Prince William has promised to watch Karan Johar’s Bollywood classic Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham after meeting the filmmaker in London. The two discussed their connection with the Earthshot Prize, which promotes solutions to environmental challenges. William praised Johar’s efforts to help the initiative gain recognition in India. He also described the filmmaker as an icon who remained modest despite his success.
Speaking about their meeting, William said Johar had been helpful in supporting the Earthshot Prize’s work in India. Their conversation later turned to Bollywood when a BBC Asian Network journalist asked whether the prince had watched any of Johar’s films. William admitted he had not seen any yet. However, he expressed interest in exploring the filmmaker’s work in the future.
