Bollywood filmmaker and the biggest The Devil Wears Prada fanboy Karan Johar revealed he had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet THE Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.
The director met the duo as part of their The Devil Wears Prada 2 Tokyo promotions.
While the details of his chat with the divas are still under wraps, we hear that Karan Johar chose a special outfit for their meet. The filmmaker seemingly chose a floral outfit — keeping the cherry blossoms in Tokyo and Japan in mind. We know, it is groundbreaking, but Queen Meryl Streep clearly approved of the look! We hear she complimented his look. A glimpse of his outfit was seen in the photos he shared on Instagram.
Karan Johar pens note on meeting Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway
Karan Johar captioned the post: “This is not a caption. This is a confession. I am singularly obsessed and inspired by the unmatchable brilliance of Meryl Streep. In many ways, she has been my guru in the art of acting & portraying characters across cinema!!”
He went on to chronicle how obsessed he is with the film, revealing its dialogues have become part of his daily vocabulary: “I have watched The Devil Wears Prada no less than 47 times. I have quoted it at dinner tables, in edit suites and in board meetings (no kidding!) So when I tell you that standing next to HER & them today, I felt the ground shift, please believe me. I tried very hard to be calm and composed but here`s a another confession – my knees were RATTLING!”
Praising both the actresses for their kindness, Karan wrote, “They were both so warm and welcoming. This image is going in my will. Stay tuned, there`s so much more because I had a chat with the favourites of the season. OH and one more thing that`s all”
