[tps_footer]Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan have been the best of friends till date and Shah Rukh was touched by Karan Johar‘s honest open letter about the wicked online world where he casually laughs at himself and is comfortable with it. He is someone who does not take jokes too seriously and is light hearted and open about it. We have seen many celebs reach their boiling point on social media and react in certain unexpected manners but Karan is definitely different. Now, not everyone can do it. Kudos, KJO!

Here is a snippet from the column :
“I was one of the first early Twitter users from the film fraternity. And back then in 2009, I thought I was going to enter a world where people liked me, knew me, knew my work – it was going to be fine! All about the love, not the hate. And it was. At first.”
“But then started the phase where I began to wake up to “gay ma*****od, good morning”. Every morning. Or just “hi ga*”. I am routinely called “chakka”. Every so often, I’m told I’m a transse*ual/transvestite/sister-sha**ing homose*ual, which is actually, if you think about it, a contradiction in terms.”
“And I’ve tried to figure out what’s behind the nonstop trolling. I’ve discussed it with friends, family, even my therapist. Why is it that every time I put up a pouting picture on Instagram, I’m just called chakka, gay, I’m told “chup kar ch***ye? That’s my favourite, by the way. My absolute favourite. Anything I ever say, these three golden words are thrown at me.”

“What you don’t realise is that with a certain level of fame and celebrity come deep levels of insecurity and anxiety which none of you accounts for. Everyone thinks I land in a chopper on top of my building and I have the most cushy existence. Could you understand that I might have the most messed up life myself? That I am probably in bed lonely most nights, sometimes even crying myself to sleep. I acknowledge that I am materially privileged, but I am not emotionally privileged. There are reasons for me to be lonely and sad on most days and I am probably as sad as you, the troller.”
“The difference is I energize myself and my surroundings with a certain amount of positivity and optimism, and all you do is hate. I maybe as sad as you, as lonely as you, as messed up as you, but here’s what I also know: I’m just a lot nicer than you.”
Well, SRK definitely thinks that this is incredible as he tweeted, “@karanjohar u ‘G** Ma******’.Ur sensitivity,drive & ur talent makes me say u truly ‘Got Machismo’ more than most.But BlueSteel is pushin it!”
Even we think that KJO is a true sport because he never lets such things get to him and he’s got some major sportsmanship going in there! Of course, he makes candy floss movies but nonetheless, we love him.[/tps_footer]
