quite vocal about addressing the issue of
nepotism in the media. Despite of facing
issues in the past, it seems Karan can't really
stop to talk about it. The nepotism debate
was started with Kangana Ranaut's
comment.
When the Queen actress made her
appearance on KJo's chat show, Koffee With
Karan, she called him the flag bearer of
nepotism.' And this one comment of hers
created a big controversy!
Yet Again, Karan Johar Talks About
Nepotism At The Ittefaq Press Conference
After this incident, the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
director doesn't leave any opportunity to
address this debate without being asked by
the media. So during the recent press
conference of his upcoming movie, Ittefaq,
yet again, Karan took a dig at nepotism. As
the whole team of Ittefaq (Shah Rukh Khan,
Sonakshi Sinha, Sidharth Malhotra, Akshaye
Khanna, Abhay Chopra and Juno Chopra)
stood together on the stage, Karan joked
and pointed out to the media that this
group was a fine example of a successful
co-existence of star kids and outsiders.
Speaking about it, he said, "At the two ends
of this line, we have two non-nepotistic
people (pointing on SRK and Sidharth) and
in the centre are the brand ambassadors of
nepotism. Sidharth Malhotra and Shah Rukh
Khan do not represent nepotism, which
also speaks volumes about how both can
work equally, efficiently and correctly. And
soon after this, everyone laughed on his
statement.
