Karan Johar is the new academic ambassador for Bollywood. Last week, he was invited to lecture 500
students at New York University, and this is what he says about the experience, "The response was
overwhelming.
The subject of the course was Bollywood and our popular culture. It isn't so much
about what I said to them, as what they asked me. I suddenly realised how far Bollywood was reaching out."
Karan is ow being booked for Bollywood lectures in several cities in the US. "I enjoy these
sessions, and I don't mind talking about our cinema as long as it doesn't interfere with my main work, which
is making movies.
In any case, making movies and taking them to the maximum number of people
goes hand in hand." This also gives KJo a chance to talk, and we all know how much he loves to do that!
