I am very proud of who I am: Karan Johar on sexual orientation

Updated:8 years, 8 months ago

New Delhi, Nov 12 (ANI): Karan Johar on Saturday finally spoke on his sexual orientation asserting that he is not embarrassed but proud of his sexuality and that it’s his orientation which defines him. The filmmaker, who for the first time addressed the curiosity around his sexuality in his biography ‘An Unsuitable Boy’, said the book was his final answer to the world and he will not get into any further details. "I have never expressed my sexual orientation in those many words. I have insinuated a lot and have said what I wanted to say in my book.” "I will never say that I am embarrassed or ashamed to say it. I am very proud of who I am and who I will always be. Whatever I have written in the book is the truth and I stand by every word of it," Johar said. "There were two kinds of criticism. First, I was asked why I didn't make it clear what I wanted to say. And my reply to that is, 'it's my right'. Another criticism I faced was that people asked me why I am like this. There are so many people out there who don't understand the concept of personal orientation. "Every morning I get up, I face a lot of trolling on Twitter, Instagram and on other platforms. If I post a picture with a pout, then people make filthy comments," he said. Johar added that the comments used to make him angry initially, but now he feels "amused and just smile when people make such comments".
