Karan Johar finds himself in the middle of controversy everytime he promotes a film; it was no different with Vasan Bala’s Jigra. A few days back, in an interview, Vasan Bala claimed how Karan had sent an unfinished Jigra script to Alia Bhatt which left him angry. This comment was misinterpreted by netizens and like always Karan was trolled for promoting nepotism. The filmmaker has now taken to his social media and urged everyone to stop spreading hatred over Jigra casting.
On his Instagram, Karan shared a post that read, “We have to be strong to ensure out life is stable enough to shut some negative people’s mouth.” Along with the post, 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’s 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…”
“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…” he added.
Karan concluded the post by saying, “I fold my hands and tell everyone please hear and read entire interviews before making clickbait assumptions. ❤️! Loads of Love to all of you ….”
What did Vasan Bala say
Earlier in the interview, Vasan Bala had said, “I had sent one very kaccha pakka (roughly drafted) email, very stream of consciousness thought, sent it to Karan. I think six or seven hours later, he called saying, ‘I’ve already set it to Alia’. I was really not happy with it.” Vasan further expressed, “I was like, ‘I would have at least done some spellcheck, grammar check, hygiene, written some very nice hero entry. So that email was sent, I was like, ‘Why did you do this?’. Karan said, ‘No, no, this is how it works’.”
