Karan Johar Opens Up About Why Friendships Don't Last For Long In Bollywood & It Will Make You Sad!

Recently, Karan Johar while speaking at the Times Literature Festival, opened up about why we get to see very few friendships existing in Bollywood.

The film-maker said that he feels people from the movie industry are lost with the kind of expectations they carry. He added that since there is so much else actors have to deal with, that they usually end up having temporary friendships instead of long standing ones.

He was quoted saying, "Movie people just don't have friends. They have so much else to deal with. I find that about film actors particularly, that they don't have friends. They don't have a lot of friendships and the ones they have, they are actually seasonal. They go from film to film. I've been a friend who has been a seasonal friend, I've also made some seasonal friends. I do know what that feels like."

He further added, "Everyone's lost in the film industry. Every day you are combating expectations, success is always expected of you, there is so much baggage that you carry. There is daily reportage of what you wear, say, or don't say."

KJo said that many industry people are just not equipped to carry a relationship.

He was quoted saying, "I think many of us are unequipped to handle our relationships because of who we are. Sometimes it is because of our intense megalomania, sometimes because we are delusional..."

The film-maker hopes one change within the industry should be "the ability to nurture our friendships. We just do not know how to make friends," he said.

He concluded, "It is not impossible. Every relationship is difficult. It takes working on (it) and I feel a lot of people from within the industry don't do that, because it's all about themselves. "You cannot make life about yourself. It has to be about the people who surround you, or else you're going to be irrelevant very soon."
