Messed Up Everyone Could

Everyone thinks I land in a chopper on top of my building and I have the most cushy existence. Could you understand that I might have the most messed up life myself?

Insurance Nurturing Means

For me, a child means an old-age insurance policy. I have a nurturing quality in me.

Love Few People I Love

Few people know that I love local dhaba food. It is the best!

Father Thought Half

Because I was the only child, I was completely indulged. My father thought I was the best looking boy. And even though I was at 100 kgs., he dismissed it as puppy fat. He thought that the sun came out of my head. If I got five out of ten marks, he thought I was half there and had only half way more to go.

Very Sly Both My Parents

I remember breaking the news to both my parents that I wanted to be a director, and they both looked very doubtful. They didn't know what a closet Hindi film buff I was. I used to dance to old Hindi films songs on the sly, so my decision to be a part of Hindi cinema was shocking even for my parents.

Honesty Overrated Also

Honesty is wonderful, but I suspect it's also overrated.

- Karan Johar

Dancing Big Feels

As a child, as a cinemagoer, I think there is nothing better than being in a cinema or watching a film. I think it's just a while magical... it almost feels like you're at a big party in India, where you're singing, you're dancing, you're laughing, you're crying, you feel like you're at a wedding because our films invariably cover all emotions.

- Karan Johar

Been Orientation Brought

I have never, ever talked about my orientation or sexuality because whether I am heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, it is my concern. I refuse to talk about it... I have not been brought up to talk about my sex life.

- Karan Johar

Always Been Contemplated

I have always been interested in fashion and even contemplated being a fashion designer at one point of time.

Adapt Two Am

I am a Gemini and can adapt to most atmospheres. You get two for the price of one when you are a Gemini.

- Karan Johar

Happy Thought Good News

I don't know about happy endings, because I don't think, eventually, anything is happy. You feel a bout of happiness with good news. Five minutes later, there could be a traffic jam or a phone call from an irritating relative or a weird thought, or it could be a tweet that annoys you, and your emotion will flip immediately.

- Karan Johar

Love My Life Been

I don't claim to have led a saintly life. There have been a lot of one-sided love stories in my life.

May Feel Victoria

I feel Victoria may have a Secret, but you don't have to know it!

Offended Defence Full Time

Offence is no longer defence - it's a full-time profession. Everyone is so offended all the time. The new police force that we weren't told about: the moral police. No qualifications, no training, no understanding of actual morality, but they have a degree in the art of being offended.

- Karan Johar

Going Show Muscular

If I did have a six-pack to show and a great waistline to put out there to the universe or beautiful muscular legs, then I would not have to pout. The only thing I have going for me is a jawline.

- Karan Johar

One Day CEO Shared

No one wanted to be my friend because of my lunchbox - because I never shared my lunchbox. One day the principal walked in and said, 'No one is friends with Karan Johar; who will be his friend?' My CEO today put his hand up there and said, he will.

- Karan Johar

Game Reason TV

I am not interested in producing fiction for Indian television at all, the reason being that I don't understand the medium. I can be a judge or a host; I can do that as an individual. But to produce TV content, you have to know the game.

- Karan Johar

Night Go Worrying

From the time you open the newspapers to the time the lights go off at night, it's all lies. We lie the most to the people closest to us. For fear of hurting them, breaking their heart, or worrying them.

- Karan Johar

Behind Always Stopped

Infidelity has always existed, but I feel like it was brushed under the carpet, behind the scenes. Now everyone is at it - and they've stopped pretending they're not.

- Karan Johar

Love Country Through

For me, my country comes first. Nothing else matters but my country. I always felt that the best way to express your patriotism is to spread love, and that's all I ever tried to do through my work and my cinema.
