Karan Johar On Being Called As “Movie Mafia”: “Abhi Toh Kapde Utar Di Hai Sabne”

Recently, Karan Johar spoke up about a time when he was the subject of numerous online articles. He said that it had an impact on his mother, Hiroo Johar, and that he had to be the more resilient one. Additionally, he claimed that he was being portrayed as a cinematic “mafia,” a term frequently cited by Kangana Ranaut.

Karan Johar on Prejudice

In a conversation, Karan said to Sucharita Tyagi, “I felt there was a lot of hate that was coming my way in the last three years, and it had really taken a toll on my mum.” She used to watch TV channels, so I watched as she figuratively crumbled beneath it. She was browsing the internet. She had a similar personality in the zones. She was demonizing me for some reason while she watched TV anchors yelling, screaming, and saying the most abhorrent things. Next, there were those who essentially said the same thing on Twitter and other social media sites.

 

 

On being referred to as a “movie mafia,” Karan Johar

“At that moment, all I needed to be was resilient because I needed to stand up for both myself and my own mother. After that, you feel rather exposed. “Abhi toh kapde utar di hai sabne” , Kya Chupana? Kisske Ladana? Everyone has already kind of rushed into your life and made conclusions about you. They are unaware of who I am. They simply created this impression of the movie Mafia or another topic they frequently bring up. They are unaware of the methods used by producers to find their cast on a regular basis, Karan continued, declining to give names.

Kangana has occasionally charged Karan Johar with encouraging nepotism in the film industry. She made the infamous claim that he was the “flagbearer of nepotism” during her appearance on Koffee With Karan, which is where it all began. Additionally, she has been calling him “movie mafia” in her interviews and social media posts.

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, which he recently released, served as Karan’s directorial comeback. Starring in it are Jaya Bachchan, Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi, Alia Bhatt, and Ranveer Singh.
