When Ishaan Khatter And Janhvi Kapoor Met Karan Johar's 'Dhadak', Roohi Johar And Yash Johar

While Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter are on a promotional spree for their romantic drama film, Dhadak, as it is not only their big Bollywood debut but will also decide their fate in the industry. Dhadak, directed by Shashank Khaitan and produced by Karan Johar, is a Hindi remake of the Marathi blockbuster, Sairat.

Amidst the back-to-back promotions of Dhadak, Janhvi and Ishaan got a pleasant surprise from the ‘two heartbeats of one soul’ i.e., Yash Johar and Roohi Johar, who are their doting father, Karan Johar’s dhadak. Ishaan and Janhvi’s promotion schedule took a backseat when Yash and Roohi visited them at the Dharma Productions office.

Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter enjoyed spending quality time with the adorable munchkins. In the picture collage shared on the official Instagram handle of Dharma Productions, Yash is happily cradled in Janhvi’s arms while unamused Roohi is sitting on a swing with Ishaan standing in front of her trying to make her smile. Ishaan and Janhvi’s expressions are also too cute to be missed. Their collage is captioned as, “Adorable x 4! That's how Dharma lit up with all these smiles! @janhvikapoor @ishaan95 #RoohiAndYash”.

Well, it clearly looks like Janhvi is better with kids than Ishaan! Speaking about what things he has to keep in mind when he launches any new faces in the industry, Karan Johar said at the Dhadak trailer launch, "That they grow beyond their name and make their own identity. I think that is our responsibility and their responsibility. These days people focus more on names rather than the talent, but they tend to forget that one puts a lot of hard work, heart, dedication, discipline and mental preparation to face the camera, the audience and the media... It is not easy, really. It is difficult."

Karan Johar, who was referred to being a "flagbearer of nepotism" by Kangana Ranaut, further added, "We always use a tag... Like a word of the season. I know that word (nepotism) was doing around for last two years and I am again perhaps encouraging the same concept... But I will not utter the word. But I want to say, they are not here because of that word, but because of their hard work." What made him choose Janhvi and Ishaan for the remake of Sairat, he retorted, "The story is about an innocent love story. To bring such innocence on-screen, I needed first-time talent."

And how he finalised Ishaan and Janhvi, Karan revealed, "I was judging a show with Shahid where Ishaan happened to meet him on the set. So I just saw Ishaan and got a glimpse of a certain body language, expression and personality. So, I instinctively decided on him.” He went on to say, "I think Manish Malhotra is the fashion father of Janhvi. He knows her for a long time. He used to keep talking about her so much that I felt like I know her even before meeting her. Then I went to meet her family where I saw her. Then later when I met her personally, I saw her potential to be on-screen and saw that spark and excitement."

We are eagerly waiting for July 20, 2018, to watch first-day-first-show of Dhadak. Are you, too? Do let us know in the comments section below.
