Meanwhile, Kajol, who has collaborated with Karan Johar on several films over the years, also posted a cheerful picture with the director on Instagram.
Sharing a candid image of Karan planting a kiss on her cheek, Kajol wrote, "Happy Happy birthday Karan. Most of the pics we have together are blurry, probably because we both can't stay still long enough."
Karan Johar is regarded as one of Bollywood's most successful filmmakers and has directed several iconic films, including 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...', 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna', 'My Name Is Khan', 'Student of the Year', Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
Notably, Karan has become India's first filmmaker to attend the prestigious Met Gala. Johar attended the Met Gala on May 4, 2026, in a custom-designed ensemble by designer Manish Malhotra. The look was inspired by the works of legendary artist Raja Ravi Varma and featured hand-painted gold motifs, intricate zardozi embroidery and a dramatic six-foot cape. The 2026 Met Gala theme was "Costume Art," with the dress code "Fashion is Art."Johar's ensemble interpreted classical Indian drapery through contemporary couture while drawing visual references from Ravi Varma's paintings.

Honestly, the Met Gala outfit was a masterpiece! Raja Ravi Varma inspiration with zardozi embroidery—pure genius. Karan Johar really put Indian fashion on the global map. Proud moment for all of us.
Happy birthday KJo! But honestly, we need more films like 'My Name Is Khan' and less of the same old formula. Still, his contribution to Indian cinema is undeniable. That Met Gala look was 🔥 though!
Kareena's message is so sweet—"Love you and love you more" 🥺 And Kajol's blurry pictures comment is so relatable! These friendships are what make Bollywood special. Happy birthday Karan!
Not a huge fan of the nepotism debates, but you have to respect Karan Johar's vision. He built an empire from scratch. And that Met Gala moment? Chills. Indian craftsmanship on the global stage—that's what we need more of.
Sonam's "Gemini energy" caption is so fitting! KJo and Sonam both have that vibrant, creative vibe. Love how Bollywood celebrates each other. This article made my day!
