Karan Johar: ‘You can talk about my sexuality but don’t make gay sound bad’

Over the years, people have constantly speculated about Karan Johar’s sexuality and while Karan has not opened up about his orientation, yet, he is quite miffed with homophobic people.

The filmmaker recently appeared on Arbaaz Khan’s chat show Quick Heal Pinch and while addressing the people who comment on his sexual orientation, KJo said, “It is my prerogative to talk about my life, my sexuality, my orientation. It is up to me. What I have a problem with is that there's a level of homophobia and that really bothers me because that's to me is sick. I mean you can talk about what you think my sexuality is, that is your prerogative, but if you are commenting and making gay sound bad that's when I have a problem because that means you have a sick mind, an uninformed mind, and an uneducated thought process and that’s what bothers me on a national fabric level.”

“You can say what you want about me, but don't make it sound like I have a disease or something is wrong with me and I should shut up because you think I am gay. Then you should shut up because you have no life. That's the way I look at it,” he further added.

Meanwhile, Karan is looking forward to the release of his upcoming production venture Kalank, which has been directed by Abhishek Varman and it stars Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Madhuri Dixit, Sanjay Dutt and Sonakshi Sinha.
