Did you know Karan Johar played cupid for Vidya Balan and Siddharth Roy Kapur 12 years ago?

Karan Johar has been manifesting romances on his famed ‘Koffee with Karan’ couch and turns out, the filmmaker enjoys matchmaking in real life too! Recently he spoke about playing cupid on Twinkle Khanna’s chat show.
Twinkle Khanna compared Karan Johar to Sima Taparia from Indian Matchmaking and said, “You are the Sima aunty of the movie business. You keep doing this matchmaking and your father did the same thing.Because when I was interviewing Waheeda Rehman ji, she mentioned that your father fixed up her marriage, it's some genetic pre-disposition to get people together." said Twinkle. Reacting to it, Karan Johar said, "It's in the genes. I remember Shashi uncle and Waheeda aunty matchmaking happened with both papa and mamma and I remember there have been some other instances also which people may not know. But I don't know, I feel very happy to do this. I take on the responsibility, like I have to do it. It just makes me very happy to do it. It's like one of the agendas in my life to bring people together."
He further revealed that he had played cupid for Vidya Balan and Siddharth Roy Kapur, over a decade ago. "In fact, it is very strange, Vidya called me the other day. It was her 12th anniversary, and she was like, because you know I had introduced her to Siddharth Roy Kapur and she was like, 'I wanna thank you. I haven't said it enough.' I am so touched by this call, more than any feedback I've got, that call meant the world to me. I remember telling Sid, you know, Vidya will be lovely for you and bumping into Vidya at an event." Karan Johar also revealed that he had hosted a dinner where Vidya and Siddharth met and the rest is history.
