Karan Johar’s most candid interview on Bollywood, depression, homosexuality and having kids

Funny, witty and candid, Karan Johar discusses his book, “An Suitable Boy”, his journey from being a costume designer to a director and much more with Shoma Chaudhury at Algebra, The Arts & Ideas Club on 13-May-2017. While talking about his work, Karan feels that “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” is his most autobiographical piece of work. He feels that its his most perfect film. Discussing depression, Karan feels that medical health is highly neglected in India and that the society has to start acknowledging that the pain in one’s mind is just as much destructive as body pain. While talking about his loss of friendship with Kajol, he says that he has abstained from talking about it to respect Kajol’s silence. He also feels that his friendship with Shahrukh Khan is at its peak right now. And when asked about his future endeavours he says, “I don’t know who I was and I don’t know where I am heading but I can tell you its going to be a lot of fun”. Karan Johar, one of Bollywood’s most celebrated directors is best known for his works such as “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”, “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham”, “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna”, and “My Name Is Khan”.

The key idea behind Algebra is to bring together a fellowship of people who believe great cities are built not just on infrastructure but a life of the mind; who understand robust and liberal societies need the oxygen of great conversation and nuanced thinking. At a time when we are increasingly surrounded by rage and noise, Algebra is that unique live and continuous space where people could go for a genuine exchange of ideas and exposure to issues; where new seeds could be sparked, fresh perspectives formed, and intelligent connections made. Algebra – the Arts and Ideas Club is designed to host over 60 conversations over the year with topline thinkers and practitioners from almost every discipline that impacts human affairs: politics, economy, environment, spirituality, cinema, medicine, science, technology, music, media, literature, the arts, sports, people’s movements, et al. In a line, Algebra is a space where one can meet an exciting, cutting-edge spectrum of people shaping the world in different ways. Where one can test one’s ideas, challenge one’s perspectives, and build friendships. A sort of fellowship of the curious and engaged. Membership to Algebra is by invitation or referral.
