In a conversation with Faye D바카라Souza, Karan Johar opened up about how he felt that he had let down his parents because he was 바카라effeminate.바카라 He mentioned that he was different than the other boys in his school and that made him feel more conscious about himself. He said, 바카라I felt I failed a lot as a child first. I felt I was failing my parents. I felt I wasn바카라t the boy that they should have had. I was conditioned to believe that because I was effeminate. I was unlike all the other boys in my school.바카라

Talking about his childhood, he recalled an incident where he performed at a function in his school. He mentioned that some people were 바카라sneering and laughing바카라 at his performance, while his mother watched him in the audience. He mentioned that this incident made him more conscious about his body. He also revealed that he used to go to a public speaking class for his voice, but he never talked about it to his parents.

The director said, 바카라There was a gentleman there who told me that I had an effeminate voice and that it isn바카라t going to be easy in life for me. He sent me to a class that would bring some kind of baritone in my voice. All this time, I was telling my dad that I was going for computer classes because I didn바카라t want to tell them that this is what I was going to do.바카라

In the same conversation, Johar mentioned that he continues to battle body dysmorphia even today. He said that he always wears oversized clothes to feel more comfortable. On the work front, Johar is currently producing the Vicky Kaushal-Triptii Dimri starrer 바카라Bad Newz.바카라
