Karan Johar was called pansy in school.

Filmmaker Karan Johar says he used to be
called 'pansy' in school, but a teacher gave
him the courage to face the world.
"The word pansy, which is commonly used
for a boy who talks and walks like a girl, was
used for me," Karan said during an
upcoming episode of Star Plus' "India's Next
Superstar".
Karan spoke about it following a
contestant's performance of an act on a
'pansy' man who loved dancing, which left
him moved, read a statement.
"This performance took me back to my
childhood days," he said.
"I used to dance on girls' songs and my
friends used to make fun of me. Upset about
this, I went to an elocution teacher at the
age of 13 and she said, Why do you want to
change the way talk, you're just fine'. That's
when I gathered the courage to face the
world.
"Today if I was still talking like that I
wouldn't change it. Even if one of my kids
talk or walk like that, I wouldn't change
them," added Karan.
