When Karan Johar opened up about his love life on Koffee With Karan season 7, our jaws hit the floor. This was because we rarely see the director-producer discuss his romantic relationships on a public forum. “Am I a cheater? I need to be in a relationship to cheat,” Karan said to his Koffee guest Varun Dhawan, when the two were having an intense chat about infidelity on the show. He further added that Varun was the one who comforted him when he split with his then partner.
Recently, KJo once again revealed much about his personal life in an interview with actress Twinkle Khanna. Got to say, props to him for keeping it real and not sugar-coating the struggles of being single in his 50s.
Speaking about how Karan has never been in a long, fulfilling relationship, the director said, “I have never been in a solid relationship in all my 50 years. There have been fleeting instances that I felt could have been a relationship, but it never fructified. I am the first one to run out. I also feel like I am really messed up in that department.”
In the same interview, Karan also dwelled on why he thinks he couldn’t be in a relationship for too long. “The moment someone is really into me, I take the first flight out. It’s a big problem. I’ve spoken to therapists and psychologists and I’ve been in sessions about why am I this person who doesn’t want love in his life. The moment the love becomes intense, I start feeling caged like I need to exit from this zone. The moment when I don’t have that love, I start chasing it”, he added.
KJo concluded the conversation by saying he is only accountable to his two children and mum and doesn’t want to bring in any other person anymore.
Well, I’m sure we can all sympathise with Karan on his struggles of finding the one. But here’s hoping that KJo doesn’t give up on his search for love, coz’ you never know when cupid strikes.
