Don’t dare call Karan Johar ‘Uncle’ or this is what he will do!

After a certain age, people do tend to refer to you as ‘aunt’ or ‘uncle’ out of respect. But well, show this respect to Karan Johar and he will hate you forever. KJo recently spilled a few beans about himself at a recent interview and he said that he does not like people who call him an uncle.

When asked what his mother calls him, he says, “Karan. My college friends call me Karu, which is the worst. Only in our country can we make a short form for a short name. But otherwise, I’ve never had a pet name all my life. But now, in official meetings, someone will call me KJo. And I’ll judge that person in my head. Just call me Karan. You have some kids who will come through family friends and work in the company [Dharma Productions]. You cross a certain age and you are uncle. And — pardon my French — but I’ll f*** you if you’re going to call me uncle.”

When asked whether this is his vanity, he said, “I think so. It’s not like I think I’m a beauty queen. But I feel that if I am called uncle, my thoughts have to constantly be relevant. It’s not the reminder about my age. It’s the formality. I can’t function with it.”

We shall remember this!
