Filmmaker Karan Johar says actress Kangana Ranaut's remarks about him promoting nepotism in the film industry doesn't hold true for him, adding that she made "sweeping statements" to make an impact.
Kangana, known for her brazen honesty, took a dig at Karan when she appeared in one of the episodes of his chat show "Koffee With Karan". She called him the "flag-bearer of nepotism" in Bollywood.
Karan expressed his views when a social media user, during a live chat session on Twitter, asked: "Was Kangana correct about nepotism?"
He posted: "Not entirely! She made an impact with her sweeping statements! That was fun... for her! And the show."
Asked whether he is obsessed with star kids, Karan said: "Ask Kangana."
The year 2016 was a difficult one for Karan as his film "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" got into trouble due to the presence of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan.
Now, Karan hopes that he gets to spend a year without offending anyone.
Asked about his biggest achievement, the filmmaker said it is surviving Twitter.
Another thing he discussed during the chat session was his relationship status.
Karan, who wrote about his sexual orientation in his book, said he is "single, available and borderline desperate".

He has been known to favor star kids yes, but Siddharth Malhotra, Sana Saeed, Fawad Khan and Anushka Sharma and even Shahrukh (technically) who have all starred in his films are outsiders. I think he favors star power and glamour more than anything.

He is king of Nepotism. Always favor star kids over outsiders. Can't wait until this whole group get the hell out of Bollywood.

He IS a flag bearer of Nepotism, absolutely no doubts there. So obsessed with star kids and SRK of course! Till now he hasn't done anything to prove otherwise. He never casts anybody from outside of the industry. Or only the stars who are already on top.
