I was doubted on what I could achieve: Karan Johar

Film-maker recalls how everyone questioned him when he first entered the industry

He may be a successful film-maker, chat show host, reality TV show judge, and writer and more, all rolled into one now. But Karan Johar says when he was entering showbiz back in the day, he faced a lot of questions doubting what he could do.

"At the very beginning of my career, there were questions that doubted me on what I would achieve years down the line. It's simple... The answers lie within, so keep seeking," Karan said in a statement, at a recent event.



The Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham director went down memory lane at the premises of his new Dharma Productions office, as the brand celebrated his personal progress through a special video. "The new Dharma Productions office is a symbol of my success," said Karan.

The 60-second digital video has been executed by the Dharma 2.0 team and directed by Sharan Sharma. It juxtaposes the brand with Karan's journey, which has all been about defying norms.



"By building on this narrative, we hope to inspire a positive culture shift in India that promotes and encourages the idea that it's the walk within you which propels you forward," said Nitesh Chhapru, vice president of marketing at USL - Diageo.
