Filmmaker Karan Johar made headlines when he showed his vulnerable side to the audience. KJo was the recent guest on tennis pro Sania Mirza’s show, Serving It Up With Sania, where the two discussed various matters. From love to loneliness, the discussion was such that it held the audience till the very end. During the conversation, Karan admitted that mealtimes are one of the hardest times of the day, as he often felt lonely.
Karan Johar on Love
When Sania asked Karan how he feels about not having a partner, he replied, “I’m okay now. There was a point in time when I really wanted love. I wanted companionship, I wanted a relationship. And I went through all kinds of dynamics a broken heart and one-sided love. I even made a film on it. That was cathartic; it helped me heal.” He then talked about being advised to ‘put himself out there’ or ‘go abroad,’ to which Karan responded by saying, “Go where? I live here, I have a mom and two kids. I have to live here. I’ve gone through those beats, and I do get lonely; it’s a reality. You get the loneliest in your highs, not your lows. Eating alone is another thing that makes you feel lonely.” While Karan says that he has accepted the fact that he is single, he claimed that he ‘never says never’ and has his ‘arms wide like Shah Rukh Khan’s’ whenever in life he finds love. When speaking about how he gave the Indian audience some of the best love stories but unfortunately didn’t have one himself, he said, “Rab ne vo jodi mere liye nahi banayi (God hasn’t made a partner for me).”
