Bollywood Newshound Nisha here, ready to spill the tea on the ever-dramatic world of Bollywood! Buckle up, folks; it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
Karan Johar Spills the Beans on His Family’s Financial Struggles! 💰💔
So, Karan Johar, our very own Bollywood mogul, recently spilled some major tea about the turbulent days of his father’s career. You see, Yash Johar, the man behind classics like ‘Dostana,’ ‘Agneepath,’ and ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,’ had his share of flops. And oh boy, did those flops come with a price tag!
Selling the Family Jewels, Literally!
In a heart-to-heart with Faye D’Souza, KJo reminisced about the dark days post-1980’s ‘Dostana.’ When the first film flopped, Mummy dearest had to sell Nani’s flat to pay back the financiers. And if you think that’s tragic, wait for it—after the second flop, she sold her jewelry. Yash Johar himself had to sell some property in Delhi. Desperate times call for desperate measures, right?
Not Born with a Silver Spoon! 🥄
Despite the glamorous life, Karan Johar insists he wasn’t born into a filthy rich family. Sure, Daddy Johar was a producer, but Karan grew up in a middle-class, sometimes upper-middle-class, household. They had decent schooling and a car, but not enough dough to jet off on international vacations. Oh, the woes of being not-so-filthy rich in Bollywood!
Hard Work Pays the Bills 💼
KJo didn’t just rest on his laurels. He worked his designer shoes off! Lucky for him, his directorial ventures ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ and ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ were massive hits. And after his father’s passing, he took over Dharma Productions, working 18-hour days and sleeping just 5 hours a night. Talk about dedication!
New Kid on the Block: Lakshya Lalwani! 🎬
Speaking of Dharma Productions, Karan’s latest release under his banner, ‘Kill,’ just hit the screens this Friday, amassing a decent 1.35 crore on its first day. The film features newcomer Lakshya Lalwani, making his Bollywood debut. Good luck, kid—you’re in for a rollercoaster!
Body Dysmorphia Struggles
And if you thought Karan’s life was all sunshine and roses, think again. The filmmaker recently opened up about his battle with body dysmorphia since the tender age of 8. It’s a tough world out there, even for someone as fabulous as KJo!
Nisha’s Nutshell:
Bollywood’s like a box of laddoos—you never know which one’s going to give you diabetes! Whether you’re selling your grandma’s flat or debuting in a new flick, it’s all part of the masala that makes Bollywood so irresistibly chaotic!
Stay tuned, darlings! The drama is just getting started! 🌟
