expressing regret over a particular outfit from his milestone 50th birthday celebration. Known for turning heads at events and airports alike, Johar's fashion journey has been a topic of fascination, but he now admits to a misstep that left him feeling like a 'disco ball.'
Johar's Candid Admission on His Birthday Look
In a lively rapid-fire interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Johar was asked about a look he wishes he hadn't worn. Without hesitation, he pointed to the green, shiny sequin Dolce and Gabbana jacket he sported at his 50th birthday party. Laughing at the memory, Johar described the sparkling ensemble as making him resemble a 'disco ball' and confessed to regretting it whenever he sees photos from the event.
He elaborated, 'For my 50th, I wore this green, shiny sequin Dolce and Gabbana jacket. I swear I looked like a disco ball in that. I regret it now when I see the photos. I'm like, what was I thinking? I'm looking mad. I wanted to wear something shiny, and I think glam was the theme or whatever. I don't even remember, but I look back, and I'm like I wasn't pulling it off, and then of course, there are 10,000 other looks that have fallen flat on their face.' This honest reflection highlights the playful yet self-critical side of the filmmaker's personality.
Praise for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Cinematic Costumes
Shifting gears to more positive fashion notes, Johar was also questioned about recent films whose costumes impressed him. He immediately named Sanjay Leela Bhansali, lauding the director's meticulous attention to detail and visual aesthetics. Johar expressed deep admiration, stating, 'Always what Bhansali does. Every movie of his, the costumes are just outstanding. He's a filmmaker I truly regard as one of the most aesthetic voices.' This praise underscores Bhansali's reputation for creating visually stunning cinematic experiences.
Upcoming Projects and Professional Endeavors
On the professional front, Johar last directed the 2023 hit 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,' starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. Reports suggest he is preparing to return to the director's chair with 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham 2,' though an official announcement is still pending. This potential sequel has sparked excitement among fans, eager to see Johar's next cinematic venture.
Johar's openness about his fashion regrets and admiration for fellow filmmakers offers a glimpse into the multifaceted world of Bollywood, where style and storytelling often intertwine. His reflections serve as a reminder that even fashion icons have moments they'd rather forget, while his professional projects continue to generate anticipation in the entertainment industry.
