In the video, Karan has stated, “My father, Yash Johar, loved everything about the movies, he just had to step on to a movie set, and he was a changed man.

“He was naturally a kind and empathetic person, who understood that being in the movie business was hard, which is why, it gives me great pleasure to announce the formation of the Yash Johar Foundation, for the people of the entertainment industry. The Yash Johar Foundation has three main pillars of support — financial well-being, health, and education, and vocational training. Considering the current scenario and taking in account its effects and after-effects of Covid-19 we have initiated YJF Covid response 2021 to address immediate needs like food, shelter and medicine for those within the entertainment industry who have been negatively impacted by the pandemic,” he added.
