Karan Johar also shared his review of Adolescence and expressed how it is a lesson in parenting. In his Instagram post, he said, “To be a parent... I have always known that raising a child is as much a blessing as it is an arduous responsibility.” The filmmaker mentioned how no book or podcast can prepare a person to be the best version of themselves as a parent. He emphasized the importance of being the best version of yourself.
Explaining how children mirror their parents’ actions, Karan stated, “What you say, how you say it, what you feel and how you express it… your habits, your behaviour, your ideologies, your politics… EVERYTHING is eventually going to rub off on your child.”
Coming to the Netflix series, the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani director shared, “Adolescence is a wake-up loud call to parents who are raising children in times of social media... I grew up on conversations they speak in emojis… I grew up on books they scroll reels.. I grew up on self discovery they are surrounded by comparisons… the pandemic is NOW! We just don’t see it.”

Talking about raising his kids, Yash and Roohi, he expressed his gratitude to the show for building his awareness. He stated, “This is more than a series; it’s a forever lesson.” He concluded his note by thanking the creators and Netflix.
