Karan Johar divulges the reason behind making film movie Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham!

In a special letter, Filmmaker Karan Johar opened up about his parents and family. The director wrote a long letter to a leading daily where he expressed his feelings and poured his heart out mentioning about his late father Yash Johar.

The director also disclosed why he made the movie Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

Filmmaker Karan Johar wrote, "Before I decided to have children, I use to feel very guilty about not spending time with my mother. She used to get lonely and I didn’t know what to do about it. I found myself running away from the sadness of it all, because I felt I should be there for her a lot more. Yash and Roohi have changed that.

My children are now 15 months old and for all this while my mom and I have been living a perfect dream. They have been glorious months and I sometimes think – when is the first crack going to come? I am so scared, I find myself touching wood all the time."

He added, "I may have to contend with the question of whether my children will have the same relationship with me as I have had with my parents. They are my children and I have to trust them with abandon. I hope they never take me to court – as so many are doing today – because that will be a big shock to my system."

About making Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Karan writes, "I cannot communicate with people who make their parents suffer. I made Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, with ‘It’s all about loving your parents’, as the tagline. That is my reality. My parents are my world. My life is about them."

"I do feel that a chemical imbalance might be the reason for violence against parents. I can understand siblings fighting; can even comprehend couples sparring, but I cannot understand the breakdown of relations between you and those who give birth to you. In the end, what I do want to say is that if you’ve given up on loving your parents, consider them your duty. If it is not deep love, it should be deep duty. Make it your duty, your responsibility. For me, it will always be, “It’s all about loving your parents'," the director finished his letter.
