Karan Johar's Heartfelt Confession on Loneliness
Karan Johar, the renowned Bollywood filmmaker, recently shared his poignant feelings of loneliness during a podcast with Sania Mirza. As a single parent to twins Yash and Roohi, Karan opened up about the emotional challenges he faces, especially during moments of success and celebration. Despite his accomplishments, he often finds himself feeling isolated, particularly when he has no one to share his joys with.
During the podcast, Karan recounted the moment he received a call regarding his National Award. Instead of celebrating, he felt a sense of emptiness, questioning whom he could share this special occasion with. He reflected on how, in times of happiness, the absence of a partner can become painfully evident. Karan quoted a poignant line from a song, expressing that the loneliest moments often occur during the highs of life, rather than the lows where family and friends are present.
At the awards ceremony, Karan was asked about his 'plus one', a reminder of his solitude. While others attended with their partners, he faced the reality of attending alone, as his mother was unwell and his children were too young to join him. This experience hit him hard, emphasizing the loneliness he sometimes feels, even in a crowded room.
He humorously shared how he often opts to eat alone in his room rather than at the dining table, seeking to lessen the sting of loneliness. Karan admitted that during festive times, like New Year’s, he feels particularly isolated and tends to vent to his single friends, preferring to avoid places filled with couples. His candid remarks about wanting to 'kill' those engaged in public displays of affection highlight his struggles with loneliness.
Despite these feelings, Karan remains optimistic about love and relationships. He believes that one day he will find a partner who can accompany him through life’s highs. As he continues his work in the film industry, Karan is also looking forward to the release of his upcoming film, "Tu Meri Main Tera," which features popular stars like Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday. His journey and openness about loneliness resonate with many, reminding us that even in success, the quest for companionship is a universal experience.
