Karan Johar Opens Up On Loneliness
In his recent appearance on tennis pro Sania Mirza’s show, Serving It Up With Sania, Johar said, "There was a point in time when I really wanted love. I wanted companionship, I wanted a relationship. And I went through all kinds of dynamics, a broken heart, and one-sided love. I even made a film on it. That was cathartic; it helped me heal."Further, he added, "People ask me to go abroad, go where? I live here, I have a mom and two kids. I have to live here. I’ve gone through those beats, and I do get lonely; it’s a reality. You get the loneliest in your highs, not your lows. Eating alone is another thing that makes you feel lonely." "Rab ne vo jodi mere liye nahi banayi (God hasn't made a partner for me)" the filmmaker concluded.
