Karan Johar praises Netflix drama Adolescence
Taking to Instagram, karan shared the poster of Adolescence, which revolves around a 13-year-old schoolboy named Jamie Miller who is arrested for the murder of a female classmate.
Describing the show as a “wake-up call,” Karan expressed his thoughts on parenting in the caption.
He wrote: “To be a Parent … I have always known that raising a child is as much a blessing as it is an arduous responsibility… No book or podcast can prepare you or teach you to be the best version of yourself as a parent …what you need to first be is the best version of YOURSELF .. the very best…”
Karan highlighted how children reflect the soul of their parents: “What you say, how you say it, what you feel and how you express it … your habits, your behavior, your ideologies, your politics … EVERYTHING is eventually going to rub off on your child … they are embodiments of your soul… you may not realize the reflection but they will mirror you.”

I grew up on self-discovery they are surrounded by comparisons … the pandemic is NOW! We just don’t see it ….”
Karan further mentioned how the gut-wrenching show is more of a mirror reflecting parenting and social media dynamics than anything he has recently seen or experienced.
“The gaze of perceived masculinity …. The impact of bullying … the turning a blind eye to child habits and patterns … this 4 episode mini-series is a blasterclass for Parents. The Technical marvel of 4 groundbreaking long shots moved me as a filmmaker but broke me as a parent.”
Reflecting on raising his twins, Karan concluded: “I am raising twins … and I thank this show for building my awareness and my responsibility quotient even more…This is more than a series it’s a forever lesson…I am grateful to the creators of #adolescence and Netflix!”
