People do talk a lot about Karan Johar‘s sexuality and how he is in person, but it’s rare that the director comes out in open and speaks about his personal life. Even though he manages to get the stars spill the beans over their respective lives on his show ‘Koffee With Karan’, we hardly know anything about him. But now, in a recent interview, KJo has given us a sneak peek into his personal life. He has shared about his love story like never before.
Talking about his first love he informed, “The first time I fell in love, I was in my 20s, and I loved someone right till I was 31. And then I felt that emotion died within me. I wasn’t feeling alive at all. But the second time I fell in love – this was another 7-8 year phase – I realised that while it is heartbreaking and the worst feeling in the world, it made me feel alive. I felt something had woken me up. You can take the power of that feeling and translate it to every other aspect of your life, including your work. You don’t have to get it back. The moment I felt it come to a close – I knew I wouldn’t even be able to handle the friendship at the time; it was that difficult – it got a little messy in my head, which is why I needed to talk to a stranger, like a therapist.”

When probed about the name of these two girls whom he fell in love with, he said, “I won’t tell. There is this constant conjecture about my sexuality but even I have my boundaries. And for various reasons. They could be deeply personal. Or they could be familial. My sense of liberation has definitely happened in the last decade. I am that much more open and liberated about large parts of my personal life, but there are some things that I will not share.”
