Ismail Darbar and Karan Johar
Music Composer Ismail Darbar recently went candid, making explosive remarks and revelations about his family life and his career. During a recent conversation, he also opened up about how Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra ignored him when he was in need. He also spilt the beans on Slam Khan and Aishwarya Rai`s chemistry on the sets of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.
During an appearance on Vickey Lalwani’s podcast, Ismail Darbar openly called out Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra, sharing that they did not consider him worth responding to. He recalled, “I called and messaged Karan Johar. I also phoned Aditya Chopra. But after a while, I realised there was no point. I can say their response wasn’t even worthy of a reply… they didn’t even consider me worth responding to. Whoever needs someone like me will surely come; those who don’t, won’t,".
