Karan Johar's Secret Childhood Voice Coaching Revealed
20 Nov
Summary
- Johar underwent voice coaching to achieve a more baritone voice.
- He hid the extensive training from his father for three years.
- The coaching aimed to alter his perceived effeminate voice and mannerisms.
Filmmaker Karan Johar recently shared a deeply personal story about his teenage years, detailing how he secretly underwent extensive voice coaching to achieve a more masculine baritone. Advised by a coach that his voice was "effeminate" and his mannerisms needed adjustment, Johar pursued the training for three years without his father, Yash Johar's, knowledge.
During this period, from age 15 to 18, Johar attended classes thrice weekly, using money he obtained from his father under the pretense of computer classes. The late director's son felt immense shame and fear about his father's potential reaction, as the era lacked awareness and support for such personal development.
The truth eventually surfaced when his father, impressed by his supposed computer skills, gifted him a computer. Unable to feign knowledge, Johar confessed his secret, marking a significant moment of vulnerability and self-discovery in his formative years.
