Karan Johar expresses heartfelt gratitude to BFF Manish Malhotra for best birthday gift. Guess what it was
Bollywood ace filmmaker Karan Johar turned 48 on May 25. His birthday fell amid the coronavirus lockdown which is why he ditched the celebrations but cut a cake with his adorable kids--Yash and Roohi and his mother Hiroo Johar. Even though his friends from the industry could not wish him personally, they send their wishes through the medium of social media. However, his BFF and fashion designer Manish Malhotra made sure to make his day special by making a video for him included with messages from his close friends and family. Not only him, but director Punit Malhotra assisted him in editing the video which was around 1 hour 5 minutes long. The director on Tuesday took to his social media account to thank both of them for the gift which he will cherish for the rest of his life.
Taking to Instagram and sharing the photos of both, Karan wrote alongside, "I turned 48 yesterday and was overwhelmed with all the love and wishes that were showered on me..I feel so blessed to have such wonderful friendships around me that are beyond family to me and mine today ....yesterday my dearest and closest friend @manishmalhotra05 made a video for me with messages from my close friends and family...it was the best present I could have ever received ...he has been relentlessly following up with everyone for the past week and i was overwhelmed with emotion watching it....it made my day and my year and many years ahead as well....thank you Manish for this will cherish it all my life....I love you so much!!!
