Johar is the mastermind behind the hit, often salacious chat show, ‘Koffee With Karan’, in which famous stars sit on a couch and air their dirty laundry or indulge in Bollywood gossip. Johar is an industry insider and stars feel incredibly comfortable with him, which Johar has often exploited with much delight. What’s often said on the show has stirred controversies and petty fights among colleagues in Bollywood.
In an interview with Mumbai Mirror in September 2020, Johar was quoted as saying: “So much has been said about Kangana, me and some kind of rivalry or simmering tension. But at every public event, we’ve met, we’ve greeted each other graciously. Whatever may have been said or insinuated in print, I think I’m too old and wise to hold any kind of malice in my heart for anybody. As a filmmaker, I respect Kangana’s talent, craft, and what she brings to the table. She is an actor who has proved her mettle and is deserving of the honour [Padma Shri].”
Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, who famously described movie mogul Karan Johar as the 'flag-bearer of nepotism' and the 'king of movie mafia', took another dig at him on Twitter on March 30.
