Karan Johar confesses on accidentally fat-shaming his son

Karan Johar, one of Bollywood's most beloved directors and producers, is known for his candidness and willingness to share personal struggles with his fans. In a recent interview, Karan spoke about a sensitive issue concerning his son's weight and the unintended consequences of his comments.

In an interview with Faye D’Souza, Karan Johar admitted that he had accidentally fat-shamed his son during a holiday, a moment he deeply regretted. Karan expressed his heartbreak over seeing his son consume sugar and gain weight, which has made him paranoid. However, he is reluctant to impose his concerns on his son, as he wants him to enjoy his childhood. “I want him to be happy and joyous because he is a happy child,” Karan said.

Karan Johar acknowledged that his concerns about weight are rooted in genetics, noting that his son has inherited traits from both his mother and himself. He reflected on the struggle of balancing his parental instincts with the desire to allow his son to make his own choices. “I wanted my kid to be an individual of his own choice. I am finding myself really struggling from saying insensitive stuff to my own children,” he added.

Kjo then recounted a specific incident from a family vacation where he mentioned his son’s weight gain. Realizing the potential harm of his words, he quickly hugged his son, apologized, and encouraged him to eat whatever he wanted. This moment highlighted Karan's awareness of the impact of his words and his commitment to being a supportive and understanding parent.

Despite the personal challenges, Karan Johar is busy with his professional commitments. He is gearing up for his latest production venture, Bad Newz, which stars Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri, and Amy Virk. The film is set to release on July 19 and promises to be an exciting addition to Karan's illustrious career.
