Over the years, Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar has been subjected to a lot of trolling and mocking by the netizens as well as celebrities. He has locked horns with actress Kangana Ranaut, who had blatantly called him movie mafia during an episode of Koffee With Karan. She is often seen taking to her official social media handle to express anger towards the lack of opportunities for outsiders in the industry because of nepotism.

A video of Karan, who has been taking anonymous jibes at the naysayers on Instagram, talking to Anupama Chopra about the Koffee With Karan controversy is going viral on social media. Uploaded on April 19, the video shows the producer explaining how he had to listen to the actress’ opinion with a smile on his face because she was a guest on his show. He further reveals that she might not have understood the meaning behind her statement as he doesn’t work with his nieces, nephews, daughters or sons. ALSO READ: OMG!
