Filmmaker Karan Johar, who has been the brains behind the biggest blockbusters of Indian cinema, opened up on body dysmorphia and how he was mocked for being effeminate. The Dharma honcho also recalled taking up classes to bring a baritone in his voice and crying for not being like other boys. 

In an interview with Faye D’Souza, Karan spoke about his struggles with body image and how it affected his personal life. “I have body dysmorphia. I am very awkward getting into a pool. I don’t know how to do it without feeling pathetic. I try hard to overcome it. I always wear oversized clothes. Even in moments of intimacy, I put the lights out,” said the filmmaker.
