Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar has spoken candidly about the lasting impact of childhood bullying due to his weight. In a recent conversation with Sania Mirza, Karan shared how his early experiences continue to influence his parenting style. He expressed concerns about his children, Yash and Roohi, gaining weight and struggling with social pressures. The father of twins, who welcomed them through surrogacy in 2017, revealed that his childhood trauma makes him paranoid about his kids' weight and appearance. He confessed to being overly protective, limiting their screen time and worrying about what others might say about them. Karan also spoke about the darker side of social media, where children are now anxious about their appearance and followers. He recalled being allowed to be happy despite being overweight as a child, but now fears for children who are 'physically different' today. His goal as a parent is to help his children develop self-acceptance and confidence. As Karan prepares for the release of his upcoming production, Tu Meri Main Tera, he is also navigating the challenges of modern parenting. His journey as a father is one of self-discovery, as he strives to balance his own childhood traumas with the need to raise confident and accepting children.
