Recently, Jigra director Vasan Bala claimed that Karan Johar sent an unfinished script of his film to Alia Bhatt without his consent, expressing that he was ‘not happy’ about it. This led to a backlash against Johar, sparking discussions on nepotism and favoritism in Bollywood. Now, finally, Johar has broken his silence on Jigra ’s casting controversy.
A post shared by Karan Johar (@karanjohar) Taking to his Instagram handle, Johar penned a long caption, urging people to avoid ‘clickbait assumptions.’ He said, “Twitter became X and became my X a while ago..
. I broke up with the nauseous noise and muted the unwarranted angst..
. but social media is like the Lockness monster; it gets to you even when you can’t see it..
. so was flooded with Vasan Bala’s interview, which he answered with pure innocence and so much love.” Johar added, “The gore misinterpretation of his comment about me sending the script to Alia without his grammar checks made me laugh initially at the ludicrousness of it all but now is truly annoying me.
.. Vasan continues to be one of my most talented and wonderful collaborators and if you see his interview and hear his tone you will totally get it! BUT NO.
.. much ado about nothing is all over the place.
..” In conclusion, he wrote, “I fold my hands and tell everyone please hear and read entire interviews before making click bait assumptions.
Loads of love to all of you.” A post shared by Alia Bhatt 💛 (@aliaabhatt) For those who don’t.
