Freedom of expression is a ‘Joke’, because making any revelation about my personal life could land me in jail, says Karan Johar

Filmmaker Karan Johar was in Jaipur to take part in the ongoing Jaipur Literature Festival. On being asked about what has been his biggest revelation, he laughed, saying that he hasn’t revealed it as of yet. He was, of course, hinting at his sexuality, given that there have been undying rumors about him being a homosexual.

“We are in a tough country to talk about your personal life, and I feel very sad about it,” the Bombay Velvet actor said after he said that revealing something could land you in jail in this country, and that Freedom of Expression is "the biggest joke" in the world, followed by democracy.

"Everywhere I go, I am scared, like I am scared I am saying something in Jaipur, and I don’t know who'll file a case when I get home. So I have become like some kind of an FIR king now," he said, touching the topic of the FIR that was lodged against him for hosting the infamous AIB Roast.

However, with the growing intolerance over anyone who says that India is intolerant, it looks like Johar will soon be joining the club of Bollywood celebrities who were reprimanded for speaking about what’s happening in the country.

While Aamir Khan faced backlash for saying that his wife has suggested moving out of the country, Shah Rukh Khan was also misquoted about saying that there is a growing "cultural and religious intolerance".
