| Karan Johar shares his experience at 66th Golden Globe Awards By Amul Sharma, 13 January, 2009 | |
 Karan Johar gives a first-hand account of being at the 66th Golden Globe Awards ceremonyEarly yesterday morning, we cheered as our TV sets showed A R Rahman doing us proud by winning Best Music Score at the Golden Globe Awards. Meanwhile Karan Johar was actually sitting in the audience at the ceremony. He was accompanying Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan. K Jo was over the top and told us from Los Angeles, "This was the Globes to be at... India was on top!" Karan, who is in LA shooting for My Name is Khan with SRK and Kajol, was on the special invitee list by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. SRK went on stage and presented a nomination for Slumdog Millionaire a big winner at the awards. Karan says, "In a word, the whole experience was 'fantastic'. I have grown up watching these stars since I was five and it was something else to see them all in a room sitting inches away." Karan continues, "Even though I know Slumdog isn't an Indian film, it has an Indian heart and to see the film take home top honours, was a sensational feeling. Rahman winning an award was just superb. It was a proud moment for Indian cinema and for all of India. I have been a huge fan of his work and to see him at the global platform and winning accolades is a feeling that can't be described." "Add to that, Shah Rukh going on stage and presenting the film was simply great. Slumdog winning Best Film and Danny winning Best Director plus SRK on the global stage and Rahman winning It was in a true sense an Indian night at the Globes. I met up with Danny and Anil and the entire team of Slumdog after the ceremony and then headed to the after-party. I chatted with various film personalities at the party. It was a truly scintillating experience." |
