He ruined the 2000's by constantly buying awards for SRK/Kajol and then now in this era he is doing with that Alia.
He promotes nepotism, the "elite attitude" and pretty much separates the film world. No other director behaves so high and mighty and doesnt really play the games KJO does.

Look at Rajkumar Hirani - who hardly repeats people in his films let alone "uses them".

Karan Johar is everything that is wrong with our industry - if we chuck him out I really believe the film world would be a better place.

Sorry special appearances don't count 😆

Two films with Aamir, 2 with sanjay and then Ranbir - not too bad

Can't compare that with Karan who literally gives Alia 80% of his films

I do hate Karan a hell lot for, as you mentioned, his "elite clique" glorifying tendencies and his constant need to be associated with successful and currently "hot" people.
That "blockbuster" pic that he choreographed is a prime example of that attitude of his. Too bad Aamir's TOH bombed big time after that though. 😆
