Karan Johar slams comedy show for mimicking him in ‘poor taste’: ‘It just makes me sad!’

Filmmaker Karan Johar took to Instagram on Sunday night to express his disappointment over a comedian's poor impersonation of him on a show.

He wrote, ‘I was sitting and watching television with my mom... and saw a promo of a reality comedy show on a supposedly respectable channel . a comic was mimicking me in exceptionally poor taste...’

He added, ‘I expect this from trolls and faceless and nameless people but when your own industry can disrespect someone who has been in the business for over 25 years it speaks volumes about the times we live in... this doesn't even anger me it just makes me sad!’

Karan's note is going viral on social media.

Karan’s recent posts

Earlier, Karan took to Instagram stories to advise fans that it's okay if some people don't like them.

‘You absolutely HAVE to become ok with not being liked. No matter how loving or kind you are, you will never people please your way into collective acceptance. You could be a whole ray of sunshine and people will hate you cuz they're used to rain. Be ok with shining regardless,’ his post read.

Earlier, the filmmaker sparked speculation about current Bollywood trends and the types of movies being produced with another post.
He wrote, ‘Bada scale chahiye toh wo banaao. Action chali. Action banaao! Love story chali toh love story banaao! Chick flick hit hui toh wahan jaao! Mausam har hafte badalta hai... conviction har hafte marta hai! Box office hai bhaiya, Instagram reel nahi... 30 second ki trending mein reh jaaoge wahin ke wahin!’ (If you want a big scale, then create it. Action is working. Make action flicks..If a love story works, then make romantic movie. If a chick flick becomes a hit, then make that... weather changes every week... conviction dies every week..It's the box office, not Instagram reels... you'll stay in the 30-second trend there.)
