Karan Johar
Karan Johar has often been disarmingly candid about his personal life. From opening up about anxiety and mental health to a turbulent love life, he has bared it all. In his recent post, the filmmaker shares his struggle with travel anxiety. On the risk of getting trolled, KJo opened up about what might be considered a champagne problem by some, hoping many others will be able to resonate with him.
He started the post by giving a disclaimer and continued: “So disclaimer: not that it matters, you are free to troll me… What I am about to write may be considered a champagne problem… but I do feel many will resonate… Raise your hands if you have travel anxiety! First, I have a desperate need to reach the airport early (sometimes even before the ground staff have arrived). Then, in the lounge, I check my passport and my boarding card 50 times.”
