Who does Karan truly care about? - Page 6

Originally posted by: IAmLuvBolly

Karan, Zoya, Farhan, Abhishek, Shweta, Hrithik, all of these guys grew up in the same circles and have known each other all their lives though Shweta and Abhishek were sent away to boarding school at one point.

There's a video of him talking with Anupama Chopra and admitting that Varun got the opportunity because he's David Dhawan's son and Alia being Mahesh Bhatt's daughter excited him. In the same conversation he says it takes a lot to make a star and talent is the least of those things. Yes Alia has talent but did anyone know this before Highway? Alia is more a product if KJo's support and good marketing than her own talent. And Jhanvi is headed the same way with her second movie being a patriotic biography. From the looks of it his next project is Ananya.

How does he exit a challenge by parents saying you did this for X's child do it for mine too? Well that kind of happened with Amrita and Sara and Jhanvi which resulted in Amrita taking Sara out of Dharma. This probably plays a part why he's seems less interested in Sara.

I don't believe that Vicky's father had nothing to do with Vicky's entry into Dharma. If it was just about talent Rajkumar Rao would have signed a Dharma film a few years ago. Certainly after Newton.

Adi and Sonakshi are doing a supporting role and a cameo in Dharma now because they are not bankable. And Sid he's holding on to as a token outsider so he can argue that he's not nepotistic. If any of these people's careers takes a turn they'll become his favorite. Just look at Ranveer Singh.

The only person he seems to hang on to despite flops is Ranbir Kapoor. Something he doesn't seem to have done even for Abhishek whom I think he's closer to on a personal level.


Sorry for the long post. I tried to consolidate my opinions/responses to several posts into one.

I feel he genuinely cares about janhvi due to Sridevi factor and Alia to some extend

I didn't understand his attitude towards Sara. Maybe he did not like her first impression. He will give her films if she proves herself as Ranveer and anushka otherwise he won't care to help her career in any way.

I might be the only one to think so, but I don't think he genuinely cares about Alia, just likes to flaunt her as she is his hand made sasti trophy😆, the Papa-beti drama seems too fake, aadhe time toh it seems like he totally sees through her wannabe Kareena mask & keeps on stamping his authority over her

IMO he truly cares about RK, Sid (I mean Kjo is still trying his level best to keep him relevant no matter how Flop or talentless he is) & Jahnvi at the moment

He doesn't like Sara cause apparently she rejected Dhadak Also I feel that he can manipulate Alia and Janhvi in a way that he cant with Sara cause she's worldly wise and wouldn't fall for his tricks.

On topic, earlier when he had no kids of his own he loved Shah and his family esp Aryan and Suhana. His godchildren. But now with kids of his own he doesn't care about them. Only his children and mother is priority. Rest is business.

I think he genuinely adored Alia, right from the making of SOTY, and still does, but he also seems to have soured a little bit on her since she started dating Ranbir. I don't think he approves of her dumping Sid and dating her friend's ex, going by some of his comments. And maybe he wants to warn Alia (that comment about Ayan having lots of "such" pictures with Ranbir and his gfs was quite catty and Alia seemed taken aback). And him telling Katrina Varun would not have been ok with it.

But strangely he doesn't seem to hold Ranbir to any standards of personal behaviour, he adores him anyway.
