While talking about his journey, Karan Johar revealed that he used to be labelled as a 'pansy’ in a demeaning manner.
Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar, recently, talked about his past and revealed how he pretended to be in love with a girl for a long time. On the YouTube show Be A Man Yaar, hosted by Nikhil Taneja, the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani director opened up about his struggles.
While talking about his journey, Karan revealed that he used to be labelled as a 'pansy’ in a demeaning manner. He stated, “I pretended to be in love with a girl named 'Shalaka' in 10th class.” He further added, "Today what you guys call 'gay/fag/homo' in a derogatory way, it was called 'pansy' those days."
He also expressed gratitude towards Shah Rukh Khan, who will next be seen in Jawan, for never making him feel lesser. He said, "And it was a word that literally had really pushed me into a shell.” Karan Johar added, “Shah Rukh Khan was the first man that didn’t make me feel lesser.”
Meanwhile, as the audiences await the trailer of Shah Rukh Khan's action-thriller Jawan before its worldwide release on September 7, it seems Karan Johar saw the trailer on August 27, Sunday night and shared his excitement on his social media.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, the filmmaker wrote, "I just saw the trailer of the century!!!! #iykyk". Though Karan didn't mention any movie's name, netizens were quick to deduce that he is talking about Jawan since as soon as he posted his Story, the industry trade was abuzz that the trailer for Shah Rukh Khan film will be launched on Monday.
It is no surprise that Shah Rukh must have shown the Jawan trailer to Karan Johar before its release as the filmmaker has directed the superstar in his career-defining films such as Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and My Name Is Khan. Kal Ho Naa Ho was written and produced by Karan under his banner Dharma Productions.
