Karan Johar reveals being inspired by his family

Karan revealed, “I remember there was an incident that happened in my family where a member of my family actually had dementia. He had gone back to his past love. Only thing is he was a married man and he kept taking the name of this one lady. He just said this name and it was a scandal. And then the truth came out that he was actually having an affair. And there was drama happening in and around this situation and my father had to fly down. My mother had to fly down. I remember instead of feeling terrible about what was happening between these three people at an average age of 82. I was like, ‘wow, like this is great.’”

The Ae Dil Hai Mushkil actor further added, “For me, I’m so obsessed with infidelity. I made a movie on it and I remember someone telling me, ‘Why are you endorsing infidelity?’ I’m like, ‘Dude, you can’t endorse something that’s already sold out.’ Just emotionally speaking, I’m always intrigued by the idea of infidelity and how it can be a reality.”
