Karan Johar has always known how to make headlines, whether it’s for his fashion, films, or fiery talk show comebacks. But this time, the filmmaker is trending for a rather unexpected reason. A viral Reddit post claims that the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani director secretly flew to South Korea multiple times to get one very specific thing done: insurance for his face.
According to the post, Johar was allegedly inspired by a close friend from the South Indian film industry who had done the same. “Rumour has it Karan Johar secretly flew to South Korea multiple times to get… his face insured. Yup, inspired by a close friend, and apparently it’s a trend there,” the post read.
It added cheekily, “Insiders say he’s been way more chill since—smiling more, less snappy, even gave a rare compliment at work. No word from him yet, but now we’re all wondering: does this cover acne, sunburns, wrinkles? And how much is that premium?!”
Karan breaks his silence—sort of
While the director hasn’t confirmed or denied the claim, he did respond with a cryptic Instagram Story. “Read the rumours, the whispers. The oh-so-secret scoops! Well, keep up the drama and stay tuned,” he wrote, adding fuel to the speculative fire.
Karan wouldn’t be the first Bollywood celebrity to get a unique part of their body insured. Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic baritone voice is protected, while John Abraham once reportedly insured his much-talked-about backside. So face insurance? Sounds like classic KJo drama, served with a side of flair.
