Filmmaker Karan Johar is the one who is always clear in his views and never steps back to put his thoughts. His recent conflict with Kangana Ranaut over the issue of Nepotism made headlines in the town. 

Recently Karan was present at the book launch of sarod maestro Ustad Amjad Ali Khan where he said, "I have stopped worrying about the ramification or what others say. You have to basically become deaf because today opinions are available everywhere. You wake up to opinions, sleep and you’re reading opinions. 

He added, "People have a lot of time in the world to give you their opinion, it’s what you choose to take in or not to. I have decided, you can call it a good mid-life crisis, I am 44 and I don’t listen to people anymore." 

When asked Karan about his film choice, he said, "When I began my career, I didn’t take many risks because the first two films I directed and my father produced, the whole idea there was to seek commerce in art. My intention was to make sure Dharma productions could stand tall and gain the economic strength which we hadn’t before. It is only in the last decade and ironically after I lost my father, I grew wings. His constant emotional surveillance may not have allowed me to take few chances in cinema."
