Karan Johar is known for creating magic on screen with his films. The filmmaker has admitted that he is inclined towards commercial cinema, and that in the end, it’s about entertaining the audience with one’s work.

Recently, at India Today's Conclave, Karan spoke about his movies and revealed how they have a tinge of reality weaved to them. “People say Hindi films are theatrical and dramatic, but somewhere its roots are in real life. I have been at a shaadi ka mandap, when the love of my life was getting married to somebody else... When it happens to you, you feel like you can't get over what's happening to you,” said the filmmaker.

He further added, “A happy marriage in the industry would really jolt me. I'd be like, 'You're a dinosaur, get out of here'." The filmmaker was asked to pick between money and true love, to which he answered, “True love goes away, lust takes over at times, so I would be rich and single."
He further spoke about how he deals with heartbreaks. "Make your work your ambition. Not your love life,” said KJo before signing off.
