Karan Johar talks about Bollywood's WhatsApp group chats: ‘If those leak, I'd have to move to London because they're…'
Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar recently got candid about Bollywood's WhatsApp chat groups and jokingly said that if those chats leak, he'll have to leave the city or rather country and settle in London.
In a recent interview, when KJo was asked whether he'd ever consider turning the conversations from these private chats into a book or a movie, the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani director gave a candid reply.
'If anyone ever got access to those WhatsApp groups about me and many of my friends in the fraternity, I think we would have to move to London. We may not be able to continue living in our city,' Karan answered to an audience member's question while having a conversation with Barkha Dutt for the Mojo Story.

'Because let me tell you, they are very candid, honest, and sometimes very b**chy analysis of our immediate environment and what is going on. We are fashion critics, we are movie critics. We are critics of everything in that group. Everyone has an opinion, and none of us can ever put those opinions out there,' he said.
On the professional front, Karan Johar is hosting Prime Video's reality show The Traitors, which boasts the line-up of Raj Kundra, Lakshmi Manchu, Sahil Salathia, Maheep Kapoor, Mukesh Chhabra, Raftaar, Elnaaz Norouzi, Jannat Zubair, Uorfi Javed, and others.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
The teaser of his upcoming production venture Sarzameen was recently dropped, which is based on the volatile backrop of Kashmir. Directed by Boman Irani's son Kayoze Irani, the movie features Prithviraj Sukumaran, Kajol and Ibrahim Ali Khan. It will premiere on Jio Hotstar on 25th July.
