I feel very sad that love has always been a failure in my life, says Karan Johar

His last release ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ gave a new perspective of love and friendship making an instant connect with everyone. Filmmaker Karan Johar is by far known for even directing some of the biggest romantic movies in Bollywood. But recently, the filmmaker literally opened up his heart saying that his love life has always been a flop. The director even confessed that he had a full ‘ek tarfa pyaar’ moments kind of three relationships in his life which never got a response.

Talking about it at an ongoing Times LitFest on the topic of ‘Men, Women, Loneliness’, Karan Johar said, “My film record, I have 100 percent success, my love record is a 100 percent flop. I have never fallen in love with anyone who has loved me back. I think it’s what kept my self-esteem in check. Because every time I give a hit film, I give a flop relationship. It kind of balances me in some ways. I have had three epic fail relationships. They were not even relationships but full ‘ek tarfa pyaar’ moments.”

“Either I choose the wrong person or I think no end of myself in that situation. One of the two happens to me and I fall flat on my face. I feel very sad that love has always been a failure in my life. It has never been a success,” added the director.

Further, Karan even added saying here, “Trust me I have tried (searching for love). When people say ‘put yourself out there’ I don’t know what that ‘there’ is or how to get there. I have tried and I have failed. Then people say ‘oh in your position you can find anyone’. I don’t know what position they are talking about. I have just not managed to succeed. It is terrifying.”
