Salman Khan is one of the most loved and celebrated actors in Bollywood. Acknowledged by everyone as bhaijaan, the actor rules a zillion hearts, courtesy his impressive acting mettle, dashing looks and charismatic personality. Having scored so many decades in the film industry now, he is known for keeping a good rapport with a number of his colleagues in the same field. On December 27, 2023, Salman Khan turned a year older. And to wish him on the special day, his long-time friend and filmmaker, Karan Johar penned a heart-melting note for him.
Taking to his IG handle on December 27, 2023, Karan Johar dropped a candid picture of Salman Khan from one of the stills of his performance in the movie, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. However, it was the longish note which he penned along with the picture that grabbed the attention. On the actor’s birthday, Karan reminisced about his equation with Salman and recalled the moment he went to narrate the script of the KKHH to the latter, as a last resort to find an actor doing the role of ‘Aman’ in the film. Karan revealed that he was exceptionally close with Salman’s sister, Alvira, as a result of which he dared to take the script to him, hoping he would save him with a miracle. In an excerpt of the note, Karan said:
“In my wildest dreams I never imagined I would even get the opportunity of a narration … I went with a prayer in my heart and a deep desire for a miracle and narrated the first of the film like my life depended on it…He looked at me at the interval point ( by then I was looking like I was at the Sahara desert and water could keep me alive ) kindly offered me water and said “ I’’m on!!! “ I was perplexed and said but “ you are in the second half” you haven’t heard it? He said “ I love your father and my sister will kill me if I don’t do this movie” and that’s how Salman Khan was in KKHH.”

In the concluding segment of his special note, Karan Johar extended gratitude to not just Salman, but also his sister, Alvira Agnihotri, due to whose conjoined efforts that the filmmaker was finally able to pull off the iconic film, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, which became a milestone achievement in his career. Moreover, he also dropped a hint of working with Salman Khan again after 25 years, for a film project that is soon to come. In his words:
“I am deeply grateful to Alvira and my father’s goodwill for making sure I had the perfect Aman and SALMAN KHAN in my debut film! Gestures and stories like this just don’t happen today! Happy birthday Salman ! So much love and respect for you always …Also 25 years later we will finally have a story to tell again… not saying any more than that happy happy birthday.”

Well, agree or not, over the years, we have witnessed a lot of moments when Karan Johar has taken a jibe at other actors, when it comes to rumours about their personal lives. Something similar happened back during a session of the Star Guild Award, when the filmmaker had an interesting conversation with Salman Khan. It so happened that Salman asked Karan which heroine he would like to transform himself into. Without a minute, the latter promptly took Aishwarya Rai’s name, which led to a lot of laughter on the part of the audience.

However, things turned saucy when Salman asked Karan the reason for taking the actress’ name. To this, Karan wittily took a dig at the actor's past relationship with Aishwarya Rai and questioned him if it was he who asked the reason. However, Salman's facial reaction was unmissable at that moment. Karan said:
“Wajah pooch rahe hain aap? Aap pooch rahe hai wajah?”
