Karan Johar gets a letter filled with a proposal and a love poem on smooches

Karan Johar might write reams and reams on romance and love (including showing an intense romance between Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in My Name Is Khan) but in real life, when it comes to proposals, he gets all tongue-tied.

This one's a squirmer
A source close to Karan says, "Though KJo has been getting marriage proposals for a long time now, this is the first time someone has sent such a cute love poem with the proposal and a love note. The letter has eight pages.

When Karan got the letter, he squirmed with embarrassment. He gets all red-faced and shy when women of all ages keep expressing love for him in all sorts of ways. Of course, Karan feels flattered that people love him and express their love in various ways but when people ask him about it he clams up."

He tried to hide it
The source adds that when a fan, Leena Joshi, sent him the eight-page love letter Karan tried to hide it from everyone. In office, the letter is called "The Kissing Letteru00a0-- it has all kinds of kisses mentioned in it. Then she asks him to do a photo-session with him, invites him for coffee and a candlelight dinner with him. At the end, she requests him to be her life partner as she loves him so much and ends with a romantic shayari."

When quizzed about it Karan Johar says irritatedly, "It is too embarrassing to talk about. Please don't ask me such things!"
