TIL Desk Bollywood/ Filmmaker Karan Johar, who has been feted with the Padma Shri for his contribution in the field of performing arts, says he is honoured to receive the prestigious award in the same year as actress Kangana Ranaut.
Tensions sparked off between Kangana and Karan Johar in 2017 after the actress, on Johar”s chat”s show “Koffee With Karan”, called him “intolerant” towards outsiders and the”flag bearer of nepotism” in the film industry.
The director was later seen cracking a joke at a Bollywood awards ceremony in New Jersey, when he along with actors Saif Ali Khan and Varun Dhawan, chanted “nepotism rocks” on the stage.
Kangana”s comment on the talk show, as well as Johar”s reaction, triggerred off widespread social media trolling against many industry kids of Bollywood, which continues even today. However, Johar now insists he does not have any grouse against Kangana anymore.
