Karan Johar is called the ‘flag bearer of nepotism in the Bollywood industry. And so people blame him for ruining many careers by giving opportunities to the kids of Biggies in Bollywood. And now an old interview of Karan Johar where he openly shared how he wanted to murder Anushka Sharma’s career is going viral on the internet.
Karan Johar’s Interview
In 2016 at the time of 18th MAMI Film Festival, gathered for a chat with Ae Dil Hai Mushkil cast Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma with Rajeev Masand and Anupama Chopra. In the interview, he shared, “I totally wanted to, completely murder Anushka Sharma’s career. Because when Aditya Chopra showed me her image, I was like, ‘no, no, mad or what, you signing her, you crazy! There is no need for you to sign this Anushka Sharma’. There was another lead actress at that time who I wanted Adi to sign, and I was totally behind the scene sabotaging her completely. The movie also I was reluctantly watching Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.”
He continued and shared, “But when I saw Band Baaja Baaraat, I called her, and I felt like I owed her an apology and a compliment. Apology because I felt so embarrassed that I would have actually ruined the graph of exceptional talent and secondly, a compliment because I thought she was amazing.”
Anushka Sharma debuted in Rab Ne Bana De Jodi alongside Shah Rukh Khan, which became a hit. And since then, she has been giving hits after the crash and impressed the audience with her performance.
Fans Reaction
However, the viewers didn’t seem to be okay with Karan Johar’s statement, and they shared their opinion in the comments. A user said, “Just completely loving how he is openly accepting how capable he is to murder/ sabotage anyone’s career and able to replace the cast and change their career graphs as he wants!!” “She has to sit there pretending to be okay with it all. He is such a snake. Also, she keeps pretending to be all real, but she only reserves her rude behaviour for some people, like the garbage dude,” said the other.
