Johar has got the sweetest compliment from 3 times Oscar winning actress Meryl Streep. The actress is set to appear in The Devil Wears Prada 2, which is easily among the most talked-about films this year.

Interestingly, what followed wasn’t just a chat about the movie - it quickly turned into a full-blown fashion moment. And yes, Meryl even gave her fashion nod to Karan’s outfit.
