Karan Johar recently had an exclusive one-on-one session with Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy, where he stated that Fawad Khan should find new platforms to showcase his talent, mentioning that he won’t be working with Pakistani artists in the future.
Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy at a session at 47th World Economic Forum Annual Meeting said that “I really hope that one day I can go on the big screen and watch Fawad Khan directed by you again”.
Filmmaker Karan Johar while replying to her said: “You know what I went through and it was a tough time for me. I have a great regard for Fawad Khan’s talent.”
He further went on and said “I really wish Fawad finds new platforms to work in. So just like you [Sharmeen], I hope and wish Fawad finds the best platform because he is a prolific actor.”
One of the members from the audience asked Sharmeen and Karan if they would ever think of making a film on whether Partition was a mistake.
On this, Karan said he would never make a film on India-Pakistan in his ‘sane’ mind. “I think telling stories about today would make more sense than revisiting what has happened,” he said.
“I would love to work on projects that show collaboration. A boundary doesn’t make you an enemy. Our children live in more peaceful times.”
He further said that “I would never say anything in history is a mistake. We weren’t there at the time nor were we making the decisions. We don’t know if we even have accurate facts”.
