Karan Johar is a filmmaker, showrunner and talk-show host whose high-gloss sensibility and pop-culture currency make him a rare “director-as-celebrity” in Indian advertising. In the last few years he’s fronted buzzy campaigns across lifestyle, home, tech and e-commerce—often leaning into his wit and fashion persona.
His top ads include: Asian Paints Royale Glitz (with Deepika Padukone), Myntra – End of Reason Sale (EORS with Shah Rukh Khan), Lenskart – “Glasses badlo, Vibe badlo” (with Kiara Advani), Rajdhani Besan (with Ananya Panday), The Sleep Company – “#MadeToFlaunt” (Elev8 & SmartGRID)
