If the industry is bad, leave it, says Karan Johar

Karan Johar recently took a jibe at Kangana Ranaut, for the later calling out Karan on being the ‘flag bearer of nepotism’ in Bollywood, on Koffee With Karan.

Talking about the actress’ accusation, Karan said, “I am done with Kangana playing the victim card at every given point of time with a sad story to tell about being terrorised by the bad people in the industry; if it’s so bad, leave it.”

He went on to say that he has not promoted any of his family members in the industry. “I don’t think she’s understood the entirety of that statement. Because what is Nepotism? Am I working with my nephews, nieces, daughters, and sons? And what about those 15 filmmakers who are not from the film industry who I have launched and put into movies? That no one will talk about,” he said.

Karan also added that if he wished, he could have edited her sensational comments out from the episode. “I was gracious enough to keep everything. I could have edited out so much. It is my show. I said no, this is her opinion, let the world see it. I gave her the platform. I appreciate that she had a great, great perspective and point of view and everyone lauded her that she came on my show and ‘gave it out to Karan’ like people put it,” he said.
