The famous Bollywood director Karan Johar, known for his larger-than-life films and his totally unique and wacky sartorial choices, turns a year older on May 25. Karan made his directorial debut with the film `Kuch Kuch Hota Hai` starring Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji and Kajol. Since then, KJo has created films like `Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham`, `Student Of The Year`, `Kal Ho Na Ho` and many more.
While the film industry has seen KJo`s talent as a director, his entry into the world of cinema was through quite a different route. Before his debut as a director, Karan Johar worked as a costume designer for the iconic film `Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge` which has been running at the Maratha Mandir for the past 27 years. KJo, who was working as an assistant director on the sets of the film, was also given the responsibility of styling SRK. Since then, Karan has been roped in as a costume designer for various films like `Dil To Pagal Hai`, `Main Hoon Na` and `Om Shanti Om`, with his favourite muse being Shah Rukh Khan.
