Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar often gains headlines when he launches new talent in the industry. The filmmaker, who has introduced actors including Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, and others, has no plans of launching his own kids as he doesn’t want his children, Yash and Roohi, to be actors.
Karan Johar doesn’t want his kids to be actors
While speaking to Komal Nahta on his YouTube channel Game Changers, he revealed that he wishes his kids would become hair and makeup artists and not actors. While talking about the actors’ heavy entourages, Karan shared, “Don’t even get me started on the charges the makeup and hair artists take today. In fact, I would want Roohi and Yash to become makeup and hair artists because they are earning more money than other people. Ek hair kare aur dusra makeup (one should do the hair and the other should do makeup), it will be very beneficial for both of them.”
“I am like humara budget yeh hai because we are business people, if you want more people, you give them then. If you are doing a sports biopic or biographical drama where your body is on display all the time on screen, then the producer will pay for it. But if you are a regular hero, your job is to look good. If you want to eat healthy food, you eat, but why would I pay for it? Some actors we are giving budgets that this is the budget if you want to go forward then do it. There are many actors who are paying additions on their own. I think if you are getting a big fee and backend, then do these on your own, show some grace. 6-8 log kyun karte hain travel aapke saath (why do you need 6-8 people to travel with you),” he shared while talking about the ongoing debate on growing entourages.
Karan Johar on the work front
