Many a times, celebrity guests and Karan Johar made fun of Kangana’s language skills on previous seasons of Koffee with Karan. The filmmaker apologized to Kangana for the same on his latest episode. It all looked like a perfect ending! However, looks like it was all for the show and he didn’t really mean to be apologetic for being the ‘flag-bearer of nepotism’. Kangana accused him of nepotism and said he would play a movie mafia if there was a film or a book made/written on her life.
Karan Johar swiftly apologized to her for his ‘subconscious’ behavior of being a part of the gossip gang which laughed at Kangana’s every move. Soon after the show, the filmmaker made some not so popular comments. In an interview with talk show host Anupama Chopra at the London School of Economics, India forum, Karan Johar said, “I am done with Kangana playing the woman card and the victim card. I am done.”
Let’s decipher what the filmmaker said! What is a ‘woman card’ and a ‘victim card’? Did he mean that she was taking an advantage of being a woman and ‘victim’ of nepotism? Hell yes, she should then. The way he has spit venom against her after garnering the required TRPs for his show, proves that she was right. Karan Johar has been playing the ‘victim’ card for years now. No, we have no say on his sexual preferences or the route that he chose to have kids. Karan Johar never stood up for the long fight that many ‘homosexuals’ have been a part of in this country. In an interview with India Today, he simply played the ‘victim card’ which we believe is probably his choice and the right thing to do. Then why blame Kangana for paying the victim card? Hypocrisy much? Continued…
