Karan Johar shares a reflective note on pre-social media life, reminiscing about letters, books, and genuine appreciation. Read his thoughts here.

"Sometimes I think of those pre-social media days with love and longing... - Karan Johar"

Mumbai, May 15

Karan Johar appears to be in a reflective mood over the pre-social media era. The filmmaker recently took to his social media account and shared a nostalgic note, reminiscing about life before the social media era.

Sharing the post on his social media story, Karan wrote, "Sometimes I think of those pre-social media days with love and longing.... When posting was in a letter box, when scrolling was a book or a notepad, when followers were for a worthy cause or even a guru, when likes were genuine appreciation, when the gram was just a weight and not baggage Those were the days...."

Professionally, Karan Johar is touted as one of Bollywood's most influential filmmakers, producers, talk show hosts, and entrepreneurs.

The filmmaker, through his production house Dharma Productions, founded by his father Yash Johar, has delivered some of Hindi cinema's biggest blockbusters.

Karan, who has also directed movies, made his directorial debut with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, followed by Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, My Name Is Khan, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and others.

Karan's late father, Yash Johar, was a respected producer who backed films such as Dostana, Agneepath, Duplicate, and Kal Ho Naa Ho. It was Yash Johar's vision and passion for cinema that laid the foundation of Dharma Productions, which Karan later expanded into one of the biggest banners in Indian entertainment.

Before stepping into direction, Karan worked as an assistant director on the superhit movie 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge', directed by Aditya Chopra.

Karan had also made a small acting appearance in the iconic film.

Apart from filmmaking, Karan has built a huge fan base as the host of his celebrity chat show Koffee with Karan, which he has been hosting for almost two decades.

On the personal front, Karan is also a proud father to twins, Yash Johar and Roohi Johar.

So true! Social media has become such a burden sometimes. We used to enjoy life without constantly comparing ourselves to others. But honestly, Karan sir, you probably miss the old days when you didn't have to deal with trolls. 😄 Your films are still great though!

Nostalgia hits hard! 📸💭 As someone who grew up in India before smartphones, I remember the joy of developing film rolls at the photo studio. But let's be real - Karan Johar made his career using social media too. A bit ironic, no? Still, beautifully written words.

Kabhi kabhi aise posts dekh ke dil chhoo jata hai. Karan sir knows how to connect with the audience, be it through Koffee with Karan or this emotional note. Those were simpler times indeed. 🙏

I completely resonate with this! Living in Canada now, I often think back to childhood summers in India without phones. We'd play in the streets and visit relatives. Social media has made the world smaller but sometimes it feels like it's taken away real connections. Beautiful perspective from Karan.

"When the gram was just a weight" - that line is pure poetry! But I have to say, Karan sir, you and many celebs have contributed to this 'baggage' culture on Instagram. Still, it's refreshing to see a Bollywood bigwig acknowledge the good old days. More power to you! ✨
