Karan Johar: I would like to be a parent. I feel the paternal instinct needs to be acted upon

Filmmaker Karan Johar‘s autobiography ‘An Unsuitable Boy’ was finally launched by his best friend superstar Shah Rukh Khan. He has co-authored the book with Poonam Saxena, who is the editor of a leading daily’s weekly supplement. His autobiography has already garnered lots of attention thanks to the honest confessions made by the man in it. From his sexual orientation, fight with Kajol and Kareena Kapoor Khan to his equation with Shah Rukh Khan, he has bared it all in the book.

At the book launch, he spoke candidly about parenting. He said, “I would like to be a parent. I don’t know in what capacity, I don’t know how it’s going to happen, I don’t have answers to those questions. But I do feel the need because I have love to offer. Since it (love) is there, I would like to take it forward. I feel the paternal instinct needs to be acted upon. I feel there is so much within me and the love has to have a release, it is not going into a relationship, it goes to my mother, friends, company.”

He also spoke about his protectiveness for his ‘Student Of The Year’ actors. He said, “I feel I have a nurturing quality in me. I saw that most when I launched Alia, Sidharth and Varun. I can’t let them go off even now. It has been nearly five years but I see myself staring at what they’re doing. Even for all those at ‘Dharma’. The emotion comes from a very strong paternal space.”

Well, after all that he’s said, we truly think that Karan will make for a loving father.
