Karan Johar seems to have found himself embroiled in yet another debate about nepotism post Sushant Singh Rajput's demise. The filmmaker has been subjected to immense trolling online and it has in fact, lead to him being away from social media, as many might have noticed. Over the last couple of days, he has also taken the step to unfollow a couple of people on Twitter and now, he barely follows a lot of people on Twitter. However, as it turns out, there seems to be more to it.

In a rather unexpected turn of events, he has decided to exit the MAMI board due to the effect the online lynching has had on him. If reports are to be believed, he has already tendered his resignation from the board of the esteemed film festival and in fact, he is not giving the decision a second thought as the resignation letter has been mailed to director Smriti Kiran. In addition, the reports also suggest that this decision of his stems from the fact that he did not receive any support from anyone in Bollywood amid the ongoing nepotism debate and hence, he is upset about it.

In addition, the reports also stated that the chairperson for the MAMI film festival, Deepika Padukone did try to convince him to rethink his decision. However, they all went futile as Karan seems to have made up his mind about this. We tried reaching out to the Karan johar's team regarding the same, and the story will be updated once we receive a response.

Khud kabhi stand kiya hain nalle lodu ne kisi k liye😆.

I mean he didn't stood up for Hrithik, didnt stood for SRK during intolerance row, heck he didn't even stand for Alia when she was attacked by Kangu publicly. What a self pitying cry baby sissy he is.

Why does he need BW support? Kaunse uske ghar mein koi stone pelt kar raha hai?

SUPPORT???? KAUNSA SUPPORT?? What bullshit is this?! Karan should be the LAST to speak about "support". Other than nepo-kids, who are facing similar online abuse, who has he supported and why should they support him??? KUCH BHI!!!

Their all turning on each other 😆😆

Kitna bechargi bhara narrative hai through out the article lol chomu saala😆

🤣

This made me so glad that apart from few of his nepotistic products, no one supported him. 👍🏼

Sonakshi supported you, Zaheer and Ayush did too by leaving Twitter. Sonam still supporting you...

Only one statement- "They have not taken your theka. Chaahe wo apne foofu ki beti ya chache k bhatije ko support kare, they can do whatever the f*** they want to do." He should now ask his foofu ke bete and chacha ke bhatije to watch his films. I thought he was a mediocre film maker but after seeing the video of 'Drive' movie's song ' prem pujari', i am forced to believe and he deliberately made such a pathetic film . I couldn't bear to see the whole video let alone the movie.
