Karan Johar’s quote reads, “People say I’m mocking and stereotyping homosexuals. But I say, no, I brought homosexuality into the dinner table discussions. I received over a thousand emails and letters from gay guys and girls thanking me for creating Dostana because, they said, at least now people know what the concept is. I also did Bombay Talkies, which dealt with gay married men who are actually hiding and repressing themselves, due to social and parental pressure. I have not entertained homosexuality; I approached it with humor, but all for a reason.” Podcasts, memoirs, and audiobooks by Karan Johar, Tan France, Lily Singh, and other queer icons are available exclusively on Audible.
