The Both Shades

Well critics say that Karan Johar has been anything but hesitant when it comes to speaking his mind. While there are so many label related to masculinity which define our lives, these myths have become an essential part of our lives. But it is not the case, when it comes to Karan Johar!

He revealed that he would never want his twins, Yash Johar and Roohi Johar to live their lives in a typical manner. The manners and traditions, they are defined by the society; me and my children are not bound to follow them. He had stated, “If my girl wants to wear shorts, she shouldn’t be called a tomboy; she should be called sporty. I would not say things like, a girl must wear pink! No. My son likes pink, let him wear pink.
