Karan Johar Says He Cried in Salman Khan’s Van to Ensure Suit for ‘Saajanji Ghar Aaye

He recounts the first-day wardrobe standoff in a Manyavar interview during a fresh social-media revival of the 1998 song.

Overview

  • Johar says Salman Khan arrived in a T-shirt and jeans for the sangeet shoot and suggested a groom in casuals would set a new style.
  • The first-time director recalls breaking down in Khan’s vanity van on the actor’s first day because the ornate set demanded a formal look.
  • Khan ultimately agreed to wear the suit, and the team filmed Saajanji Ghar Aaye, which Johar notes was his first sangeet sequence.
  • The anecdote comes from a new conversation on Manyavar’s YouTube channel following a viral clip of Kartik Aaryan dancing to the song in a recent film.
  • Johar also revisits an earlier tale about pooling funds for Shah Rukh Khan’s costly DDLJ jacket, highlighting how wardrobe calls became lasting Bollywood lore.
