Karan Johar's director buddy Zoya Akhtar spoke about KJo's tantrums on Neha Dhupia's podcast, No Filter Neha. She recalled that his parents (Yash and Hiroo) had once promised a trip abroad for his birthday. At the last minute, it was cancelled as his dad had some important work to attend.

KJo got hysterical and said he wanted to stay in a hotel. So his mum checked him into a five-star and asked Zoya to hang out with him. She had to spend the entire day at the poolside as KJo wanted to spend his birthday in a hotel. All this when he was barely 11. Hope he has learnt to take no for an answer since.
