Karan Johar Just Gave Us the Ultimate Celebrity Gifting Guide – in LEGO® Sets

By News18

Let’s face it—nobody goes larger than life like Bollywood. So when Karan Johar—director, style icon, gifting guru—posted on Instagram asking his celeb friends if they wanted anything from his shopping trip in Delhi, the responses were worthy of a Big Bollywood Climax:
“Build me a mansion.”
“I want every sports car ever made.”
“Send me the galaxy, please.”
With a long list of unique items to gift, Karan needed something fun, thoughtful, and a little unexpected. That’s when he walked into India’s first LEGO® Certified Store in Gurgaon—and found the answer. From personalised builds to iconic sets, here’s how Karan pulled off a gifting moment to remember, proving that the best presents come with a side of imagination (and a whole lot of bricks).
For the Pop Culture Devotees
Hogwarts Castle – For Twinkle Khanna
When Twinkle wanted a mansion worthy of her larger-than-life personality, Karan Johar went full wizard mode with the LEGO® Harry Potter™ Hogwarts™ Castle. With over 6,000 pieces and iconic details from every corner of the Harry Potter universe—towers, turrets, moving staircases, even the Chamber of Secrets—it’s an undeniable masterwork. But what makes this gift special isn’t just scale. It’s the build. This is hours of hands-on creativity, bringing books and films to life one brick at a time. For families, it’s bonding over butterbeer and basilisk battles. And once it’s done? You’ve got a show-stopping centerpiece that says: yes, I’m a fan, and proud of it.

For the Aesthetes and Artists
Van Gogh’s Starry Night – For Sonam Kapoor
When Sonam Kapoor said, “Some art for my living room,” Karan didn’t send her a canvas—he sent her a challenge. The LEGO® Starry Night is a 3D recreation of Vincent van Gogh’s iconic painting, complete with swirling skies, rolling hills, and clever brick techniques that mirror real brushstrokes.

Love Sculpture – For Masaba Gupta
Masaba Gupta asked for (some) love. What she got was a design icon. The LEGO® Love Sculpture, based on Robert Indiana’s famous pop art piece, is bright, bold, and instantly recognisable. What sets these apart is that this isn’t art you buy—it’s art you build, layer by layer. It’s part puzzle, part meditation. A quiet, immersive way to reconnect with your creative self, or just get lost in something beautiful. And when it’s done? It decorates your home like any great masterpiece, with the added flex that you found love (all by yourself).

For Those With High-Octane Imaginations
The Ultimate LEGO® Garage – For Farah Khan
Farah Khan wanted all the fast cars, and Karan delivered. Farah’s lineup included individual builds of the Ferrari, Bugatti, McLaren, and the star of the show, the LEGO® Icons Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole. This model is a tribute to vintage speed. From deep-dish rims and working scissor doors to a full V12 engine under the hood, it’s loaded with detail and presence. But what makes it truly special? The build itself. Over 1,500 pieces of pure focus, craftsmanship, and tactile joy.

Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter – For Mira Kapoor
When Mira Kapoor joked about avoiding airport traffic, Karan went full sci-fi with the LEGO® Icons Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter. Inspired by the 2021 film, this set is aviation fan fiction brought to life—with fold-out, flappable wings, working landing gear, and eight iconic minifigures, including Paul Atreides and Baron Harkonnen.

For the Forever Curious
Jurassic World T. rex Fossil – For Neha Dhupia
Neha Dhupia joked that her daughter Mehr wanted a pet, so naturally, Karan Johar went all out and picked a dinosaur. The LEGO® Jurassic World T. Rex Fossil is a 3,000+ piece set that lets you build a towering Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton, complete with a display stand, information plaque, and hidden Jurassic Park Easter eggs. With its movable head, posable tail, and flexible joints, it’s a blend of science, childhood memories, and serious shelf appeal.

Milky Way Galaxy – For Nayanthara
When Nayanthara asked for “the galaxy,” Karan sent her exactly one with no spaceship required. The LEGO® Milky Way Galaxy is a stunning, over 3,000-piece wall art set that isn’t just the perfect gift for every space enthusiast in your life, but one that turns our spiral-armed galaxy into a textured, layered masterpiece. Built across five panels and packed with celestial landmarks like The Pleiades, Trappist-1, and The Pillars of Creation, this LEGO® set is cosmic at its core. It even comes with a special “You Are Here” tile — a quiet reminder of how small we are, even in the middle of something vast and beautiful.

Our Takeaways from Karan Johar’s LEGO® Gifting Spree
So yes, Bollywood went big. But Karan went smart. Each LEGO® set was personal, playful, and totally unexpected. And in a world of grand gestures and ostentatious displays, that’s the real flex. The takeaway? The new LEGO® Certified Store in Gurgaon is the perfect spot for your gifting haul, with something to delight everyone, whether they’re into fast cars, fine art, or dinosaurs.
