KJo spoke about how he relates megastar Amitabh Bachchan with "power" and the late spiritual leader with "peace".
Talking about power, Karan said:“Amitabh Bachchan, I think he has the power of his being when he enters a room. I feel he has that power that most people will stand up and they don't know why they are standing up.”
“He exudes an aura that is beyond your understanding of what an energy or power is. That is true power. Magnetism.”
