What BBN said about it
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorPrince William met Karan Johar over the Earthshot Prize, called him an icon, and admitted he has not seen any of his films.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorGulf News says he also called Johar modest, and really cool. That's three reviews of a man whose films he hasn't watched.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMany Britons grew up on them, the journalist pointed out. The Prince replied, and I quote, "Yeah, we all say K3G anyway."
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHe knows the title. That's a head start.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorEastern Eye says he did not confirm when he would watch it. Johar hosts the Earthshot event in Mumbai on November seventeenth.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA month. Plenty of time for a long film.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHe has agreed to pass on the message about K3G next time they meet. Nobody has asked what the message is.
