Everyone knows my sexual orientation: Karan Johar

Filmmaker Karan Johar has indirectly hinted about his sexual orientation and how coming out in the open could land him in jail in a country that has criminalised homosexuality.

In his biography, titled ‘An Unsuitable Boy’, which has been jointly penned by Johar and Poonam Saxena, Karan has spoken about his life in detail.

“Everybody knows what my sexual orientation is. I don’t need to scream it out. If I need to spell it out, I won’t only because I live in a country where I could possibly be jailed for saying this. Which is why I Karan Johar will not say the three words that possibly everybody knows about me” he says.

Johar who has produced movies like ‘Dostana’, also spoke of rumours that surround him in the industry and the rumours of linking him up with Shah Rukh – that affected him on a personal level.

“For heaven’s sake, for years there were rumours about Shah Rukh and me. And I was traumatised by it. I was on a show on a Hindi channel, and I was asked about Shah Rukh.’Yeh anoka rishta hai aap ka,’ the interviewer said. He worded it in such a way that I got really angry. I said, ‘If I asked you if you are sleeping with your brother, how will you feel?’ So he said, `What do you mean? How can you ask me this question?’ I said, ‘How could you ask me this question?”

“For me, no matter what ups and downs Shah Rukh and I have been through, he is a father figure, an older brother to me. For me to look at him in that way or be subjected to those rumours was just ridiculous. But it didn’t bother him. He said, ‘People talk nonsense, and if a man does not have an extramarital affair, he is supposed to be gay” he added.

  • Hard hitting line by KJO..

    People here will criticise him for sure..

    Especially few salman fans..

    But one need to have guts to accept the fact what he/she is..

    Respect kjo sir respect..

  • How the hell could somebody even think
    Like that about SRK ????
    Gays are those who do not prefer to marry
    Like Salman khan …

  • He said, ‘People talk nonsense, and if a man does not have an extramarital affair, he is supposed to be gay” he added.

    Absolutely, Some real Gays think like that and the whole world knows that Salman khan is gay, if he isn’t gay, then why he doesn’t marry ?????????

  • ‘People talk nonsense, and if a man does not have an extramarital affair, he is supposed to be gay’

    What about someone who has neither declared himself a BRAMACHARI and remains unmarried till 50+ and spends whole day with his bodyguard? Is he a gay?? I am talking about an Indicine made numero uno crowdpuller

  • KJo you are successful enough to be bold, You are an unlikely hero, but why do you always keep hinting about your sexual orientation yourself… you need not to prove anything man !.. You works speak for you and people should be interested in your onscreen persona be it your films or Coffee show… But these filthy media retards are always interested what’s going back stage and these are the people who instead of propagating positivism spread negativity just for the sake of creating sensationalism, which is however disgusting but sells…

  • What he is talking is not sensible,if he thinks that he is living in country where he cant say that 3 words,he shoud do something for means should agitate against that india,you will not get that right easily,you have to fight for it & remember its long drawn battle.. & what you guys did in aib roaster shows ,is known by all country,dont try to be a being innocent & naive

  • People criticize him for stereotypical gay portrayal in Dostan, but at least he got the conversation started. He later also showed a goofd and realistic gay person in Kapoor and Sons, hats off to that.

  • Poor Gauri Khan found out what you were when see caught you rolling around in the bushes in her garden with her hubby….!

  • When is Salman Dabangg Khan coming out of the kast?! Pretty sure he is not that man enough yet. Secret bollywood. Respect Karan

  • well i am sorry to say i too hate homosexuality not because i am Muslim it’s because that i don’t see myself or anyone else putting his d****k inside another man s***t or girl to girl doing it with dildo that will be disgusting girls are created only for men so are men gays are disappointment to the human race

  • there is no need to clarify
    we know wat u r
    and wat u want to impose in India by ur films
    dostana and kapoor and sons
    is perfect example

  • It needs lots of courage to accept that He or she is Gay or Lesbian bcz people criticize you
    Even Gays have brothers and friends and Lesbians also have Sisters and friends
    And Srk and Karan johar are very good friends and like brothers that’s all.

  • I salute to KJO SIR’S DARING to accept THE TRUTH.taht’s why HE is still unmarried.

    But when our sallu bhabijaan will accept the same that he is too the same?even though whole universe knew the relationship between sallu and her the former husbands dawood Ibrahim and yakub Menon.and former husband Shera,rofl.

  • Finally it’s a tight slap to haters from KJO SIR who treats KING KHAN as HIS OLDER BROTHER.

    But When our salma bhabijaan will accept his “three word” status relationship with Shera?the nation is eagerly waiting for ,when the criminal will make known about his real gender,rofl.

  • Come on #KJo.. its your personal matter… We hv nothing to do with it… Its your call how you wanna spend your life…

    Sexual Orientation is not a choice made by you… Who are we to say you all this…

    Just chill and enjoy your life.. however you wanna enjoy

  • No wonder earthquake and other such activities are happening in the world…..a wrong cannot be right whichever justification you give

  • He will pull srk and every other known person on this planet to sell his book.

    The best thing that happened with Srk is more and more disassociation with this guy. He thinks he made Srk. I wonder if he mentioned in his crapography about he being the reason for srk’s achievement.

  • So, according to KJo, srk was having affair with PC to prove the world that he is not gay……what a load of bull$hit is this Kjo talking…….may be then this could have happened with PC and Srk.

    Srk to PC – our relationship ended

    PC to Srk – but nothing started

    Srk to PC – well, my good friend KJo planted it all over the news that there was something, you see….and he made sure that it proved to the world that I am not gay. I am so thankful for Kjo.

    I hope Srk kicks this guy on his a$$.

  • By the way, the current trend from Google – It is more interesting for Srk fans since it was completely oppose two-three weeks back-

    Raees – 99 percent
    Ok Jaanu – 53 percent
    Kaabil – 86 percent

    Raees is trending better now in central India and western region……looks like Raees is getting the upperhand as the release date is approaching.

  • So what even Salman Khan has Shera. He is also homosexual. No need to worry Karan Johar. Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan both are like you. You are not alone

  • We don’t care which gender belong to Karan Johar. ..

    We know only that he is the finest Director of Bollywoods who Direct wonderful Hindi movie which won Indians Heart.

    He know the Human Beings relation and we can see in all his movies. …
