Karan Johar in his latest Insta story has called out podcasters who seem to thrive on spreading negativity about Bollywood. Of late, we have seen a number of interviews where veterans or people once associated with the industry have been called and asked questions to generate controversies. Karan Johar said that people are talking about legends who have worked hard to establish their names in the profession. Well, netizens have agreed with him saying that some podcasters seem to thrive on gossip kind of news. Karan Johar also said that people are insensitive enough to ask astrologers about stars and their life span.
Spine-chilling astrological revelations on stars
Quite a few netizens agreed with him on Reddit. They said that some podcasters are doing this on a regular basis. In fact, people are also passing judgements on stars in form of blind items. We know that astrological predictions are carried by most publications in the media. However, there are some videos where life span on top superstars like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are discussed. The astrologers make scary revelations, which fetches the channel views. He said clickbait journalism too has reached new levels of insensitivity.
Was Aryan Khan's name also taken by some astrologer?
It seems some astrologer did some forecasting on Aryan Khan and it was not in good taste. The star kid is coming out with his debut show, The Ba***ds Of Bollywood on Netflix. It stars Lakshya, Bobby Deol, Mona Singh, Gautami Kapoor, Anya Singh, Saher Bamba and others. Karan Johar is also doing a cameo in The Ba***ds Of Bollywood. His part had people rolling on the floor in laughter. Aryan Khan has presented him in a very different manner.
Karan Johar is working on a romantic drama that he will direct in 2026. He said he is keen to get back behind the camera. Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani won the National Award for Best Choreography for Dhindora. Karan is known as one of India's legacy filmmakers and his story-telling appeals to true Hindi movie buffs.
