With all the showy ways and with a very Karan Johar way of
making movies, Karan comes across to be a vivacious person. A bang on sense of humour and
a strong individuality surely makes the filmmaker stand out. While we have
hardly ever seen him frown, here is something Karan confesses he despises.
During a latest interview, he confessed that he hates
being called KJo, Uncle or Sir. On being questioned what his mother calls him,
Karan disclosed, “Karan. My college friends call me Karu, which is the worst.
Only in our country can we make a short form for a short name. But otherwise,
I’ve never had a pet name all my life. But now, in official meetings, someone
will call me KJo. And I’ll judge that person in my head. Just call me Karan.
You have some kids who will come through family friends and work in the company
[Dharma Productions]. You cross a certain age and you are Uncle. And — pardon
my French — but I’ll f*** you if you’re going to call me Uncle.”
On further being asked if it is vanity the Ae Dil Hai
Mushkil director confessed, “I think so. It’s not like I think I’m a
beauty queen. But I feel that if I am called Uncle, my thoughts have to
constantly be relevant. It’s not the reminder about my age. It’s the formality.
I can’t function with it.”
