On his controversial chat show Koffee with Karan, host Karan Johar has often referred to his fiercely guarded WhatsApp groups with fellow Bollywood celebrities. One of them being \u2018GUTS,\u2019 where the filmmaker breaks down airport looks and red carpet appearances of his industry colleagues with friends Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, and Rhea Kapoor among others.<\/p>\n
During a recent event in London, when an audience member asked Johar to publish a book on those WhatsApp chats, Johar responded cheekily. \u201cIf anyone ever got access to those WhatsApp groups about me and many of my friends in the fraternity, I think we would have to move to London. We may not be able to continue living in our city,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the interview with Mojo Story, Johar explained further, \u201cBecause let me tell you, they are very candid, honest, and sometimes very b*tchy analysis of our immediate environment and what is going on. We are fashion critics, we are movie critics. We are critics of everything in that group. Everyone has an opinion, and none of us can ever put those opinions out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the same chat, Johar revealed he\u2019s part of not only these gossip groups on WhatsApp, but also some serious ones as the single parent of his kids<\/a> Yash and Roohi. \u201cIt can be very daunting, and also hilarious when you\u2019re on two WhatsApp groups with 30 mothers on one and 32 mothers on another. They\u2019re in two divisions: A and B,\u201d Johar explained.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery morning, I wake up to these 62 amazing women saying \u2018Ladies!\u2019 And I say, \u2018Hello? I\u2019m also on this WhatsApp group!\u2019 But they\u2019re so nurturing and helpful. They\u2019ve really helped me through some tough times because I really don\u2019t know. Whenever I go to a parent-teacher meeting, I\u2019m always doing two roles (as a father and a mother) and hearing for both of them. That\u2019s the joy of having twins,\u201d he added. Johar became a father to Yash and Roohi in 2017 via surrogacy<\/a>.<\/p>\n Also Read \u2014 Karan Johar recalls how troll saying \u2018you\u2019ve denied your kids a mother\u2019 made him cry: \u2018I asked my five-year-olds if they\u2019re happy\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n Johar is a published author as Penguin Random House released his memoir An Unsuitable Boy in 2016.
