Actress Farida Jalal has come out and shared her experience of working in Bollywood with the most popular producers and star directors. Speaking about her equation with Karan Johar, with whom she worked on many great projects including Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, she revealed some shocking instances. The veteran actress mentioned that she was very close to Karan Johar’s father Yash Johar but felt that his son Karan Johar did not give his production house Dharma, the justice it needed.
During an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Farida ji mentioned that she never felt honoured since Karan Johar took over the production house. She added–”I don’t know what he’s like nowadays, loyalties shift very fast. He doesn’t have any role for me in his films these days, even though they wouldn’t make a film without me at one point.” She also mentioned that she refused the role of Jaya Bachchan’s mother-in-law in his film–Kal Ho Na Ho, since she had just done the role of a woman in the same age bracket and playing an elderly role in the next be unbelievable.
