Karan Johar had his first sexual encounter at 26 but this is not something he is 'proud' of. Completely inexperienced sexually up to that point of time, he paid for sex in New York. "It was a nerve-wracking experience for me," Johar says in his memoir.
He did it twice, the first time he paid the money but could not consumate. A week later, he was back again. "This time, I walked out with guilt. I felt miserable. It's not that the sexual release was fun. It just seemed a bit stupid; it seemed fake because obviously the person assigned to please you is going to please you artificially," he notes.
“But I don’t want that much. Actually I don’t care about it. People think that since I am travelling a lot, I am having a lot of sex. But it doesn’t happen that way. A boarding pass is not a pass for sex. I am not in love with anyone anymore,” the filmmaker writes.
Meanwhile, KJo also writes, “There was a big age-gap between me and my father, and no one else told me about these things. I had a very square group of friends: we were all very good girls and boys. We were the Gujarati bunch who would go for picnics. We were the most uncool, unaware and innocent lot,” says the book about Johar’s childhood.
And there’s lots more, “There was a time when I was very concerned about what other film-makers did… it was borderline jealousy, competition… I used to sometimes wish their films wouldn’t do as well as they did. I used to be troubled by Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s brilliance. I used to be affected that I couldn’t write a film like Raju Hirani,” Johar regrets. After all these years, Johar is no longer bothered. “If I hear a film has done well, great. Good for you.”
Another significant issue that find mentions is his feeling that he never gets credit for his work. “I feel no matter what kind of films I do, I never get credit. It gets forgotten immediately afterwards. I am still associated with popcorn, frivolity, NRIs and rich people,” he writes.
Karan Johar has dedicated a chapter in his autobiography to Shah Rukh Khan, detailing the ups and downs of their two-decade-long friendship (I May Have Hurt Shah Rukh Khan, Says Karan Johar, Jan 14).
But the chapter that has become the talk of town is the one where he talks about his ruined friendship with Kajol (Kajol Does NOT Deserve Me: Karan Johar Confirms End Of Friendship, Jan 12)
