Karan Johar recently lashed out at a troll on Twitter when that troll questioned his sexuality. A faceless troll that goes by the name of Indian Sherlock tweeted to Karan, asking him, if he's a gay. The troll tweeted, "@karanjohar Are you a gay? I'm ready to lay if you launch me". In a case of utter insensitivity, the troll offered to sleep with him if he launches him in his film. Usually the one to ignore, Karan couldn't control his emotions and lashed out at him. He said, "Listen Sherlock!!! First solve the mystery of your existence??? The prize will be to LAUNCH a missile up your arse!!!"
For all the ignorants, an excerpt from his biography, An Unsuitable Boy, was released, where he talked about his sexual orientation and mentioned how most people are aware about it but he won't come out on record as that could land him in jail. The excerpt read, "Everybody knows what my sexual orientation is. I don't need to scream it out. And if I need to spell it out, I won't only because I live in a country where I could possibly be jailed for saying this. Which is why I Karan Johar will not say the three words that possibly everybody knows about me in any case. I've given hints. I've stood on a platform like AIB Roast, and I had half of the people supporting me and the other half dissing me for doing this. But at the end of the day , I did what I did, and I did it with my mother in the front row, and screw you if you have a problem with that."

After the excerpt went viral, Karan Johar received flak from the LGBTQ community. Famous LGBT activist, Pallav Patankar told a leading tabloid, "If an uneducated person in a remote Indian village comes and tells me that they are scared of coming out, I'd take it, but this coming from somebody with a stature as big as Karan's, I feel let down. He should be coming out as an empowered and powerful individual and actually make a difference for those helpless people living in villages. People who were earlier considering coming out will now sit and think twice, worried that an FIR might be involved - but this is baseless. You won't be arrested for coming out."
