He shared how these tragic events led to an emotional connection with Janhvi, Khushi, and Anshula, as they navigated their grief together.
The word nepotism had sparked a debate in Bollywood two years ago, and filmmaker Karan Johar, who has been called the ‘flag bearer of nepotism’, has been time and again targeted by trolls on social media.
The latest attack came after speculation became rife that Karan is set to make a sequel of his 2008 hit Dostana, which starred John Abraham, Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, and Bobby Deol, with Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor.
