My favourite takeaway from this podcast? "Apni dil ki baat keh dene se koi apna nahi ho jaata, baat paraayi ho jaati hai." Thank you. It's an extremely valuable thought.

Karan was right. You did put him at ease and we saw a different side of Karan. You let him speak with just the right questions. Very nicely done.

Getting Johar on a podcast! That is some serious achivement. He ,himself , is the master of interviews but you seem quite comfortable and undaunted by his presence
@AditiWazalwar
This is your first podcast that I watched only for KJ and mustt say that it was beautiful. I have grown up watching Karan Johar movies and I absolutely adore him and his work. I think this is one of the best interview of KJ , he addressed all the questions sooo genuinely . Karan has amazinggg articulation skills .Soo many things that he said about being close to his father , how he got comfortable with lot of things just soo deeply resonated with me . Wish I could directly speak with him and tell him how I loved his interview and what a beautiful soul he is. Thanks Raj for this interview 😊💕🙏🏻 Cheers , Aditi

For the first time, I felt Karan spoke his heart out. No Dharma ka drama . This episode was full of emotions and feelings unfiltered. As usual, yet another fantastic episode, Raj ❤
@shilpavati
I loved this discussion. Karan spoke very neatly, nicely, comfortably and confidently. He was just at his ease. His calmness was just so good. Everything he said was just from his heart. No drama, no lies just pure emotions.. So much to learn from him. ❤

The line - "Dusro se apni baat karke woh apne nahi hote, baat parayi ho jati hai" soooo deep❤️🙌
@wilmanoronha5988
I’ve always connected with Karan Johar’s movies …Never heard him speak on an Interview as openly as he did on your show …This is possible only when the right questions are asked …Such a beautiful free flowing conversation to listen to. Thanks Raj 🙏🏻

This interview was an incredible character reveal. That’s what you call a mega man — Karan Johar. It truly shook me from the inside. What an amazing and unexpected side of Karan sir!
@mylife22265
9:30 Dukh to apna saathi hai… omg this is the biggest lesson I learnt from this podcast, to accept your sadness as it is. It also resonates with one of my favourite philosophical songs Allah ke bande hasde where there’s a line in one of the antaras-Gham ko apne saath me lele dard bhi tere kaam aayega. Brilliant podcast Raj. My first time watching your content ❤

Watch it without any prejudices, this is one worth of EdTalks! Lot of motivational words and sentences he’s made without realizing what he’s just said and could impact multiple people in multiple positive ways! Great Job Karan J! Good luck and best of the wishes. Great job by the guy that’s interviewing…
@shraddhapawar811

Raj Shamani is ruling the podcast industry man...🔥🔥🔥🔥
@nexttvc
Just watched the podcast and honestly, today I saw a very different side of him. For the first time, it wasn’t about Bollywood glamour or headlines... it was just him — raw, real, and deeply human. I always knew him as a filmmaker, but today I saw him as a man — someone who owns his mistakes, learns from them, and speaks with honesty. And that part where he spoke about unrequited love and emotional pain — it hit home. It was 100% true. I could feel every word... because I’m living through it too. Thank you, Karan sir, for speaking your heart. Sometimes we need to hear that even the strongest souls carry silent stories.
