As filmmaker Karan Johar will be a part of a music reality show as a judge, the multitalented Bollywood personality said he cannot sing, but has a good ear for music.
"I have zero knowledge in singing. But I must mention that I have been listening to Hindi film music for last 40 years. So I have a good ear for music," Karan said during the launch of the show "Dil Hai Hindustani".
"I have grown up listening to music. Even though I won't be able to find out technical flaws in any of the participants, I will be looking for the X factor," he said.
Karan added: "I will be discussing with my other judges before taking any final decision on participants as people like Badshah, Shekhar (Ravjiani) and Shalmali (Kholgade) are music professional and highly educated in music."
The show will air on Star Plus where singers from across the globe will participate.
