Filmmaker Karan Johar revealed he felt he "peaked at 28" after directing Amitabh Bachchan and working with Lata Mangeshkar on his second film, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. He described the experiences as overwhelming, leading to emotional breakdowns due to immense stress and childhood admiration. Johar recounted weeping during Mangeshkar's recording of the title track and feeling sick with stress while directing Bachchan, whom he deeply reveres.
