In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, love is always shown big and loud on the golden screen, and one person who has defined this in Bollywood is Karan Johar. Whether it's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham or Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Karan Johar has given love in all its complexities. But what happens beyond the reel, in real life, is a lot more than the Bollywood tale portrays. Speaking of Karan's life itself, the man who has convinced millions to believe in love is still single. While Karan has accomplished everything in his professional life, whether its money fame or success, he never married, but there was a time when he fell in love and even proposed to this superstar's wife.
Before Karan Johar became a well-known figure, he led a simple life. He was studying in a boarding school, and that's where he met the person who stole his heart. She was none other than Twinkle Khanna, the sassy and charming daughter of superstar Rajesh Khanna. She eventually became a renowned author and the wife of actor Akshay Kumar. But at that time, she was simply Twinkle, the classmate who made Karan falls heads over heels for.
Unlike any other childhood crush, Karan was quite infatuated with Twinkle, so much so that when Twinkle shifted school, he trailed behind her. He changed schools to stay close to her. With a friendship that had everything – fun, leg-pulling, and emotions, what Karan felt for Twinkle was quite deeper than that. He even once plotted to cut school simply to see her, though he couldn't follow through. Years later, Karan openly confessed at a public function that Twinkle was the only girl he'd ever loved. Twinkle herself disclosed at the launch of her book, Mrs Funnybones, that Karan had popped the question to her in school in the most hilarious manner. 'I like you,' he told her, 'I like your moustache—it's hot.'
Born on 25 May 1972 in Mumbai, Karan Johar was born into the world of films since the late director Yash Johar, his father, was the head of Dharma Productions. But even though he was very much indulged in the film world and knew countless stars, his heart made room for only Twinkle. Never again did he fall in love with another woman after her, and he settled down alone.
In 2017, Karan achieved his dreams of parenthood and had twins through surrogacy—son Yash and daughter Roohi. Even if he didn't discover romantic companionship, Karan discovered love in its purest form through his kids. His experience serves as an emotional reminder that love does not always arrive in the shape of a life partner—it can also remain alive through remembrances, friends, and family.
