In a heartwarming display of affection, Kareena Kapoor Khan took to social media on May 25, 2025, to wish her close friend and filmmaker Karan Johar a happy birthday. The actress shared a collage of unseen pictures, offering fans a glimpse into their long-standing and cherished bond.

Kareena's Instagram story featured a heartfelt message accompanying the photos. She wrote, "There is only one and there will only ever be one…my kjo Happy birthday to my incredible friend and brother @karanjohar," followed by a string of red heart emojis. The collage showcased the pair smiling and posing together, highlighting their genuine camaraderie.

Kareena and Karan's friendship has been a constant in Bollywood for many years. They have collaborated on several successful films, including "Good Newwz," "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…," "Gori Tere Pyaar Mein," "Bombay Talkies," "Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu," "We Are Family," and "Kurbaan." Their on-screen collaborations have been loved by audiences, and their off-screen friendship is equally admired.

Interestingly, their bond wasn't always so strong. The two experienced a fallout that led to a nine-month period of silence. Karan Johar addressed this difficult time on his talk show, revealing details about their disagreement and how they eventually repaired their relationship. He also discussed the situation in his autobiography, "An Unsuitable Boy," mentioning that the conflict began when Kareena asked for a higher fee for the film "Kal Ho Naa Ho," a role that eventually went to Preity Zinta. Karan admitted that this disagreement caused a rift between them at the time.

Despite the past challenges, Kareena and Karan have successfully rebuilt their friendship, solidifying their bond as "family". The heartfelt birthday wish from Kareena is a testament to the strength and enduring nature of their relationship.

Karan Johar celebrated his 53rd birthday on May 25th, 2025, and received an outpouring of love and wishes from other industry friends and colleagues on social media. Known for his contributions to Indian cinema, Karan has directed and produced numerous iconic films. His directorial debut, "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" (1998), starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Rani Mukerji, remains a timeless classic. Other notable films directed by Karan Johar include "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham" (2001), "My Name Is Khan" (2010), "Student of the Year" (2012), and the more recent "Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani" (2023). These films have not only entertained audiences but have also addressed important social issues, cementing Karan Johar's legacy as a leading filmmaker in Bollywood.
