I understand how it feels to fear to go outside and mingle: Karan Johar

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Filmmaker Karan Johar, who along with Y-Films introduced a specially-abled teens band 6 Pack Band 2.0, says as a child there were times when he used to feel different from others.  “At times, as a child, I used to think that I am different. To accept that, was a task. Though I shouldn’t say that my condition was like these children, I surely understand their emotions.

“I understand how it feels to fear to go outside and mingle….I think it is our responsibility to create an atmosphere to make sure that all these children feel free to come out and live,” Karan told the media here on Thursday.

While Karan urged all the parents to support their children, he said: “I think I was very fortunate to have parents who were very affectionate and supportive towards me which gave me the confidence to overcome my fears.

“My parents were very progressive to understand me, and never made me feel like I am a kid who tends to behave differently in a certain situation. As elders that is what we should do…every child is different and parents should support them all through, to achieve their dream.” The band will come up with six songs along with their music videos. All the songs are written by lyricist Kummar.
