Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar's friendship goes back a long time. They worked together in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in 1998. KJo has directed Shah Rukh in films such as Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and My Name Is Khan. FYI, Karan Johar was Shah Rukh's co-star in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
The dynamics of Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan's relationship changed after the filmmaker did not work with him in 2012. In his autobiography An Unsuitable Boy, KJo revealed, "Yes, there was definitely a distance between us in recent year but that was because we were not working with each other. There's no other reason." He added, "He was hurt that I didn't work with him. I was hurt that with Student of the Year, there was no acknowledgement from him, there was no love or support given to me. Then it just grew. It was like he thought 'after everything I've done for Karan' and I thought 'after everything I've done for him'. We both felt like we had contributed to each other's lives so tremendously. It was just two people sulking."
