As Karan Johar faces a troll from a comedian on a TV show, the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani director seems to be upset. On Sunday night, Karan Johar posted a statement on his Instagram stories and talked about a comedian mimicking him “in poor taste.”
“I was sitting and watching television with my mom…and saw a promo of a reality comedy show on a supposedly respectable channel… a comic was mimicking me in exceptionally poor taste…I expect this from trolls and faceless and nameless people but when your own industry can disrespect someone who has been in the business for over 25 years it speaks volumes about the times we live in…this doesn’t even anger me it just makes me sad!” Karan Johar wrote on his Instagram story.
What happened?
Karan Johar explained that the incident took place while he was watching television with his mother. Without name-checking the show or the comedian.
After the conundrum, Ekta Kapoor, Film producer and a dear friend of Karan Johar, posted on her Instagram Stories and extended her support. “Happened so many times! Ugly humour sometimes on shows. And even at award functions. And then they expect you to attend! Karan please ask them to imitate one movie or classic of yours,” Ekta wrote.
The post was then reposted by Karan himself, who replied, “Love you Ektu.” However, the person trolling Karan Johar was identified. Some indicated that it might be Kettan Singh, a comedian on Sony TV’s who hosts the comedy show Madness Machayenge.
