Karan Johar shares how Ae Dil Hai Mushkil carried a tenet of his real-life love story
At the recent press conference post the success of his last released film, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Karan Johar opened up on a special anecdote from one of his other films, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The filmmaker revealed that the plot of the story actually came from his real-life, one-sided love story, which he had with a person from within his family. Karan further mentioned finding it difficult to watch the film, as according to its plot, the character concerned, played by Anushka Sharma dies, while the real person still lives on. Revealing how the film made him get over a complicated love situation in his life, Karan mentioned:
“It was initially awkward because his character dies. The character obviously went through a fictional arc as well, but it was cathartic for me to tell that story, because I felt that really helped me get over that love situation.”
