Karan Johar's An Unsuitable Boy - co - authored by Poonam Saxena and published by Penguin Books India - is probably the most anticipated celebrity autobiography this year.
The book, launched by none other than his best buddy Shah Rukh Khan, encapsulates everything right from his illustrious movie - making voyage in the industry to emotional revelations about his fall out with close friends in the industry.
In An Unsuitable Boy, Karan traces his childhood and growing up years, initiation into the film industry, experiences with moviemaking and helming Dharma Productions, equations with friends like Shah Rukh Khan, Aditya Chopra and Kajol, and of course, the subject of his sexuality. He also talks about the success of Koffee With Karan, the controversial AIB Roast before recapping how the film industry has changed over the years.
That's a lot of detail, packed into a (relatively) slim volume.
As news reported by FirstPost, on Jan 16, 2017,
An Unsuitable Boy is not a book about Bollywood - although it is peopled by the Hindi film industry's denizens. Yes, Bollywood provides the background against which these stories and personal interactions unfold; but Unsuitable Boy is really a coming - of - age story. Of a lonely - but - loved boy who grappled with personal inadequacies and ultimately triumphed over them once he found his creative direction.
Honest, heart - warming and insightful, is the story of an exceptional film maker.
