Karan Johar and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s friendship is stuff of legends. The two are often spotted at each other parties and always treat their fans with their selfies. KJo has also worked with Bebo in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham and their camaraderie each time Kareena attended the Koffee with Karan show was infectious! And now they have taken their friendship to a new level! Kareena and Karan featured on the cover of the Harper’s Bazaar magazine for it’s March edition. Bebo looked like a goddess in the pink Alexander McQueen dress on the cover!
