Karan Johar Says ‘I Have Brought Homosexuality To Dining Table Discussions; Adds, Received Emails And Letters From Gay Boys And Girls
Karan Johar said he is proud that he brought homosexuality to dining table discussions
Karan Johar is one of the most talented directors in Bollywood who has been entertaining audiences for more than a decade now. However, KJo often comes under the radar of netizens for his sexual orientation, which has always been a topic of discussion. In his book, An Unsuitable Boy, Karan has unapologetically accepted his sexuality as he opened up about his life and journey. The filmmaker also mentioned he is proud that he brought homosexuality to dining table discussions.
Addressing the topic of homosexuality, Karan revealed that he received thousands of emails and letters from gay boys and girls thanking him for making a film like Dostana. His quote reads, “People say that I make fun of and stereotype homosexuals. But I say, no, I’ve brought homosexuality to dining table discussions. I’ve received over a thousand emails and letters from gay boys and girls thanking me for making Dostana because, they said, now at least people know what the concept is. I also made Bombay Talkies which dealt with gay married men who are actually hiding and repressing themselves, owing to social and parental pressures.”
He added, “I’ve not made fun of homosexuality; I’ve addressed it with humour, but all for a reason.” ALSO READ: Karan Johar RECALLS Holding Suhana Khan And Agastya Nanda In His Arms; Says ‘I Can't Believe How The Kids Grow Up So Fast’
