Karan Johar says will have to move to London with friends if their WhatsApp group chats come out: ‘We may not be able to continue living in our city'
On his controversial chat show Koffee with Karan, host Karan Johar has often referred to his fiercely guarded WhatsApp groups with fellow Bollywood celebrities. One of them being 'GUTS,' where the filmmaker breaks down airport looks and red carpet appearances of his industry colleagues with friends Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, and Rhea Kapoor among others. During a recent event in London, when an audience member asked Johar to publish a book on those WhatsApp chats, Johar responded cheekily. '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,' he said. In the interview with Mojo Story, Johar explained further, 'Because let me tell you, they are very candid, honest, and sometimes very b*tchy 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.' In the same chat, Johar revealed he's part of not only these gossip groups on WhatsApp, but also some serious ones as the single parent of his kids Yash and Roohi. 'It can be very daunting, and also hilarious when you're on two WhatsApp groups with 30 mothers on one and 32 mothers on another. They're in two divisions: A and B,' Johar explained. 'Every morning, I wake up to these 62 amazing women saying 'Ladies!' And I say, 'Hello? I'm also on this WhatsApp group!' But they're so nurturing and helpful. They've really helped me through some tough times because I really don't know. Whenever I go to a parent-teacher meeting, I'm always doing two roles (as a father and a mother) and hearing for both of them. That's the joy of having twins,' he added. Johar became a father to Yash and Roohi in 2017 via surrogacy.

It was co-authored by Johar and journalist Poonam Saxena. On the work front, Johar will next direct his first series for Netflix India. His last directorial was the 2023 hit family comedy Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in lead roles.

Elon Musk was ‘inspiration' behind some of these Squid Game characters; Netflix show's creator confirms
"Squid Game" creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has confirmed that some of the Netflix show's characters, particularly its villains, 'kind of resemble' Tesla CEO Elon Musk . Hwang stated that this resemblance occurred to him during the writing process. In a recent interview with Time magazine, Hwang discussed the masked VIPs in his popular Netflix series . The show depicts financially struggling individuals competing for a large cash prize and their survival, while a group of billionaires, known as VIPs, who observe the games from comfort and place bets on the outcomes. What Squid Game creator said about Elon Musk and VIPs In an interview with Time magazine, Dong-hyuk said: 'Elon Musk is everywhere these days, right? Everybody talks about him. Not only is he the head of a huge tech company that controls the world almost, but he's also this showman. After writing [Season 3], of course, I thought, 'Oh, some of the VIPs do kind of resemble Elon Musk.' These VIPs were introduced on Squid Game Season 1, Episode 7, which was also titled 'V.I.P.S,' as a group of wealthy, English-speaking men who watch the final rounds of the Game in person. They are portrayed as careless and arrogant, placing bets on the lives of players for amusement. Pampered by the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) and the Game's staff, they treat the deadly contest like a spectator sport. The group is led by Oh Il-nam, a rich moneylender who secretly founded the Game. In a surprising twist, Oh Il-nam joins the competition himself as Player 001, concealing his identity while facing a terminal illness. Later, he confesses to Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) that he created the Game as a way to cope with boredom in his final days. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ballysakeery: We Need People to Try Latest High-Tech Hearing Aids - Free Learn More Undo In the third and final season, the VIPs become more directly involved by disguising themselves as guards and carrying out the task of shooting the 'eliminated' participants, rather than merely observing the games. 'They take their masks off and go into the game and kill others with their own hands,' Dong-hyuk said, describing that it has a more symbolic meaning than simply being a technical detail. 'In the past, those who really controlled the system and maintained power, they were hidden behind the curtain, almost like this big unseen conspiracy. However, it's no longer the case, especially in America,' he added. 'We talk a lot about oligarchy these days, but these so-called big tech owners, they step up, telling everyone who they're backing with their money. The people who really control the power and the system, they no longer hide behind a curtain. They willingly take their masks off, almost as if to declare, 'We're the ones running everything. We're the ones in control.'' Dong-hyuk continued. OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3: Why This Neckband Still ROCKS in a TWS World! AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

For the first time ever, Kareena Kapoor opens up about Saif Ali Khan stabbing incident: ‘Still not come to terms 100 per cent'; ways to heal from trauma gently
Kareena Kapoor Khan recently opened up about the attack on her husband, Saif Ali Khan, which took place in January this year. 'I am still struggling with what it does to, kind of, see someone there in your child's room, because in Mumbai, you never really hear. In Mumbai, we have never heard that somebody walks in and attacks your husband, and he gets stabbed. So, I think we have still not come to terms 100 per cent. At least, I haven't because of just the fear,' the Singham Again actor said. Admitting that she was 'very anxious for the first couple of months,' Kareena continued, 'It was difficult to, kind of, sleep, it was difficult to find normalcy. I realised that the memory fades…it's there in the gut. That's when the healing sets in. I don't want to live in fear for my children because that's also to put that stress on them. It's been a tough journey to maneuver from fear and anxiety to balancing the fact that I am a mother and I am a wife, because at the same time, my husband gets stabbed. It was an understanding of what I had to deal with.' She also expressed gratitude and shared that the incident has made the family stronger. 'I am just happy, blessed, and thank god that we are safe. We are definitely stronger as a unit because we have seen it. I hope that my two boys will be a different kind of resilient because they have kind of seen their father being attacked. My little one still says, 'My father is Batman, and Iron Man,' and he can take on anyone. That's the way he looks at it. The good thing is that in our eyes, he is Iron Man because he took that beating. Thank God that my children are safe. They have seen blood, they have seen everything. But that trauma will make Taimur and Jeh different kinds of men,' Kareena, 44, told Mojo Story. She added, 'They (children) have also been so sheltered. They suddenly saw this. I somehow feel that this is an experience that has brought them out of the shelter and a little closer to reality, showing them that this can happen. Of course, they should not have seen it at their age, but I have to look at something that has to come out of it, and I am hoping that this is what is going to come out of it.' She said that she is constantly trying 'to not put my stress and anxiety on to them, but as a person, it has shaken me to the core'. 'It's happened. I have to kind of move with it. Saif said, 'We can't live in that fear'. It's happened, it's gone. Also, Punjabiyon me bolte hai…ki bala tal gayi…(the bad is over)…so we are thinking that it's over. We are all trying our best. It was very unfortunate and I don't think any father, any husband, any unit or family should ever see what they had to…it's truly been an uphill task…I am hoping that there is a silver lining…I am hoping for that…' What trauma leaves behind, and what helps to heal gently? When something terrifying happens — be it a personal accident, a loved one in danger, or witnessing a traumatic event — what remains is not always visible. 'Long after the wounds are stitched, and the world has moved on, the body and mind can carry an unseen burden,' said Delnna Rrajesh, psychotherapist, energy healer, and life coach. Delnna shared that she often meets individuals who appear perfectly fine on the outside, but are silently unravelling within. 'They can't explain why their heart races without warning, why loud noises make them flinch, or why they can't sleep despite exhaustion. This is trauma. And it doesn't need your logic. It needs your listening,' she said. According to her, trauma doesn't always arrive with a label. It shows up as sleepless nights and recurring nightmares, sudden anxiety or panic in crowds or confined spaces, feeling emotionally numb or disconnected from loved ones, overreacting to minor stress or getting unusually irritable, avoiding places, conversations, or even memories linked to the incident. 'It also shows up as difficulty focusing, remembering, or making decisions with a constant sense of doom or restlessness. There could be stomach pain, fatigue, and body aches with no medical cause. And often, there's one unspoken feeling underneath it all: 'Why can't I just get over it?' Because healing doesn't come from pushing through, it comes from pausing, feeling safe again, and allowing the body to exhale what it never got to release,' shared Delnna. 'The nervous system remembers everything. To truly feel better, we must support both the mind and the body. Here are some powerful therapeutic and practical methods,' shared Delnna. Mild exposure therapy Start gently reintroducing elements that trigger fear, only in safe doses. If a car accident occurred, for example, sitting in a stationary car while focusing on breathing may be the first step. 'It's not about 'facing fears head-on.' It's about rewiring safety, one small step at a time,' shared Delnna. Somatic healing and breathwork You can't think your way out of anxiety. You feel your way back to safety. Breathwork calms the vagus nerve. 'Somatic practices like body scanning, gentle shaking, or trauma-informed movement help discharge stored fear trapped in muscles and fascia,' mentioned Delnna. Grounding rituals Use sensory tools like holding ice cubes, walking barefoot on grass, or the 5-4-3-2-1 technique (naming 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, etc.). These anchor the body in the now, pulling you out of trauma loops, shared Delnna. Reiki and energy healing Often, trauma creates subtle energetic imprint blocks that traditional therapy might not reach. Delnna noted that Reiki allows for energetic release and emotional restoration in a non-verbal, deeply calming way. Emotional regulation techniques Journaling and therapy can help reduce emotional intensity and bring back a sense of choice and control. Sleep hygiene and nutrition Trauma interrupts circadian rhythms and digestion. 'Prioritise routine, magnesium-rich foods, warm teas, and screen breaks. Deep rest is not a luxury-it's where trauma begins to soften,' shared Delnna.
