Karan Johar's fascination with Poo, the iconic character played by Kareena Kapoor Khan in the 2001 film Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (K3G), remains a prominent aspect of his public persona and creative endeavors. Over two decades after the film's release, the character continues to resonate with audiences, and Johar often acknowledges and celebrates Poo's enduring legacy.

Kareena Kapoor herself recognizes the significant impact of Poo on popular culture. She has often spoken about how the character was ahead of its time, with her bold and unapologetic personality striking a chord with viewers. Kapoor also credits Karan Johar for shaping Poo's character, stating that she simply followed his vision and direction while bringing the role to life. She even admitted that when she was shooting the movie 20 years ago, she questioned why she was doing it, but Karan told her it would become an iconic character.

The director's obsession isn't one-sided, Kareena equally loves the character. She admitted that she is a fan of K3G and loves the movie's universal appeal. The film's themes of family, tradition, and warmth have resonated with audiences worldwide, including herself.

Johar's appreciation for Poo isn't limited to reminiscing about the past. He actively incorporates the character's essence into his current projects and social media presence. For example, Ananya Panday's character in Call Me Bae was described by KJo as a modern-day version of Poo.

However, Kareena has stated that Poo is a truly iconic character, that's why some characters need to remain untouched and loved for what they were. She added that nobody else can or should play Poo.

Recently, Karan Johar shared a nostalgic video featuring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Rani Mukerji, which quickly went viral and was hailed as the "moment of the year" by fans. The video had both stars sharing a hug and re-enacting iconic lines from K3G.

While fans have expressed interest in seeing Poo return in a spin-off or sequel, both Kareena Kapoor Khan and Karan Johar have indicated that it's unlikely. They believe that Poo is best left as a cherished memory, untouched and irreplaceable.
