SRK: Karan Johar is different, it is difficult being different in our country
Having closely associated with Karan Johar in professional as well as personal world, Shah Rukh Khan praises his celebrity pal’s bravery in the tell-all book, the biography ‘An Unsuitable Boy’
Shah Rukh Khan recently launched Karan Johar’s biography, ‘An Unsuitable Boy’, wherein the Bollywood filmmaker has candidly shared his sexual orientation. Karan Johar has stated that he doesn’t want to spell it out as he would be jailed for doing the same in India. “Karan’s biography should be titled ‘The Brave Boy’. He is extremely different and it is difficult being different, especially in our country and the society that we have to live in. We have to face that. To achieve what he has done with the gusto, is beyond the greatest of achievements. I have not read ‘An Unsuitable Boy’ so I don’t know how much of the different part has been written about,” says Shah Rukh Khan, who shares a very close relation with Karan Johar.
SRK goes on to add how very sensitive Karan Johar is and understands everyone very well. “I have the inability to express my feelings, I have oversensitivity issues. I am complex and damaged. But I realise that apart from my family, the only person who can give me space or figure out how I am feeling, has been only Karan. He can make out if I am angry or sad, and I have seen him being sensitive to everyone around,” concludes Shah Rukh Khan.
