Koffee With Karan season 7 finale highlights
Karan Johar on combating mental health for over 3-4 years
When the influencers asked Karan Johar how he deals with all the mean things that are written about him online, he opened up about his mental health.
"I have become thick-skinned over the years, Honestly, it doesn't bother me the way people think it should bother me when I read stuff that awful. They come down to even abusing my kids. Those are times when I feel like f***, just leave them out of it.
He went on, " I'm like, you can say whatever you want about me, my sexuality or about all the conspiracy theories they have that are really down and dirty. It really doesn't bother me and it's not like I have not been in therapy and I haven't had issues in the past."
On anxiety issue
"There was an anxiety issue that I combatted 5 years ago and that was when I really opened up. You know, when I spoke to my doctor and she was a psychologist. She said that you are actually brushing everything so deep within that you actually think that you are dealing with it and that you have thick skin but actually, you are shoving it into a dark, deep area and that's all going to pop up at some time. So, she said you shouldn't. So, at least I started talking about this fact to people because I was not even telling people that I was in therapy and that I was going through an issue of anxiety for 3 or 4 years."
On medication and healing
"Post that phase when I weaned my medication off, that's when I realised I am feeling much better now because I was speaking to my close ones about the fact that it had got to me in some way because I think every issue, whether it is anxiety or depression, it's spiralling from somewhere, right? Like maybe, I am thinking it's because of a broken heart but it is also because of ABC's reason. So now I just talk about it much more and it sucks at times."
Hug therapy
After listening to Karan's confession, the four influencers hugged him. Karan gave an insight into hug therapy.
