Karan Johar has always been known for his candidness and during a recent interview, the filmmaker offered a rare glimpse into the unseen digital corridors of Bollywood. When a fan jokingly proposed the idea of turning celebrity WhatsApp chats into a movie or book, KJo’s witty response drew instant laughs. He quipped that if people ever got access to these private chat groups involving him and his industry friends, they might all have to relocate to London because staying in Mumbai would be nearly impossible.
Delving deeper, Karan described these WhatsApp groups as brutally honest spaces where filters are non-existent. He explained that the participants freely critique everything around them, from fashion to films that too in a tone that’s often sharp, humorous and occasionally harsh. According to him, the exchanges are far too candid to ever be made public, with everyone sharing strong opinions that would never see the light of day otherwise.
As one of Bollywood’s most well-connected insiders, Karan’s insights into these backstage dynamics only heighten the curiosity of fans who relish behind-the-scenes drama. His central position in the industry’s social fabric makes his revelations both believable and intriguing.
While dishing out these digital confessions, Karan continues to make waves elsewhere too. He is currently hosting The Traitors, a gripping reality show featuring 20 celebrities engaged in a high-stakes game of trust and deception. With the grand finale set for July 3, the show has showcased personalities like Raj Kundra, Lakshmi Manchu, Sahil Salathia, Maheep Kapoor, Mukesh Chhabra, Raftaar, Elnaaz Norouzi, Uorfi Javed and Jannat Zubair.
Adding to his packed schedule, Karan also made an appearance at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of Homebound, a Dharma Productions film helmed by Neeraj Ghaywan. The movie stars Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa and Janhvi Kapoor in pivotal roles, further cementing Karan’s continued influence on both mainstream and international cinema.
