Mumbai, Nov 30
Ace filmmaker Karan Johar recently took to social media to reveal his new love.
Taking to his Instagram stories, he penned a humorous and light-hearted post in which he jokingly referred to ChatGPT as his “new lover.†Karan hinted that he was initially unsure about using AI but has now grown quite fond of it. His line about hoping it’s not “ek tarfa pyar†seems to be suggesting he hopes the love isn’t one-sided and that ChatGPT “loves him back.â€
Karan Johar’s post read, “Chat GPT is my new lover… I took a while to warm upto this force… now I am in love! Deeply…I hope it’s not ek tarfa pyar I want chat GPT to love me back…†The director often shares humorous posts on social media. In his next follow-up post, Karan shared his stylish mirror click.
On the work front, Karan Johar’s latest production, “Homebound,†had its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on 21 May. The film reportedly received a nine–minute standing ovation following the screening. Written and directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, it was selected as the Indian entry for the Best International Feature Film for the 98th Academy Awards.
“Homebound†featured Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa, and Janhvi Kapoor in lead roles. The film revolved around the journey of two childhood friends as they tried to clear the national police exam.
A few days ago, Karan Johar attended the London leg of the “Homebound†screening, which was hosted by Gurinder Chadha. Sharing photos from the event, he wrote, “Made it to the London leg of our @homeboundthefilm campaign & it was a night filled with the warmest love, familiar and new faces and a whole lot of support for our film. (sic).â€
Before this, Martin Scorsese, who served as the Executive Producer of the drama, hosted a screening of “Homebound†in New York City.

Typical KJo style - making everything dramatic and filmy! But seriously, AI is becoming such an important tool for creative professionals. Good to see Indian filmmakers embracing technology.
While I appreciate Karan's humor, I hope he's not getting too dependent on AI for creative work. Our Indian storytelling has its own soul that no algorithm can replace. "Homebound" sounds amazing though - congratulations on the Cannes success! 🎬
As an NRI following Indian cinema, it's wonderful to see Karan Johar's productions getting international recognition. The standing ovation at Cannes is a proud moment for Indian cinema globally. More power to him and his team!
"Ek tarfa pyar" reference had me laughing! Karan knows how to connect with Indian audiences through our typical Bollywood dialogues. Can't wait to watch Homebound - the police exam storyline sounds very relevant to current youth aspirations.
Interesting to see how Indian filmmakers are balancing traditional storytelling with modern technology. Karan's playful approach to AI shows how the industry is evolving while keeping its unique flavor.
