Karan Johar’s Concerns to talk about his Sexual Orientation in India
Karan Johar has given a reason on why he doesn’t and can’t talk about his sexuality on public platforms in his own Autobiography “An Unsuitable Boy” the book he has written with Poonam Saxena. He wrote “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.”
Karan further went on to write about the regressive approach and homophobia in our country. And the daily abuse he read on social media about him especially on Twitter quoted as saying “I have become like the poster boy of homosexuality in this country. But honestly, I have no problem with people saying what they want about me. Twitter has the most abuse. I wake up to at least 200 hate posts saying, ‘Get out, you’re polluting our nation, you’re dirtying society’ or ‘Shove [IPC Section] 377 up your arse.’ I get this on a daily basis and I’ve learned to laugh it off”.
Karan Johar’s Reaction on Abrogation of Section 377

Decriminalizing homosexuality and abolishing #Section377 is a huge thumbs up for humanity and equal rights! The country gets its oxygen back!”

Relationship Between Shah Rukh Khan And Karan Johar
He has also cleared all the rumors about his and Shah Rukh Khan’s relationship in the book quoted as “For heaven’s sake, for years there were rumors about Shah Rukh and me. And I was traumatized by it. I was on a show on a Hindi channel, and I was asked about Shah Rukh.’Yeh Anokha 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 rumors was just ridiculous.”
Karan johar sir, today Supreme Court strike down article 377. It’s a historic day for the people who believe in equal rights for all. Congratulations to both of you. pic.twitter.com/15RlxpApnZ
