Exclusive! Karan Johar on the bra shopping scene in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, “I have gone bra shopping for my mother”

MUMBAI: Karan Johar has broken many stereotypes with Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. One such stereotype is about men buying female lingerie. (Spoiler Alert) There’s a scene in the film where Rocky, along with Rani’s mother goes for lingerie shopping and he feels awkward about it. Here, Anjali (Rani’s mother) schools him about the whole scenario.

Today, at the success press meet of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Karan spoke about the scene and breaking the taboo in real-life. He said, “I was the only child raised by a very progressive mother. It was never a taboo topic for her to buy a bra, and it’s never been a problem with me; I have gone bra shopping for her. But, while I did it, my friends who were with me, were horrified that I was actually doing this and why I wasn’t designating this job to a female friend of mine to do it. I was like, why? It’s been asked by my mother, why would I send somebody else?"

“My mother is now 81 years old, and if she needs something and I am at a place where it’s there, I have to go buy what she wants. It could be a bra or any other item. For me, that scene was organic and I knew that there’s a discomfort around it,” he added.
