Karan Johar cryptically reacts to rumours of insuring his face after secret South Korea trips: 'The oh-so-secret scoops!'
Karan Johar
has always known how to make headlines, whether it's for his fashion, films, or fiery talk show comebacks. But this time, the filmmaker is trending for a rather unexpected reason.
A viral Reddit post claims that the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani director secretly flew to South Korea multiple times to get one very specific thing done: insurance for his face.
According to the post, Johar was allegedly inspired by a close friend from the South Indian film industry who had done the same. 'Rumour has it Karan Johar secretly flew to South Korea multiple times to get… his face insured. Yup, inspired by a close friend, and apparently it's a trend there,' the post read.
It added cheekily, 'Insiders say he's been way more chill since—smiling more, less snappy, even gave a rare compliment at work. No word from him yet, but now we're all wondering: does this cover acne, sunburns, wrinkles? And how much is that premium?!'
Karan breaks his silence—sort of
While the director hasn't confirmed or denied the claim, he did respond with a cryptic Instagram Story. 'Read the rumours, the whispers.
The oh-so-secret scoops! Well, keep up the drama and stay tuned,' he wrote, adding fuel to the speculative fire.
Karan wouldn't be the first Bollywood celebrity to get a unique part of their body insured. Amitabh Bachchan's iconic baritone voice is protected, while John Abraham once reportedly insured his much-talked-about backside. So face insurance? Sounds like classic KJo drama, served with a side of flair.
What else is KJo up to?
While the rumour mill churns, Karan Johar is staying busy on the professional front.
He's set to host the Hindi adaptation of the international reality show The Traitors on Amazon Prime Video. The series premieres June 12, with new episodes dropping every Thursday.
Karan Johar's Fashion Love Began with Zeenat Aman!
Meanwhile, Dharma Productions has a stacked slate. Among the big releases: Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari starring Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan, Dhadak 2 with Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi, Chand Mera Dil featuring Ananya Panday and Lakshya, Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri with Kartik Aaryan and Nagzilla, a VFX-heavy spectacle.
Johar also made waves at the Cannes Film Festival 2025, where Dharma's Homebound—directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and starring Janhvi Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter, and Vishal Jethwa—had its premiere. The film follows two childhood friends from a small North Indian village chasing police jobs, only to find their bond tested by ambition and desperation.

Jamie Lever recalls being traumatised as a 10-year-old by inappropriate men: ‘Creep masturbated, conductor touched'
Actor-comedian Jamie Lever says she was traumatised due to inappropriate men when she was as young as 10. In an interview with Hauterrfly, Jamie spoke about the instances from childhood that left her wary of men till she was well into adulthood. (Also Read: 'You did a Sara better than her': Internet approves Jamie Lever's mimicry of Sara Ali Khan from Love Aaj Kal 2. Watch) Jamie recalled in the interview how one day her driver picked her up from school and was waiting outside for her brother (Jessey) to come out. 'He asked me to wait in the car. My friend and I were chatting in the back seat. One creepy guy came, stood at the window behind her, flashed me and started masturbating. It was the first time I'd seen a male part and I was so shocked. I didn't understand what was happening. I was so young, maybe 10-12. I started trembling because I thought he'd open the door and do something,' she said. Jamie remembers locking the door and pretending not to see him, which eventually made him walk away. She also stated that her school bus conductor would touch her inappropriately. 'Our school bus conductor was so inappropriate with us, he would touch us. Some days, I feel like it's all a bad dream…I have suppressed these memories. He's supposed to protect children, but he had a sick mind. I became so closed off, I didn't let men into my life. I only dated once I moved abroad in my 20s,' she said. The actor also stated she never told these instances to her father, Johnny Lever, or mother, Sujatha, because she couldn't comprehend what was happening. Jamie, who has appeared in films like Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, Housefull 4, and Bhoot Police, ventured into Telugu cinema in 2024. She starred in Aa Okkati Adakku with Allari Naresh and Faria Abdullah and in the JioHotstar web series Pop Kaun.
