Mumbai, Feb 14 (NationPress) Bollywood director Karan Johar, known for his sharp wit, crafted a heartfelt message this Valentine’s Day dedicated to the singles out there.

The director, who identifies as single, stated: “Dear Single Person, Today is the day you feel victorious... you have zero baggage, no drama, and multiple options—what’s not to celebrate?? Happy Valentine’s Day!”

This week, Karan also commemorated the 15th anniversary of his film “My Name Is Khan,” which he described as a significant reminder that humanity knows no boundaries.

In a video shared from the movie, KJo reflected, “It’s been 15 years, and yet the emotions this film evokes remain as strong as ever.”

“I still recall the journey of bringing this story to life—the love, the challenges, and the profound sense of purpose that motivated us throughout. The true impact of My Name Is Khan revealed itself later through the numerous stories, messages, and connections it has inspired over the years.”

“Even today, I observe its dialogues being quoted, its music being treasured, and its message of love and resilience remaining prominent. This film was always more than just cinema—it was a declaration, a sentiment, and above all, a reminder that humanity knows no boundaries.”

“As we celebrate #15YearsOfMNIK, I feel great gratitude for everyone who embraced Rizwan’s journey and made it their own. #15YearsOfMyNameIsKhan #MyNameIsKhan,” Karan concluded.

The Shah Rukh Khan-led “My Name Is Khan” narrates the tale of Rizwan, a man with Asperger's Syndrome, who moves to San Francisco after his mother's death. He weds Mandira Rathod, a Hindu woman with a young son, Sameer, from a previous marriage.

However, after the events of 9/11, Mandira faces severe Islamophobia, and tragedy strikes when Sameer is killed amid religious tensions. Rizwan sets out on a quest to demonstrate that his faith and surname do not classify him as a terrorist, challenging societal prejudices in the process.
