Karan Johar : Technology killed romance

Filmmaker Karan Johar, who has helmed some of Bollywood’s most romantic films since making his directorial debut with “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” in 1998, says that the increased use of technology in daily lives is taking romance away from people.

“Technology definitely killed romance….how can Facetime and Skype ever replace waiting and longing for your loved one,” Karan tweeted Saturday.

Karan’s movies are all about love and loved ones. From “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”, “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham” to “My Name Is Khan” and “Student of the Year” — love has been a recurring theme in all his directorials.

Johar’s next directorial project is the romantic film “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, and Anushka Sharma in pivotal roles.
