There has been a lot of debate and a lot of things said, but the filmmaker has handled it all with composure. Karan Johar has shared his journey during Pride Month.

Karan Johar, whose films have also addressed the subject of homosexuality, said during Pride Month 2023 that he has had thousands of emails and messages from gay boys and gay girls praising him for producing a movie like Dostana. He claimed that although some people believe he is mocking and stereotyping gays, this is not the case. Instead, for good reason, he used humour to address the gay issue.

Karan Johar quoted, "People say that I make fun of and stereotype homosexuals. But I say, no, I’ve brought homosexuality to dining table discussions. I’ve received over a thousand emails and letters from gay boys and girls thanking me for making Dostana because, they said, now at least people know what the concept is. I also made Bombay Talkies which dealt with gay married men who are actually hiding and repressing themselves, owing to social and parental pressures. I’ve not made fun of homosexuality; I’ve addressed it with humour, but all for a reason." (Also Read: Did You Know?
