Diwali is all about families coming together. And for Karan Johar, the team at his production house is an extension of his family. Every year, on the morning of Diwali, there is a puja held at Karan’s office, which is followed by a vast spread of delicacies for all the guests. And every year, his guestlist includes his protégés and the artistes who he has taken under his wing, including his team of in-house directors. Needless to say, no member misses the celebration, which in trademark KJo style, is setup lavishly.

The usuals at this celebration include Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, Janhvi Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter, and this year, his newest ‘students’ — Tara Sutaria and Ananya Panday — are expected to join in. Last year, Karan’s adorable twins Yash and Roohi sat for the Diwali puja along with him. Just like in his films, for Karan it’s all about loving his family.
