Mumbai: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan says he misses filmmaker Yash Johar, and “loves him the most”.
Karan shared a photograph of his late father along with Shah Rukh on Tuesday, holding hands from a press conference of 1998 film “Duplicate”, on Twitter, and captioned it: “Papa and @iamsrk….#memoriesforever”.
The Bollywood ‘badshah’ then retweeted the photograph, and wrote: “Oh how I miss my friends who are gone… love you Tom Uncle and miss you most.”
Yash Johar died in June 2004 following a chest infection. After his death, his son Karan took over their production banner Dharma Productions.
Shah Rukh and Karan have been thick friends and have worked together for many films like “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” and “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna”. The two last worked together as actor-director in “My Name Is Khan” in 2010.

Vir Das to start workshops for aspiring comedians
Actor-comedian Vir Das, who last week unveiled his Weirdass Comedy clothing label, is now gearing up to start workshops for aspiring comedians and actors.
“The academic side of comedy is something that the scene tends to neglect. We will be announcing a cool training initiative and a venue for the same. As professionals who have used this art form as a stepping stone to films and other mediums, the least we can do is train the new blood,” Vir said in a statement.
Vir will soon be announcing a training initiative to brush-up the skilled talents and help them improvise.
