In a departure from his usual indifference to trolls, Karan Johar felt compelled to address a comment for the sake of his mother and children. Taking to his Instagram stories, Johar shared a remark from a troll suggesting,
”Bahu laa do maa ko time pass nahi hota hoga” (Bring a daughter-in-law home, your mother must be bored).
In response, Karan Johar penned a detailed reply, expressing his discomfort with the criticism he often receives about his life choices.
He found such comments offensive, particularly when it comes to labeling a daughter-in-law as ‘timepass’ for someone’s mother, deeming it disrespectful.

Johar emphasized that the term ‘Bahu’ carries regressive baggage and that an individual labeled as such has the right to lead her personal and professional life as she sees fit. He pointed out that his mother, who co-parents his children, Yash and Ruhi, does not require the suggested ‘timepass’ in her life.
Asserting the completeness of his mother’s life through the love they share, Karan Johar made it clear that introducing a “bahu” is not on the table concerning his relationship status. He highlighted the blessing his kids receive from having his mother guide them.
Addressing the topic of finding a life partner, Johar concluded by stating that, if he were to have a partner, it would be to fill his own void, not someone else’s. He thanked his audience for listening, referencing a moment in the first episode of Koffee With Karan season 8 where he expressed his desire to experience love and have a life partner someday.
