Karan Johar wants to give acting a second chance, ready to play father’s role

Karan Johar made his acting debut with Anurag Kashyap’s Bombay Velvet. The film failed to make a mark at the box office and Karan didn’t get thumbs up from the critics for his performance in the movie. However, now, the filmmaker wants to give acting a second chance.

Recently, Karan posted a picture on Instagram in which he is sporting grey hair. He captioned the picture as “I know my acting stint was scarier than the current virus but there is no harm in hoping for a second chance! So to all enterprising casting directors ,to all risk taking filmmakers , to critics with a high threshold of pain and to easy to please audiences I have an announcement to make!!!! I AM AVAILABLE FOR FATHER ROLES! ( at 48 with a poor track record I promise i can’t afford to be choosy).”


Well, there were some hilarious comments on Karan’s post. Anil Kapoor commented, “Mere pet pe kyon laat mar rahe ho sir .. ???”

And Ekta Kapoor offered Karan the role of Mr Bajaj in Kasauti Zindagi Kay. She wrote, “I have a daily soap! Rishab bajaj has white hair n is hot !!!! N. We always do face swaps ! Pls come on tv!!!!! We r v easy to please here!!!”

Well, Karan has done many cameos but Bombay Velvet and Welcome To New York are the two films in which he had full-fledged roles. It will be interesting to see if he will get a second chance as an actor or not.

From Anupama Parameswaran to Samantha Ruth Prabhu: Why the sexist ‘climber’ label follows women who date successful men

Highlights

  • Successful actresses are often accused of choosing relationships for money or status
  • The ‘gold digger’ and ‘climber’ labels can erase women’s own careers and financial independence
  • Anupama Parameswaran, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Sushmita Sen and Malaika Arora have all faced versions of the same narrative
  • Their responses show how female stars are increasingly refusing to accept the assumption that a relationship must have a financial motive

When a successful woman is linked to a wealthier or more powerful man, the question is often not whether she is happy, in love or making an independent choice. Instead, the conversation quickly turns to what she might gain from the relationship.

That is where the word ‘climber’ becomes revealing. It suggests that a woman is using a relationship to move upwards socially, financially or professionally, reducing a personal choice to a calculated transaction. In Indian celebrity culture, the label often appears alongside accusations of being a ‘gold digger’, particularly when a relationship ends.
