Sit With Hitlist: Karan Johar shared poignant moments from his life that he wishes to archive, one of which is watching the film 'Gandhi' from the comfort of his home. This experience held special significance as his father, Yash Johar, was a line producer for the Indian segments of the film. At a young age, Karan didn't grasp the cinematic importance, but the day he learned they had special permissions to view it at home with director Richard Attenborough, Yash Johar, and Hiroo Johar, left him in awe. He recounted his family's entry into the film industry and his father's journey, which intertwined with legends like Dev Anand, Vijay Anand, Raj Kapoor, and Sunil Dutt. Karan also shed light on how 'Dostana' and his father's path to becoming a film director came into being, even mentioning his mother's school days with Amitabh Bachchan. He even mentioned that their family business in Delhi was that of Nanking sweets, much like Dhanalaxmi Laddoos in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
