I am still cursed and trolled – Karan Johar
In a conversation with NDTV, the Karan Johar said: “It started on this show (Koffee With Karan) and that’s never the industry, it’s never left social media, by and large, I’m still cursed, trolled, and abused for it. Now I’m not bothered. It went from annoyance to amusement now I’m amused every time. I’m like, ‘It’s so last season now, like come up with another problem. I mean don’t go on and on about nepotism you don’t know what the hell it is.’ So what should I do if I have a child I should not give them the privilege of what I’m doing? I’m a parent, it’ll happen come naturally it happens in every business, but we are just that one word just became like a curse in my filmography or my life and I’m living with it and I say I get nepo spasms now and every time the word like I feel like I get neck pain.”
