Karan Johar’s fear : Social Media Pressure on Children

Karan Johar’s Childhood Pain! Learn why people fear their children will become fat and the pressure of social media on children.

Karan Johar’s Childhood Pain

Karan admits that being overweight as a child led to a very difficult time for him. He faced many taunts and bullying.

This fear has left a deep scar on his heart. Now, he is constantly worried about his children, Yash and Roohi. He fears that his children might also become overweight.

“Don’t eat sugar!” – A Father’s Concern

Karan himself admits, “I’m so scared of my childhood experiences that I’m constantly worried my children might get fat.

I keep telling them, ‘Don’t eat sugar. Grandpa ate a lot of sugar and suffered a lot.'”

He also gets upset when his children skip soccer practice because they remember the days when no one wanted to pick them on their team.

Social Media Pressure on Today’s Kids

In a recent conversation with Sania Mirza, Karan pointed out a major problem. He said that even school-age children have Instagram accounts today.

These children are concerned about their looks, their body type, and even their number of followers.

Karan says, “In our childhood, no one cared so much about anyone’s clothes or looks. Today’s times have become very toxic for children.”

A Childhood of Eating Cakes Secretly

Karan shared a heartbreaking story from his childhood. He explained that whenever he was emotionally distressed, food became his solace.

At one point, he developed a toxic relationship with food. Referring to the film “Dil Dhadakne Do,” he said that the scene where Shefali Shah secretly ate cake made him cry.

Karan himself had done something similar. He once tricked a woman at Breach Candy by telling her it was his birthday so he could order her delicious cake four times a year and eat it all alone.

Clearly, Karan Johar’s childhood pain remains with him. But his efforts to protect his children from the same circumstances he himself faced are commendable.
