In a recent interview, filmmaker Karan Johar spoke about the "terrifying" experience of feeling "one-sided love" for another person and said that he would never wish it on anyone. He also revealed that his film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil was born out of this inner turmoil and that the movie helped him move past a particularly difficult period in his life.
On Sit with Hitlist on mid-day, KJo said "I feel it strongly with the generation of today, who really take their love seriously," Karan said. "We call it the Tinder generation, the swipe right-swipe left generation, but people are really falling in love. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil had a polarising last act, but that concept of crazy love really resonated especially with Gen Z kids.”
He further added, “I'm far from Gen Z, I found this crazy love in my late 30s and early 40s, and it just went on for years. But it gave me a film, it gave me closure, and it has now given me a lot of perspective of never going back in that zone again."
When asked if the person in question was "indifferent" towards his feelings, or if they were being "hot and cold," Karan said a vehement no.
"The person was completely sensitive to me, and went through every beat with me with utmost sensitivity," he said. "So, I can't even hate, I can't be indifferent. And today, that person is very much a part of my family, he's a part of my ecosystem... Fortunately, this person is not from the industry, and that actually helped, because it gets very messy when it's from the industry."
For the unversed, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil featured Ranbir Kapoor, whose character is a one-sided lover.
