Ace filmmaker Karan Johar has given innumerable hits to Bollywood industry, making him worthy of several awards. When attacked by the media if he has ever lobbied for one, the 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' director denied the remark.

At the recently held press conference of 62nd Jio Filmfare Awards 2016, KJo said, "I have never in my entire life called anyone for awards. There's no point. I have won very few awards in my career and that too glamour related awards."

"As a director I have just got two awards. Those who are confident about their films don't need to call anyone as they get what they deserve," said Karan.

The awards ceremony will be held on January 14, 2017 at the NSCI Dome in Worli which was announced at a press conference attended by Filmfare editor Jitesh Pillai, Karan and actress Alia Bhatt.
