You feel someone has put a very heavy thing on your chest. You keep checking your phone - if he is online, why didn't he call, where could he be. Your mind is always distracted. It is torture, one-sided love."Johar, known for directing films like 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham!, 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani', among others, revealed how he turned these 'worst' feelings into something which helped him grow in life and become a better person.advertisement"When I looked at one-sided love as a power of a feeling that I had, it has empowered me, then I started letting go. That love wasn't mine anyway. But dard hota hai [It still hurts]. It's the worst feeling in the world. I have much empathy for those who are going through one-sided love," he said.
