Filmmaker Karan Johar, known for his candid nature and unfiltered emotions, recently opened up about his past crush on actress Twinkle Khanna. In his memoir, An Unsuitable Boy, Johar confessed to having feelings for Khanna, a revelation he humorously revisited when she appeared on his talk show Koffee With Karan alongside her husband, actor Akshay Kumar.
During the show, Johar playfully admitted, “For a very brief moment in my life, I was in love with you, and I wonder why?” Twinkle Khanna, known for her quick wit, responded, “Because my testosterone is 11, which is almost a man’s, and I had a mustache at that point.” The exchange left Akshay Kumar in stitches, adding to the light-hearted moment.
Johar’s Humorous Take on Aging
Recently, Karan Johar took to Instagram to share a tongue-in-cheek note about aging and the pressures of maintaining youthful appearances. In a post written in Hindi, the filmmaker humorously commented on the use of cosmetic procedures, writing, “Fillers laga lo, fulfilment nahin milti…Makeup laga lo, umar hai ghat thi” (Applying fillers doesn’t bring fulfillment…applying makeup doesn’t make you younger). He continued with a witty jab at Botox, adding, “Karlo jitna bhi Botox, lagoge jaise madhumakkhi ne kaat liya…Naak badalne se gand itar nahi banti” (No matter how much Botox you do, you’ll end up looking like a fly stung you).
Johar’s Ongoing Projects and Influence
On the professional front, Karan Johar is reportedly working on the third installment of the Student of the Year franchise, which will be adapted into an OTT series. The series will be directed by Reema Maya, known for her critically acclaimed short film Nocturnal Burger.
Despite being a veteran in the industry, Johar continues to stay relevant, especially among Gen Z actors. With his modern outlook and impeccable fashion sense, he has not only remained a mentor to young stars like Ananya Panday, Janhvi Kapoor, and Suhana Khan but has also formed close friendships with them. As Johar continues to evolve, his influence on the younger generation remains undeniable.
