Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has always been known for his loyalty and generosity in the film industry. Recently, filmmaker Viveck Vaswani recalled an emotional and intense moment when SRK stood by Karan Johar during a crisis that could have ended Dharma Productions forever.
In a recent interview, Viveck Vaswani shared how Shah Rukh Khan once refused to work with director Mahesh Bhatt due to creative differences but later agreed to help Karan Johar when he was struggling to get his debut film made.
According to Vaswani, Karan Johar was panicking at the time and reached out to Shah Rukh Khan in desperation. Karan reportedly told him, “My dad will die if this film doesn’t work.” SRK, deeply moved by the situation, immediately agreed to work on ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, which went on to become a historic blockbuster and a defining film for Dharma Productions.
This single act not only rescued Karan Johar’s career but also saved Dharma Productions from collapse. SRK’s involvement transformed the film into a massive hit, laying the foundation for a long-lasting collaboration between him and Karan Johar.
Vaswani praised SRK’s humility and emotional intelligence, saying, “Shah Rukh never forgets people who stood by him. He’s a man of his word and heart.”
