As accessible and vocal as he is, it would be difficult to recall the last time someone interviewed Karan Johar without him commenting on some controversy.
In the Vir Sanghvi interview, Johar discussed his life, following the publication of his autobiography, An Unsuitable Boy, written with Poonam Saxena. Hearing him talk about certain choices that he made — forced or otherwise — one couldn’t help but feel a sense of being letdown.
People don’t blink an eyelid before asking the most personal things; Are you married? When are you guys going to have a kid? How come you and your wife are not having the second child? Is she a lesbian? Is he a homo? No matter what, one can never satisfy them.
Much like the stand he takes in real life, Johar’s reel choices also reflect on him. He can’t blame the audience for enjoying something that he sets them up for and then feel letdown with how people think about things, especially homosexuality. Johar’s battles and decisions are his own. Who are we to judge?
