He mentioned that the he has seen "The Devil Wears Prada" over 40 times.

"I have watched The Devil Wears Prada no less than 47 times. I have quoted it at dinner tables, in edit suites and in board meetings (no kidding!) So when I tell you that standing next to HER & them today, I felt the ground shift, please believe me."

The Indian filmmaker said his knees were rattling upon meeting Streep.

"I tried very hard to be calm and composed but here's a another confession - my knees were RATTLING! They were both so warm and welcoming."

"This image is going in my will. Stay tuned, there's so much more...because I had a chat with the favourites of the season. OH and one more thing...that's all #TheDevilWearsPrada2 #MerylStreep @annehathaway."

The Devil Wears Prada first released in 2006. The film was based on the 2003 novel by Lauren Weisberger. The film stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt.

47 times? That's some serious dedication! I thought my 5-time watch of '3 Idiots' was a lot. Karan's passion for cinema, across borders, is really inspiring.

While it's a sweet fan moment, I wish our top filmmakers showed this much public admiration for the legendary actors and technicians within our own Indian film industry. We have so many gurus here too.

"My knees were rattling" - that's exactly how I felt when I met Shah Rukh Khan at an event! Fandom is universal. Can't wait for the sequel!

The original film is a masterpiece. Miranda Priestly is an icon. Glad to see Indian artists engaging with global cinema. Hope this energy translates into more nuanced characters in his own movies.

Haha, "going in my will" – typical dramatic Karan Johar style! But it's heartwarming. Makes me want to rewatch Devil Wears Prada this weekend. 🍿
