"Yeah, and we were on set with him in 1994. So it was like Adi (Aditya Chopra), me and him (Shah Rukh Khan) were like friends. That super stardom energy, I have seen Shah Rukh's entire growth infront of me and felt a part of it. I didn't meet him as a movie star. I met him as a young vibrant actor with so much promise."

Then, as the interviewer mentioned, "Not a piece of paper", Karan affirmatively added, No, I don't have any detail paper. Whatever is said and it's done!" Explaining his relationship with SRK, Karan shared:

"Ofcourse, I give him clothes, he loves clothes. But like Shah Rukh's there is no such thing as money exchange. What I do, and what he does, there is no money involved. I don't think he has ever asked me for money for the film he has done. Whatever is given is given. Our contract with Shah Rukh is - Its a pleasure to work with you. Thank you so much and that's great contract. There's no contract and we don't have a contract. I don't have any of it."
