  • Dad put relationships over films: KJo
On his father Yash Johar's 85th birth anniversary, filmmaker Karan Johar reminisced how he used to always give precedence to relationships over movies. He says it's a "tall order" to follow.
 
"Dad's birthday today...his stand was always to put relationships over films...a tall order to follow...I still try...miss him more than ever," Karan tweeted Saturday.
 
Yash Johar, who died in 2004, founded Dharma Productions in 1976. He produced films like
"Dostana" (1981), "Agneepath" (1990), "Hum" (1991), "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" (1998), "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham" (2001) and "Kal Ho Naa Ho" (2003).
