Karan Johar
Karan Johar has often been disarmingly candid about his personal life. From opening up about anxiety and mental health to a turbulent love life, he has bared it all. In his recent post, the filmmaker shares his struggle with travel anxiety. On the risk of getting trolled, KJo opened up about what might be considered a champagne problem by some, hoping many others will be able to resonate with him.
Karan Johar on travel anxiety
He started the post by giving a disclaimer and continued: “So disclaimer: not that it matters, you are free to troll me… What I am about to write may be considered a champagne problem… but I do feel many will resonate… Raise your hands if you have travel anxiety! First, I have a desperate need to reach the airport early (sometimes even before the ground staff have arrived). Then, in the lounge, I check my passport and my boarding card 50 times.”
He continued, “And once I am seated… I wait for the pilot to announce the duration of the flight… as if my life depends on it… then I wait for him or her to tell us about the weather en route… if we are told it’s ‘a smooth ride,’ I can breathe… but some pilots say ‘few bumps on the way’… Then, right through the duration, I wait at the edge of the seat for those expected bumps… then I check the map every 10 minutes on a short-haul flight….”
Karan concluded, “On a long-haul flight, I pop a pill and pray for sleep (subconscious mind is always turbulence aware)… Then I feel the desperate urge to be hugely polite to the cabin crew (in case of an emergency, they will be kind to the kind), so I smile like a Colgate ad! And say thank you at every given point of time… Then, an hour before we land, I am all ready (not at all ready for any circling or air traffic)… then I rush out and want to overtake every passenger like it’s a limbo race… (no particular reason at all)… Ok, that’s all… (there are some packing idiosyncrasies, but that’s for another post).”
