Karan Johar says he has been in ‘one and a half relationship’ in his life: ‘Can’t change my single status now’

Filmmaker Karan Johar recently opened up about his relationship status and said that he is not looking for a partner anymore. Karan said that while he will not stop a relationship if it finds, he is not seeking it anymore. In a chat with Faye D’souza, Karan said that he has been in “one and a half relationships” in his life and while he was actively seeking companionship when he turned 40, he stopped looking for it after he turned 50.

Karan said, “I am single and haven’t been in a relationship for a very long time. In fact, I have been in one and a half relationships in my entire life. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy my single status. I don’t think I can change it now. Forget sharing a bathroom or bedroom or your space or schedule, I think the power of your day is with you. Your responsibility is to your children and your mom, that’s about it.”

He also added, “I did feel the vacuum when I turned 40, but when I turned 50, I felt like I didn’t want it. I am not blocking it, but now I don’t see it happening actively. I have gone through agencies, blind date situations, and met people in the country, and out of the country, now if I find it well and good, I don’t feel the need for it at all.”

In an earlier chat with Midday, Karan had shared, “I haven’t been in very many relationships. When I came into my own, it was in my mid-30s when I realised that I could do what I wanted to do in the zone of love, it was difficult. It was not easy to find the right partner, and be in a relationship that was equal. I have had a bout of one-sided love, which I made Ae Dil Hai Mushkil from. It was my sad ektarfa pyaar, which lasted many years, but taught me the power of love itself. “
