"Technology definitely killed romance....how can Facetime and Skype ever replace waiting and longing for your loved one," Karan tweeted Saturday.
Karan's movies are all about love and loved ones. From "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai", "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham" to "My Name Is Khan" and "Student of the Year" -- love has been a recurring theme in all his directorials.
