“It was initially awkward because his character dies. The character obviously went through a fictional arc as well, but it was cathartic for me to tell that story, because I felt that really helped me get over that love situation.”

Karan Johar shares being his worst self while enduring a case of unrequited love

Spilling more beans about that particular episode in his life, where he had to bear the pangs of a one-sided, unrequited love, Karan mentioned that it had made him see the worst version of himself. He revealed facing anxiety, torment and pain all at the same time. In his words:

“Anyone who has been through one-sided love, ektarfa pyaar, that heartbreak… I saw the worst version of myself, not as a human being, but I was pitiful in that zone. When you stare at your phone waiting for it to ring, when you want that message and that message changes your day, when your heart really hurts – it’s a physical pain, it’s not just symbolic, it’s painful – and you wake up with that anxiety, and when you see that person with somebody else and it breaks you into a million pieces… You realise that love can make you and break you and tear you apart.”
