Being here, it should be added that ‘City of Lights’ star, Rajkumar Rao has also been vocal of his admiration for the Hollywood actor. Last year, he went on record to say that he wanted to meet Streep and just ask her, “How do you guys do it?”
He off course was referring to the variety of characters she has played in her career while managing to make all of them unravel effortlessly on screen.
Besides the Streep poster,

On numerous occasions, KJo has professed his love for the Khan family; SRK’s children and wife Gauri. No matter the ups and downs of a relation, Johar has always maintained that Shahrukh will always remain a part of his family.
In fact, he stated in the interview that he was left a set of important documents by his father, Yash Johar while on his death bed that included blank pages with his signature for any outstanding financial settlement.
The docket was initially handed over to Shahrukh and remained with him for a period of time before it reached the son , who was the man of the house by then.
5- The table tennis room
Karan Johar, self-deprecating when it comes to sports happily announced himself as a reasonably good table tennis player. Dharma headquarters have a room dedicated to table tennis where you see even celebs chilling from time to time, like the time when Alia Bhatt dropped a while ago.
