When Karan Johar And Ekta Kapoor Agreed To Marry Each Other - Blast From The Past
Did you know, Karan Johar and Ekta Kapoor, who are best of friends, agreed to marry each other if they don't find their right partners?
By now, we all are aware of Karan Johar's sexual orientation. However, back in time, when the filmmaker didn't openly discuss his preference, he had once agreed to marry his good friend Ekta Kapoor. Karan and TV czarina Ekta Kapoor are best of pals and their friendship goes back to the time when both were overweight in childhood. They have come a long way and have gone to achieve great success in the film and TV industry. In an old interview, Karan had once agreed to marry Ekta if he didn't find his right partner.
In the Sulekha interview that was published 13 years ago, Karan fondly spoke about Ekta Kapoor reminiscing their childhood and shared that he'll marry her in case he doesn't find his partner. He was quoted saying, "I don't think I ever will find the right partner. If finally neither Ekta nor I find someone else we'll marry each other." Adding to this, he stated that his mother would be very happy with this union. "At least my mother will be very happy. Not only because I'll finally get married. But also because she'll get to to know the plot line of her favourite serials from beforehand," KJo said.
On this proposal of Karan, Ekta gave an instant yes. She was quoted saying, "I'd love to marry Karan. When is he proposing? Whenever we do meet we hug like long-lost pals. Karan is one of my closest friends from the film industry. I don't have friends in Bollywood. I prefer to stick to my tv crowd. I remember I had gone to see Karan's Kal Ho Na Ho with an unbiased Friday-evening audience. (I don't like to watch films at the filmy previews). And I saw how audiences cried and clapped. I called him up and said, 'You've a winner on hand."
Well, years have passed and both remain to be single. (Also Read: Ekta Kapoor Offers Karan Johar Rishab Bajaj's Role In TV Soap; Farah Khan Calls Him 'High Maintenance' As KJo Says He's Open To Do Father Roles)
