Karan Johar outraged after being mocked on Twitter about his sexuality

KJo has never openly claimed that he is gay, but his single life has left many speculating whether he is homosexual

Following the recent legalissation of gay marriage in the US, a Twitter user took a jab at Karan Johar, hinting at his sexuality. An outraged KJo, expressed his utmost contempt at the tweet.

#Rumors : @KaranJohar to get married soon in USA.

The long-rumoured-to-be-gay director has never publicly spoken on his sexuality, but his interview with Harper's Bazaar India earlier this year left many speculating whether the director is, in fact gay.

"If I was interested in dating women, she would probably be the woman I would want to date. Of course, she has her limitations and so do I," said KJo talking about his long-time collaborator and best friend, actress Kareena Kapoor.

Many took the statement as a confirmation of his homosexuality, and he has since been the butt of gay jokes.

However, his reply to Pratik's tweet was not well-received by a few who accused the 43-year-old of hypocrisy.
