In the recent episode of Karan Johar's celebrity talk show where he will host Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty, Karan reminisced about his time as an assistant director on the classic film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, sharing anecdotes about his anxious interactions with the late iconic actor Amrish Puri, who portrayed Kajol's stern father in the movie. 
Karan said, "I have to tell you, my father and Amrish ji come from the same village, so the first person my father told me whose feet I had to touch was Amrish ji’s." Ajay replied, "The only person whose feet I have touched is also Amrish ji’s because the first shot I took with him, I touched his feet."
Karan Johar recalled his experience working with Amrish Puri on the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge sets, mentioning that he used to be very scared of him when he was an assistant director on DDLJ sets. He shared that Amrish Puri was particular about detailing and would inquire about the time in London and the scene's timing to set his watch accordingly. Johar also mentioned being traumatised by Puri's attention to detail but acknowledged him as a wonderful man.
Ajay Devgn also recollected the actor, noting, "They used to say, and it is a fact, that kisi ke ghar pe shaadi ho, kisi ke ghar pe koi death ho jaaye, he was the first man to be their support."
Dilwale Duhania Le Jayenge was written and directed by Aditya Chopra and starred Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in the lead roles. The film is still considered one of the most iconic films of the Indian cinema.
