Karan Johar says SRK was the first man to make him feel comfortable with his sexuality:

Kuch Kuch Hota Hein

Karan - "He didn't make me feel lesser with this..."

A wellknown star Filmmaker Karan Johar & his fevorite superstar the 'KING' Shah Rukh Khan have been friends for decades now. Karan expressed SRK as 'Bhai' and has worked with him on several projects so far. In a recent conversation with him, Karan opened up about his sexuality and how SRK helped him come to terms with it.

Karan Johar said on the show "Be A Man Yaar",

"I was born & raised in a very progressive environment. I came from the theatre. I had worked with several kinds of people. My parents, perhaps, were not able to understand things sometimes. My this feminine side that was coming out so strongly was only met with laughter or with being made fun of it.

And then when I grew a little older, people got really quieter about it. But I could tell whether there was a slight chitter chatter about the way I was walking or speaking and moving around with them.

I remember SRK - Shah Rukh Khan was the first, kind of like, man that did not made me feel lesser for some reason. I alwasy feel like he accepted what in those days were considered being pansy, being very effeminate or walking funny.

He was the one who was just so cool about anything. He even had a lot of open chats with me. Whenever I had to say the biggest thing about my personality and sexuality - I always spoke to him first. He was that 1 who give me sense of support. Even he does not realise what he's been to me.!!!"

"It is what he never said.. It's what he didnot bring up. It's what he always normalised, that I sat funny or walked funny. Whenever I said campy things, he always laughed. He would hang out with me no problem what, laugh with me. It is not what he said, it's what he did not say. It's all that matters to me..! " Karan added with happiness.
