The emotional tribute reflected not just Karan’s deep bond with his father, but also the creative legacy Yash Johar left behind. Sharing a monochrome picture of his father, the 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' director expressed how his father gave him the courage to feel deeply and to bring those emotions alive on screen. In a heartfelt message, Karan also expressed gratitude for the life lessons his father imparted—lessons that went far beyond filmmaking.

He recalled how his father made films with soul and lived life with even more meaning, emphasizing that good storytelling begins with a good heart. Through his words, the ace director highlighted how his father gave him the courage to feel deeply and to express those emotions through cinema.

Karan Johar wrote, “He made films with soul & for the soul...and he lived life with even more. He taught me that good storytelling begins with you...and your good heart. Thank you for giving me the courage to feel deeply. Thank you for giving me the courage to show these feelings on the biggest screens possible. Happy father’s day papa, thank you...for you.”
