During a press conference, Karan Johar answered the most-asked question about his show, Koffee With Karan 8, and revealed if Shah Rukh Khan will appear on the show. Talking about the same, he said that since the megastar is like family to him, he has the leverage to ask him to do so. However, KJo shared that he never asked Shah Rukh to appear on the show and added:

“I just know that if there is any megastar who has earned his right to speak when he needs to, it is Shah Rukh Khan. I, of all the people, have been his closest friend and family and should understand that. I have that leverage because he is family to me. I can ask him and request him. He has never said no to me. So I never asked.”

Karan Johar on his friendship with Shah Rukh Khan

Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan's friendship needs no introduction, and the duo has been together through thick and thin. Reflecting on his bond with SRK, the filmmaker said that the former means the world to him and never says 'No' to anything. However, Karan mentioned that when the time is right, he will ask him to appear on the show and added:

“Because I know he didn’t want to be in that situation where he has to say no to me. I pick and choose what I ask for. He is somebody who matters the world to me. He is family to me. He is my older brother, he is everything. I know when the time is right, I will ask him. And I know when he wants to speak, he will.”

Heaping praises on the megastar, KJo added that Shah Rukh is an emperor both on-screen and off-screen and also mentioned that they all have a lot of collective love for King Khan because of the man he is. In his words:

“Nobody speaks better than him. When he speaks on a global platform or a national platform, he is just the wizard of words. He is truly the emperor not just on screen but off screen. There’s a lot of collective love for him because of the man he has been to us off screen.”
