Bollywood multi-hyphenate Karan Johar recently positioned himself as a matchmaker for star Kartik Aaryan during the trailer launch of his upcoming production, ‘Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri’.
KJo Talks Matchmaking
At the event, KJo highlighted his success as a matchmaker, noting how many relationships in Bollywood have bloomed thanks to his chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’. He shared with the media, “I have got a lot of marriages done, I just want to tell you. A lot of information comes to you, some information doesn’t even come to you. I am a very big matchmaker, I can do better than Seema aunty (Seema Taparia).”
He added, “I am better than Seema aunty, but I can’t tell all my facts outside. So I am taking on the responsibility. From today, after this film releases, I will take on the responsibility to be Kartik’s Seema.”
Kartik responded with gratitude, saying, “I really appreciate it.”
Excitement for ‘Ikkis’
During the event, KJo expressed his excitement for the upcoming film ‘Ikkis’, which features the late Dharmendra. He said, “I’m incredibly, incredibly proud of the success of ‘Dhurandhar’ and my congratulations to the entire team. It’s a phenomenal film. I’ve heard the best things about ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ but I’ve also heard amazing things about our film. And I know that it’s a Christmas release and I think it’s a festive release.”
He continued, “I would also like to take the opportunity to say how I’m looking forward to watching ‘Ikkis’. It’s such a special film to all of us. For me, for personal reasons, we have such great regard, respect and reverence for Dharamji. And it’s been a tremendous loss to all of us. Watching it for one last time would mean the world to all of us as fans and cinegoers. And also, it’s Agastya’s film. I’ve known Agastya. So I think all of us can do exceedingly well in the cinemas. The whole power should be with the box office of Indian cinema. Because when we prosper, you prosper. And when you prosper, we prosper. It’s just really fascinating.”
About ‘Ikkis’
Directed by Sriram Raghavan, ‘Ikkis’ is based on the life of Arun Khetarpal, one of India’s youngest Param Vir Chakra awardees, who was martyred during the 1971 Indo-Pak war at the age of 21. The film emphasizes military discipline, battlefield decision-making, and personal courage, aiming to honor a real-life hero whose bravery remains significant for the nation.
