Well, looks like Karan Johar is in trouble.
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil director appeared on India Today Unforgettables with Ramesh Sippy where in a candid chat he said: "I thought Amitabh Bachchan who is not a Punjabi also spoke Punjabi fluently in those days where I saw father (Yash Johar) talk in Punjabi with the entire film fraternity."
