The event, held at the iconic Palace of Westminster, was attended by esteemed lords and MPs who commended Johar’s illustrious career spanning 25 years in filmmaking.
Karan has always had a special connection with the United Kingdom, as many of his blockbuster films, including the iconic “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,” “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham,” and “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil,” were filmed across the country.

At present, Karan Johar leads Dharma Productions, a leading Indian film production company responsible for blockbuster hits like Brahmastra Part One: Shiva, Sooryavanshi, Baahubali, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna.
With 25 years of experience in the global entertainment industry, Karan Johar’s influence and creativity continue to captivate audiences worldwide. His upcoming film, “Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” starring the talented duo of Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh, is set to release in the UK and around the globe on July 28.
The recognition bestowed upon Karan Johar by the British Parliament reaffirms his significant contributions to the world of cinema and solidifies his position as an accomplished filmmaker on the global stage.
