I'm afraid to go out for dinner with another man: Karan Johar

February 11, 2017

Mumbai, Feb 11: Filmmaker Karan Johar has said he is tired of the speculations around his personal life to an extent that he is now "afraid" to go out even with a "man" friend.

afraidThe 44-year-old director, who recently made a lot revelations about his personal as well as professional life in his autobiography "An Unsuitable Boy," said he gets linked up with every man he is spotted with and it makes things tough for him.

"I'm afraid to go out for dinner with another man because the paparazzi reaches everywhere and if you go out for dinner with a man, you're sleeping with him.

Because two men can't be out for dinner just as friends," Karan said in a recent interview to CNN-News18. The filmmaker opened up about his fall-out with best friend Kajol in his book and gave out further details saying that actress' husband Ajay Devgn said "nasty" things to him even before the "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" and "Shivaay" box office clash.

"Ajay Devgn called me and shouted at me and said some really nasty things because he heard at a party that I'd said some things about his wife. She was one of my closest relationships, as close as family could get, but it got unpleasant.

"Ajay said I'd bribed a trade analyst to write bad things about his film and praise mine, then he put out a statement saying there should be an investigation and she retweeted it saying 'SHOCKING'. And that was it... I don't want to say anything more, but yes one thing I'd like to say & I stand by it is that this is not a phase, a feeling that will change. No matter what, she's out of my life."

Karan, who himself faced the wrath of some sections for casting Pakistani actor Fawad Khan in his last directorial venture, also condemned the recent attack on filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the sets of "Padmavati" in Jaipur.

"I couldn't stop myself when I saw what happened to Sanjay Leela Bhansali because he's a fellow filmmaker, he and I are not best friends but I have great regard for him as a filmmaker and he's a very prominent filmmaker.

"How dare someone come on that set and assault that man? It's ridiculous. And I saw myself in that frame. I thought it could happen to me tomorrow. I could be making a film and be in this situation and it would be appalling if that happened. I know what my loved ones would feel and I know what I would go through. It's appalling."

Washington, Mar 11: Pop star Selena Gomez made some revelations about her personal life in a recent interview.

While explaining the lyrics of her song "Rare" on the 'Genius' YouTube channel, the 27-year-old said that there are times when she feels that she will ever be able to find a suitable partner for herself, reported Fox News.

"Some days when I wake up and I am annoyed and I am like, 'I am going to be alone forever.' But after that 15 minutes go away, I say to myself, 'I know that there is someone for everybody," the singer told in the seven-and-a-half minute long video.

However, she remains optimistic as she is still young and "this isn't the end all be all".

Elaborating upon the chorus of her song, Gomez opened up and said, "self-esteem and confidence is a constant struggle".

"It's getting better with time and age, but it will always be something that I'm working on," she added while explaining the lyrics further.

"So what I think is so important about this chorus is that it's acknowledging, 'Hey, I don't have it all. I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I do know that I'm special,' and I think that is a humble approach of saying, 'Why don't you see that I am different?'" the singer added as reported by Fox News.

Touching upon her experiences from past relationships, she commented: "In certain relationships, I've heard and I've experienced and whatnot, I think men and women do it -- especially teenagers and young people in love -- is there's this satisfaction out of hurting someone because you know that they care. Purposefully putting someone down because they want to keep them at a level. I've had someone actually say that to me before".

Los Angeles, Mar 24: In a bizarre video shot from her rose petal filled bathtub, pop star Madonna has called the coronavirus pandemic "a great equaliser".

The music icon said the virus doesn't discriminate between rich and poor.

That's the thing about COVID-1. It doesn't care about how rich you are, how famous you are, how funny you are, how smart you are, where you live, how old you are, what amazing stories you can tell.

It's the great equaliser and what's terrible about it is what's great about it. What's terrible about it is that it's made us all equal in many ways, and what's wonderful about is, is that it's made us all equal in many ways, Madonna said in the video while having a milky bath in tub full of roses.

The 61-year-old singer, who had to cancel two of her concerts in Paris due to coronavirus outbreak, also referenced her 1995 song Human Nature in the video saying we are all going down together .

According to the Johns Hopkins coronavirus tracker, the death toll from the virus globally has risen to 14,641 with 336,000 cases reported in 173 countries and territories.
