The filmmaker said Aditya Chopra steered his career and Shah Rukh Khan promised to back his first film, calling both men the reason he tells stories today.

- Aditya Chopra fundamentally altered Karan's career path at 1 a.m., urging him to assist on DDLJ rather than pursue further studies, telling him, 'To be a director you need only and only Passion.'
- During a conversation in Switzerland, Shah Rukh Khan promised Karan, 'tu director banega and teri pehli film main karoonga,' later confirming this commitment with Yash Johar, Karan's father.
