Now that’s what we call being honest. The quirkiest producer and director in Bollywood (some say he is macho too) Karan Johar aka K-Jo doesn’t beat about the bush. He says what he feels like saying and that’s what makes him a tad more difficult to hear, if you know what I mean.

These days his interview with an Indian newspaper is being discussed by all and sundry in India. In the tête-à-tête K-Jo said that actor Shahrukh Khan and producer/director Aditya Chopra are two of his weaknesses, and will remain so, especially the former. He reasoned that whenever he is going through an ‘emotional upheaval’ he phones up SRK and he sorts his head out.

Are you sure it’s your head, K-Jo?
