This is a new format I’m trying out. Please watch and give me feedback. This is a conversation about vulnerability and life lessons.

This is something I wonder why people don't ask Karan Johar. About his failure and learning. He is a sharp business person and filmmaker. Kudos Faye.

[@Emeralda95]

Unpopular opinion, but I love Karan and love watching him. He is charismatic, has great stage presence, eloquent, smart and has good eye for television🌟🌙The reason why he gets hate is because he knows how to capture attention.He seems like real TV-persona, i.e eye-catching colorful unique personality✨❤️✨

[@Maddy-kb2co]

This conversation is so insightful I think Miss D’souza you should do this more ,this is an amazing conversation no gossip only real life issues that we all go through

[@sk12345100]

Bravo Karan. I salute your courage and vulnerability. Faye and Karan, this conversation will benefit and uplift so many people by addressing "unspeakable taboos."

[@polarisss148]

Hahhahaha...right..hahaha...

[@ck-vi1ug]

As a practising therapist I can only say take a bow Faye !! Such a real and relevant conversation ! Karan has owned and addressed his vulnerability with such honesty and that makes him truly courageous.

[@GopalVakil]

The best conversation with Karan Johar I ever heard. The way he has opened up about his childhood, his insecurities, depression, inferiority complexity, his consultation with psychologist, treatment, feminism, public speaking, jealousy, ambition, his fame and anxieties , his vulnerabilities at large even after such a successful career ; hats off to you and Karan. It has changed my perception about him. I could never imagine that he has also faced so many problems, anxieties and humiliation like a common human human being. Thanks a lot for bringing out a human heart of this gentleman🌿🌷

[@Gloz_Space]

This open talk concept is quite good and motivating !!! I so wish,this wud had reached the audience during my times which was much much required. Back then those times getting accepted and wanting to live life on your terms and expressing it was so difficult. If you do so you wud be judge or wud be called a brat. I have been listening to Karan Johar on many platform and yes he carry his persona so well while representing himself. Yes,in some context i may feel he has been privileged but yet not all can have same lives. Faye, great job. It will be great if you can bring on more folks who can be sometimes people out of the film industry too.

[@zaidquereshi9721]

This is beautiful ❤.. had so much fun and joy watching this

[@abc_cba]

As a 90s kid, I want to thank Karan for giving us classics back then which we will cherish forever. Over the years, i have also grown to hating homosexuality to accepting every human-being as equal. That's what Karan has earned, though I hate it sometimes that his films never given any major roles to the poorer section of the society but that was early 2000s so, I hope in the years to come, every citizen of every strata gets his due in his films which can reach every audience. In all, thanks for your service to art. (Dunno, if he'd ever read this)

[@radhikakapoor8204]

Really classics?? He promoted hindutva more than anything any one else through his cringe content

@@radhikakapoor8204 can you explain how? Especially the Hindutva part?

[@deepa1610]

​​@@radhikakapoor8204 what, because of his love for om jai jagdish hare? Its just his culture. Saying other religions are inferior is bigotry (hindutva or otherwise), not simply practicing the religion you're brought up with. Seen My Name Is Khan? Its the opposite of hindutva

And what about his murders talented actors

[@MohdAsif-Alpha]

I hope today parents help their children overcome their insecurities, be yourself in such escape and convenient excuse in my opinion. Children shouldn't be told what they can or can't do, they need to figure it out. Unless harm is involved, the uncertainty of what will happen later will always remain irrespective of who you're. I wish all of us breakthrough holding ourselves back to be a better version of ourself.

This is for the first time I have seen Karan openly talk about his gender expression (femininity) and queer identity. More power to him. ❤

This is something fresh, if karan johar wants to reinvent himself and connect to this generation, this is the way to go. The last coffee season was so cringe to watch. I didn't get why people made fun of him for being gay in award shows. He has made a way for himself and

[@akshaybharadwaj2383]

Well done Faye ! This was an awesome conversation ... Really love this side of Karan talking about more deeper things

[@seemapoddar3586]

I had never liked him but today i have all my respect for this man who has his own plus and minus, a vulnerable man, but he acknowledges truth and doesn't shy away from wrongs that he has done. he is infact setting groundwork for new age Indian youth, who should not feel stifled in bad relationship or hide their sexuality. Faye this is good work, we want to see such content more often

Kudos to you Faye , loved the show. Thank you for bringing out this side of Karan, it was like seeing Karan in a different light which is imperfectly perfect ❤

[@kritikabhardwaj3814]

I saw a very different side of Karan Johar. It's a shame of the image mainstream media has given him. He's a gem.

[@user-pw3ot1vv4d]

This side of Karan is very human and humane. To be honest I have not been a big fan of him even I enjoy his work. Nobody can negate the struggle he has and is going through but what made him unpopular was failing to acknowledge or rather flaunting the privilege and wealth and all advantages it brought(at least from what media portrayed). Imagine everyone who went through or are struggling but come from disadvantaged circumstances and not many means to support or help

[@shri314]

Thank you, Faye and Karan for such an open discussion on this topic. Can relate so much to your issues (I silently combat social anxiety). Gained my respect!

Good one Faye D’Souza for this podcast about failures ,because if we see today the whole world talks only about sucess and how to be successfull ,but seeing karan opening up his failures in life is a big lesson for me ,because we know how hard its to handle failures....( I Am a total failure in my life ) so happy to see this podcast

A different side of karan...all these days he seemed invincible,lucky man,God's favorite...but now he seems human.At 62 I wud like to tell him that there's no perfect way to bring up ur child,inspite of ur best efforts they will carry a baggage & c that it doesn't happen to their child...so just do what u think is best..u have given us such beautiful movies...the latest was a treat to watch...don't fret.

[@ashwaq-thecognizant4910]

[@kiranyadav7952]

Beautiful interview, Faye! In a sea of podcasts where mostly its men asking questions, you have no idea (or maybe you do and that's why we have this!) how refreshing your questions were. It finally felt great to see Karan (who i really admire a lot) as the person, the human he is minus the bling (monochromatic is probably working), the superficial questions. I thought i was being asked some of these questions because they were so open ended.. Like the one you asked about success and wealth. Please please never lose your authenticity. ❤

[@MsShikha21]

This is gold..!!

[@shoxmadraximov476]

You know the thing with Karan Johar is that he always talks about the same things, generally same stories, and mostly goes on and on, and one answer becomes a 10 minute story. And at some point you stop being interested in his stories, because you’ve heard them so many times. I think he should start on giving straight answer and maybe remember rather he talked about similar thing in his other interview.

[@laxmidenisdsouza9691]

He is brutally honest about everything and that's amazing. He is indeed hardworking guy but one can't also deny the fact that he is the flag bearer of nepotism.

[@vanshikatewary8290]

I appreciate this interview and witnessing a candid and humane side of Karan. He's wise and Faye is a favourite. However, despite experiencing bullying himself, he participated in and promoted gossip/politics on Koffee with Karan for over a decade in the name of entertainment and scandal, which diminishes my empathy towards him.

[@shivaharshmurugan7676]

wow, love karan speaking so openly... resonates with what I went through .. if only I could have an imaginary friend to tell me "it's okay"

Hi faye Always in awe of ur honesty not just in journalism but in everything that u do !!! And yess this podcast was such a breather !! Karan said it just right - it felt like therapy ! The fact that u decided to go make up free and that there were no props & pretty things around, brought the limelight & focus on just u and Karan ... The black cloth on table and the black screen behind , really did wonders ! Really glad to see Karan on a show like this with absolutely no 'bling' around !!! Plz keep doing more such podcasts ! It was extremely heartening to hear Karan acknowledge the fact that Bollywood is undergoing a creative crisis !!! Eagerly waiting to see many more fresh faces of actors and actresses from non-filmy backgrounds under his banner !! Kudos to Karan for opening up and just articulating his journey with such grace & grit !!! U guys made my day !

Super KJ! Well spoken!

[@fresh.ep.]

Karan's childhood-teens' journey and struggles of being considered "effeminate, fat, soft voice" and being asked "talk like a boy, act like a boy, walk like a boy" is what I truly relate to him. Never been a fan of him, today I became one. Thank you Karan for sharing, you are the voice for boys/men like me.

[@ayaankhanchowdhry8186]

Watching this conversation feels like going to a therapy session. It made me feel comfortable, healed me as well as taught me a few important lessons that needed to be addressed. It feels so relatable as an artist and filmmaker listening to Karan Sir as I constantly maneuver between playing an introvert and an extrovert personality in this line of work and it does take a toll on my mental health sporadically. Thank you for hosting this session, Ms.Faye. Kindly let me know if I can reach out to you to have a detailed discussion on this topic with you through email or social media if possible. Good luck with this journey and I look forward to the next one. :)
