Filmmaker Karan Johar marked Diwali with a festive Instagram post, adding a playful jewel thief twist to his greetings to fans.
Wishing everyone Diwali, the filmmaker shared a few photos of his festive look. Decked in a black ensemble adorned with intricate golden thread and zari work, the look gave jewel thief feels. The ruby and sapphire encrusted statement ring from his own brand, Tiani Jewelers, caught the attention. Adding to the vintage look, Karan slipped in a musical reference with a spin to Jewel Thief through his caption.
“Raat akeli hai..Jal gaye diye…Happy Diwali,” he wrote.
The post comes as Johar celebrated the festival with his children, Yash and Roohi. In an earlier post this season, he wrote that he was grateful to the universe for “completing me” with his children, and said the family was blessed to have their mothers’ blessings.
“My world…My blessing…Shukrana to the universe for completing me with Roohi and Yash… we are blessed to have our mothers blessings… happy Diwali to all you from us …thank you,” he wrote.
Johar also hosted his annual Diwali puja. The event at his Dharma Productions office in Mumbai on Saturday was attended by several members of the film industry, including Janhvi Kapoor and Ananya Panday. Ananya Birla, Lakshya, Wamiqa Gabbi and Shanaya Kapoor were among others present.
Stars across Bollywood and the southern film industries shared their own greetings. Priyanka Chopra, Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan and Dhanush were among those posting wishes on social media.
