Karan Johar has expressed frustration over the misinterpretations in director Vasan Bala’s comments regarding Jigra. Bala had previously mentioned that Karan had forwarded his unfinished script to Alia Bhatt for reading, which upset Bala. However, several social media users misinterpreted this statement, leading to criticism against Karan for promoting nepotism.
Karan Johar SLAMS netizens attacking him for promoting nepotism after Vasan Bala’s interview quotes get misinterpreted: “Made me laugh initially at the ludicrousness of it all but now is truly annoying me”
Karan Johar’s Response
Karan took to Instagram to address the issue, sharing a post that read, “We have to be strong to ensure our life is stable enough to shut some negative people’s mouth.” He expressed his disappointment with the “gore misinterpretation” of Bala’s comments, stating that Bala is one of his most talented and wonderful collaborators.
“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,” KJo wrote.
Voicing his opinion, he added, “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.”
What is Jigra Controversy?
In an interview with Tried and Refused Productions, Vasan Bala said, “I had written a very kachha pakka email, stream of consciousness thoughts… sent it to Karan and 6-7 hours later, he called saying that I have already sent it to Alia and I was really not happy with it.” As the clip went viral on social media and netizens started attacking Karan Johar, Vasan Bala broke his silence. In a tweet, he wrote, “Karan knew better and can’t thank him enough for the rest of my life for trusting his instincts. It’s the most magnanimous gesture anyone can do to help someone make a film…Trust!”
Jigra, the film that was the subject of the controversy, is set to release on October 11.
