Mumbai: Karan Johar said when it comes to
his films, romance is not limited to the characters he etches
for the celluloid but the director said actors have often
fallen for each other on the sets of his movies.
The 45-year-old filmmaker said he can easily recall
actors on his sets falling in love "more than five times".
"Yes, it happens all the time. It has happened more than
five times, I can assure you. People fall in love, it's the
industry of love," Karan said.
The director added the off-screen romance has never
interfered in the making a film but has only "enhanced it".
When quizzed if he has a policy that actors are not
allowed to date each other while working in the movie, Karan
said, "No not at all. I love it. I don't believe you can ever
(control) anyone's personal life. We are here to work, make
movies... What people do in their personal capacity is
entirely their thing.
"In fact, if they fall in love it's great. If it's legit
and lovely... it's fine. Even if it's not, it's their
problem."
The filmmaker was speaking at the launch of his radio
show, "Calling Karan" for Ishq FM.
