Karan Johar had said this about his father Yash Johar

Recently, Karan Johar told how his father late Yash Johar had to go through a phase of continuous failures. When some films produced by Yash Johar flopped continuously, the film industry abandoned him. Karan said that he will always regret not being with his father during the golden period of Dharma Productions. He said, "I don't think all my films will be blockbusters. But I know that if they flop, I will be on the street because I am a producer's son. My father made his first film after working as a production manager for 30 years. He borrowed a lot of money for 'Dostana'. Fortunately, it was a hit. But after that, many of his films flopped. When films were not doing well, the film fraternity behaved differently. They would call us to the premieres but give us lousy seats. Dad would not go but would ask me to go. I could see the pain in his eyes that he was being called and insulted. Failure is a bitter pill, you have to swallow it."
