In a candid conversation on Komal Nahta’s YouTube podcast Game Changers: The Producers Series, filmmaker Karan Johar shared his unfiltered thoughts on the growing culture of star entourages and revealed an interesting wish for his children, Roohi and Yash. The Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani director admitted that he doesn’t want his kids to become actors but instead to pursue a different profession within the industry.
Talking about the rising entourage cost in the industry, Johar observed, “Don’t even get me started on the charges that makeup and hair artists take today. In fact, I would want Roohi and Yash to become makeup and hair artists because they are earning more money than other people. Ek hair kare aur dusra makeup (one should do the hair and the other should do makeup) — it will be very beneficial for both of them,” he said with a laugh.
