Bollywood's renowned director Karan Johar is often called the "Gossip King," and this is due to his close connection with film stars. Karan not only parties with these stars but also has an exclusive group where all sorts of insider information and gossip about Bollywood are shared.
Karan Johar: Bollywood's famous filmmaker Karan Johar often makes headlines for his outspoken opinions, gossip, and glamorous lifestyle. Recently, he revealed something in an interview that shocked his fans and people associated with the industry. Karan mentioned that he has a secret WhatsApp group that includes several big names from the film industry, and if its chat ever leaked, he would have to leave Mumbai and flee to London.
In Barkha Dutt's show Mojo Story, Karan Johar was asked if he had ever thought about making a book or a film about this group of his film fraternity. To this, Karan first burst out laughing, then said, "If anyone gets access to our WhatsApp group, I can guarantee that we won't be able to show our faces in this city. We'll have to go straight to London."
If the chat leaked... Karan is haunted by fear
Karan said that everyone in this group has a complete license to express their opinions. Whether it's someone's fashion, someone's performance, or the new trends in the industry, the members of the group comment on each other without any hesitation. Karan said, "We are all film critics, fashion critics, and lifestyle critics in that group."
Someone's new haircut, someone's flop film, or someone's relationship – everything is discussed, and that too with complete honesty. If those things come out, we'll be in trouble.
From Karan Johar's conversation, it is clear that this 'secret group' of Bollywood is a kind of gossip hotspot where everyone's activities are closely monitored. Karan said with a laugh, "People speak so openly in our WhatsApp group that if all that goes into the public domain, a lot of people won't forgive us."
What conversations take place in the Bollywood celebs' group?
Karan Johar, who has been at the center of gossip and politics for a long time, never feels ashamed to consider himself the 'Gossip King.' He admitted that gossip is like an unspoken custom for maintaining friendship in the film fraternity. "We all enjoy keeping tabs on each other," Karan said with a smile.
Talking about Karan's professional life, after Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, he has taken a slight break from directing and is focusing more on production. Currently, he is hosting the reality show The Traitors, in which his charismatic and outspoken style is also visible. Apart from this, his produced film Sarzameen is going to be released on Jio Hotstar on July 25, which has high expectations from the audience.
From this interview with Karan Johar, one thing is certain – the more glamorous and dazzling world that appears inside the film industry, the more sharp and pointed talk is behind it, which often remains hidden behind the scenes. The way Karan revealed the secrets of his WhatsApp group makes it clear that the big stars of Bollywood also have their own separate world full of fun and outspokenness, which remains far from the eyes of the common people.
