KJO- At 48, the lonely boy who lived in Malabar Hill

#KaranJohar: At 48, the lonely boy who lived in Malabar Hill with Punjabi-Sindhi parents who were much older has become a shining advertisement for India’s soft power, writes @kavereeb

Picked some bits from the article :

• Everyone’s favourite host and dost, and the industry’s most articulate spokesman, finds himself cast aside, baffled by the silence of those whose careers he has built or sustained. This too shall pass, he believes, but being at the receiving end of theories which hold him accountable for the system that caused the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput has clearly shaken him. -(who is KJO hinting at? )
• Takht, which tells the tale of Dara Shikoh and Aurangzeb—should have made Johar the darling of left-liberals. But even they feel hesitant to speak up for him at this moment of backlash. It’s not merely fear that they too will become victims of orchestrated public censure, but also the discomfort with Johar’s pragmatism. (Left liberals where are you all? ) 😆

• Without his backing that came via his friendship with actor and producer Rana Daggubati, Baahubali would not have become a pan-Indian blockbuster. 🤔
  

That picture with Sushant is in such poor taste, smh.

Like seriously 🙄, movie was already a blockbuster without him. He just know how to take credit of anything.

If he has this much power to make a movie this much superhit, then he can do it with any of his movie, but we didn't see it before or even after release of Bahubali.

I do not blame KJo for Sush's death.....but man Karan Johar is the most ungrateful person out there.....after what he did with SRK....I don't have any sympathy for him.....KJo...don't cry....had you not dropped people who made YOU...like hot potatoes when they were at a low....may be some would be still supporting u...I know SRK fans would have....but now WE DON'T CARE.....you are a rat who are the first ones to abandon a sinking ship....but guess what u loser....no one remembers the rats.....but people still and will always remember the Titanic...😉

Good thing my parents were of my age and I didn't have to live in Malabar hill. Difficult life for him.

The PR team seems to be working overtime. Did it not pinch somewhere while slipping in Sushant's picture?

"Is he the très chic gatekeeper to Bollywood’s ultra-exclusive club, just an accidental collector of starlings or an obsesssive attention seeker with his home videos and reality-set Instagram shoots?"

I think all three.

Poor Kjo 😭 😭😭

The world is so cruel for privileged people like him. I mean where is the justice like how can a person who gives chances to writers and directors who are outsiders be a nepotistic like I cannot imagine like can you? Come on.

What a PR sham of an article.

They didn’t shy away from using SSR’s pic.. Sick.
