Filmmaker Karan Johar is currently basking in the international success of his film Homebound, starring Vishal Jethwa and Ishaan Khatter in lead roles. The film was screened at the 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival and has also received a nine-minute standing ovation. He had recently made the headlines for his drastic physical transformation. After commenting on it, he is now yet again a topic of discussion for yet another speculation. A netizen has claimed that he recently got his face insured.
Yes, you read that right! Let us start by saying that the filmmaker is yet to comment on the viral Reddit claim, and there has been no official confirmation on the same. On Friday night, a netizen took to the subreddit Bolly Blinds N Gossip to share this piece of information. In their post they wrote, “Rumor 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. 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?!”
Well as soon as the post went viral, netizens rushed to the comment section to share their take on it and wonder if it really was worth it. One wrote, “Like not to even shame him but is it really that worthy to insure it ? Better he could have insured his art of sabotaging career of others.” Explaining what face insurance means, another wrote, “It’s like a normal insurance policy you’ve to pay to the company if you want to insure any body part of yours and if it damages you’re paid.” One commented, “Celebrities, athletes, etc get their best physical assets insured as it’s their money-maker. What does kjo getting his face insured even mean? Not shading his looks, just trying to understand what this post means.”
