Filmmaker Karan Johar criticised a comedy show for deeming him in “Exceptionally poor taste.” Karan took to Instagram and expressed his disappointment with the show and the broadcasting channel.
Karan shared an Instagram story about the incident. He wrote, “I was sitting and watching television with my mom. I saw a promo for a reality comedy show on a supposedly respectable channel. A comic was mimicking me in exceptionally poor taste.”
He stated that he expects such trolls from anonymous individuals. However, he feels upset when people from the industry disrespect him. He has earned his place over the past 25 years. Karan wrote, “I expect this from trolls and faceless and nameless people. But when people in your industry disrespect someone with over 25 years of experience, it says a lot about the times we live in. This doesn’t even anger me—it just makes me sad!”
Indian film and TV producer Ekta Kapoor reacted to Karan’s story and wrote, “Happened so many times! Ugly humour sometimes on shows. N even award functions. Then they expect you to attend! Karan, please ask them to imitate one movie or a classic of yours.” Karan reposted the story, lovingly thanked Ekta, and wrote, “Love You, Ektuu”
This incident sheds light on the growing trend of mimicking influencers and celebrities and making content out of it. Recently, Karan Johar shared an Instagram story. In it, he wrote that not everyone will like you. He also stressed the importance of self-acceptance.
Karan is gearing up for his upcoming movie Mr and Mrs Maahi. The film stars Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao in key roles. The filmmakers will release the film on May 31, 2024. The film is a sports drama that promises fun and entertainment to its audience. The filmmaker has also collaborated with ‘Devara’ and acquired the film’s distribution rights.
