Filmmaker Karan Johar recently opened up about his journey as a human being, highlighting he feels a sense of pride and wouldn't trade a thing to live any differently. During his recent appearance on the podcast  ‘Jaane Mann’ with astrologer and Vastu consultant Jai Madaan, KJo shared an insight into his childhood and how he always felt different compared to other boys. 

He said, “I was never like the other boys—their interests, their style, their sports—it just wasn’t me. It took me years to understand that I don’t owe anyone an apology for being different. I’ve embraced who I am, and that’s become my power”. He further mentioned, “To this day, I have never regretted the way I’ve lived or the work I’ve pursued. Everything I do is for me, unapologetically. I just want to live my truth.”

Karan Johar's most recent project, 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani' starring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh was a box-office success. The filmmaker announced his new project on his birthday in May but has yet to share more details about it.
