Karan Johar admits he’s finding it hard to come to terms with the horrible news.

 

I danced to hawa Hawaii when I was in school…..I have seen every film of hers multiple times….I met her with shaking hands and feet on the sets of my fathers film GUMRAH….and felt I had arrived when she called me for the first time …..every time I met her I had a star struck moment and a fan boy vibe….I don’t think I can believe it…perhaps I don’t think I want to believe that she is no more… she is a huge reason I love the movies….I feel like Indian cinema just lost its smile….the heavens are fortunate they just inherited a gift of life…..heartbroken…..
