Karan Johar reveals getting questions about their mother from his kids
While speaking to Faye D’Souza, Karan Johar revealed that he often ends up dealing with questions about their mother. According to him, these situations are not easy, and neither is being a parent.
He said, "It is a modern family. It is an unusual circumstance, so now I am also dealing with the questions about ‘whose stomach was I born in? But mumma is not mumma really, she is my grandmother.’ I am going to school, to the counsellor, to ask how do we navigate the situation? And it is not easy, being a parent is never easy."
Karan Johar admits being guilty of fat-shaming his son, Yash
During the conversation, the filmmaker went on to admit being guilty of projecting his insecurities on his son, Yash. He recalled accidentally fat-shaming his son. He said that it breaks his heart to see his son consume sugar and put on weight, which even gets him paranoid.
He also confesses that he does not want to say this to his son, as he feels that this is the age he wants him to live his life. “I want him to be happy and joyous because he is a happy child.”
Despite the fact, KJo further added that he can see the genetics, and he cannot call it a flaw as he has gotten it from his mother and his son is getting it from him.
