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.

  • I apologize to all Khans’ fans as I have taken too much digs at them but always tasted dust like my favorite Hrithik Duggu – Papa ka beta…

    OK Jaanu is a written Flop… it’ll be of same fate as Befikre… People are bored of messy complex metropolitan love stories… They had too much to bear in ADHM for now… When the original ‘O Kadhal Kanmani’ was released it was one of it’s kind for regional viewers and the fresh storytelling of Mani Ratnam sailed it through becoming a success… Shaad Ali didn’t have an impressive track record either… And Aditya Roya Kapoor’s hiccup-hiccup dialogue delivery is a certain put-off…!

  • Is karan madam trying to cover up the real inside relationship between srk and him by clarifying he is like brother. Rumors were not rumors until there wasnt any little truth. Also U cannot admit in publicly that u and srk are in relation rather u would say that he is like ur brother.even srk had fiven lots of hint in awards show that his hearts beat for u? so dont overwhelmed it is what it is?

  • look whose fanz r commenting on an article related to word ‘Gey’. Chamchas of the same old guy who caught kissing a British actor named John Barrowman in his gey frndz movie My name is gey khan. same film also has a dialogue_ My name is Khan and i’m not a gey (too much used of word Gey) ?. Bhai iss mamle mai to tum logonko chup hi rehna chahiye!

    @Aamir-emperor : First of all I don’t think u r a ‘Real’ Aamir Fan coz the way u r blabbering nonsense on Bhai in any recent Dangal related articles, it seems u r more like a Buddha Hakla fan. Learn something from u’r mates likes Navin/Rew1/Sky how they respect Bhai… BT let’s forget it.

    I’m laughing on u’r logic here. So according to you, Guys like Rahul Gandhi, Ratan Tata, Atal Ji, Late Mr. Kalam saab, Social worker Anna Hazare or our very own Bollywood star Akshaye khanna all were geys coz they didn’t married.

    Do you have any evidence or any trusted links which describes relationship between them ? Really… means anybody who is Unmarried and spends his time with any male has got extramarital affair with him and he becomes gey. Right ? Waah! Kya logic hai matlab bolna hai to kuch bhi sahi.

    What do you mean by Saying #indicine made Numero uno Crowd puller Ha ? If u don’t have trust on #indicine then simply go and spend you’re time on other Bolly related sites, there are plenty of them.

    BTW the guy whom you admired (maybe, not sure) also ditched his First wife and her 2 childs and now spending his time by getting married with a Female ‘Harry Porter’ version ? oh! I forget they got a child too with the help of Surrogacy. No offence to Aamir BT if you will keep bashing Bhai on his personal issues then we too are not Saints to digest u’r bakwaas everytime. So think before speaking anything.

  • @sss : Ek test marley Salman ke saath to check his potency. May be you can send your GF to do it. Karegaa daregaa to nahi ??

  • What’s wrong if someone is a homosexual. Is it their fault to be like that? Eve if Kjo is one, on the professional front he is a highly successful writer, director, producer as well as an amazing host. He has also given a life to many new comers in the industry. He is a great person. We all love you and respect you Kjo.

  • Shut up karan Johar. Nobody cares about your sexual orientation. People care about what kind of movies you make if you keep making these urban rom-com craps people are gonna hate you. You should focus on producing films like sultan, dangal etc not these hollywood wanna be rom com craps. so shut up and focus on producing better movies . Nobody gives a flying F* about your sexual orientation

  • In India, more than 50% people think gays and transgenders are same! Why?
    Gay is what you have seen through Fawad’s character in Kapoor &Sons!
    Transgenders are completely different things!

  • @Nafson3d. pathetic comment. gays are not keeping human race backwards, its people who are narrow minded that are. i also dont like male on male(like watching female on female though :p) but who are we to judge anyone upon their gender?

    i will always be against anything that differentiates humans be it nationality, religion or any other thing.

  • @Sehwag-the bald, please change your name because of disrespect of our legend batsman Sehwag, everybody knows that sehwag has less hair on his head that means not that anyone disrespect him.

  • @hrithik,WE have already knew that bhabijan is an impotent.

    But you’re not agreeing,then kindly sent your newly wedded wife to bhabijaan.I can assure you 100?,bhabijaan will fail,and your wife will be completely remain safe there,I guaranteed you on that.

  • @12:54pm

    Everyone knows very well that how gangu teli produce babies with the help of others.

    @javeda

    Similarly if one get married that doesn’t mean that he is not a gay. Eg- look at your gangu teli.?

  • Bhai gets opportunity to test the mojo of most beautiful women of the planet. Then WTH he should get married to stick to only one lady???

  • @mekanik

    “Finally it’s a tight slap to haters from KJO SIR”…. Abey illiterate dehati, read the article again call her ‘gyjo madam’ not ‘gyjo sir’??

    Why don’t you better ask your gangu teli to reveal that she is the begum of h-a-f-i-z s-a-e-e-d???

  • @Boyzone,dumpos like u won’t understand that SRK was actually trolling people like u spreading the rumour about him and KJO.

  • @The beast
    LOL I dont like SRK. Its just Indicine who made me furious by saying Salman>Srk> Aamir

    Anyway I wont bash Salman from here on!!!!

  • Look at the insecurity of SRk fans,the first three comments are against Salman Khan why? And btw if KJO and Srk were together then would you think he would tell about it in Public.

  • @complan Boy

    Dunno about bhai but I do know Gauri Khan had to take up the shahrugacy option in order to have AbRam conceived bcoz her hubby/ your dadajis mojo was no longer functional…!

  • @sss : Ultimately you will show your aukaat by bringing families. Can never expect sense from 2 rupees bhaade ka bicycle mechanic who will even abuse own family for G@y Rukh Khan !!!!!!!!

  • lol…. wasn’t srk involved in extramarital ? then Priyanka may be wife of SRK…. Lier.. lying like SRK.

  • @tiger-the real beggar,ha ha ha ha.abey illitearte rikshawala beggar,Tehy didn’t have mentioned about KJO SIR’S gender whethee it is male or female.so when they’ll mention that ,then come here to blabber,rofl.

    And if you can call your impotent bhabijaan as he/him so why I can’t do the same with My KJO SIR?hypocrisy?huh!!!!,rofl.

    Also no need to ask your bhabijaan,everyone already knew this that bhabijaan had been the r-a-k-h-a-i-l of dawood,yakub Menon,Abdul lateef,rofl.

    @navin,And WE too don’t know which r-a-k-h-a-i-l gave birth to salma bhabijaan,as most of us may not know bhabijaan adopted by Salim sir ,so sohail,arbaaz are true sons of him.while salma bhabijaan is n-a-j-a-y-a-z son of him,rofl.

  • @hrirhik,aukaat toh ussi din dikha diya thaa,when you brought my family member means sister once on this same topic might you didn’t even remember.and also relationship like Girl Friend is might be a joke like you,because only dirty minds can think like Girl Friends are use & through stuffs.that’s why for those behaviour,I forced to bring your family member so that you can realise that thing.so don:t cry now anymore.

    So propels like you rikshawala bheekari of Bangalore can abuse his own family member for a criminal like salg@y Khan,so no need to astonish about this fact because you’re that much degraded person ,such a shit personality and shit minded person you’re.

  • @sss : We dont know from which Pakistani Khotaa haklu took birth, there are high chances that Hafeez Saeed is one of his father that is why he keeps calling haklu to come there and join him in war against India. Hafeez Saeed ki naja-yaz aulaad ko bol India chodd ke bhaagey !!!!!!!!!

    NOTE : I am just speaking in the language this retard understand, I have no intention or rights to bring anyone family or abuse one’s birth but sometime we need to behave like demons to teach such devilish demons like @sss aka Indicine ki r-a-k-h-a-i-l !!!!!!!!!!!

  • @hrithik,that means you’re also a Pakistani?which Pakistani khotaa took birth to you?as you’re too all Muslims,who are originated from Turki,not from India like WE HINDUS.so get lost Pakistani beggar.really beggars like you should have left India during the partition,then why you Pakistani r-a-k-h-a-i-l remained here like shamless?hypocrisy?huh!!

    Abdul rashid salman Khan,native of Afghanistan may belongs to some terrorist like Osama’s naajayaz son,who later adopted by Salim Khan whose real wife was sheen.don’t know which r-a-k-h-a-i-l gave birth to that manhooj criminal.must be osama’s paidaish,rofl.woh India nahi chor sakta,usko hum INDIA GATE ke saamne phaasi denge just like his terrorist husband yakub Menon.itni assani se jaane nahi denge.then WE HINDUS will kick in your ass of you jihad terrorist Muslims out of India and will sent you to Pakistan or will hang you like your criminal idol.

    Note: all such derogatory language started by your mate @navin,@you and all such porkistan natives.if you play with FIRE,you’ll be burn like hell,so enjoy,rofl.I’m here to kick all such criminal,khuni,woman beater,jihadi terrorist like you,whose main criteria to insult STARS AND HIS FAMILY MEMBERS to save your star’s @ss,then WE can too do that even better than you.mind it.
