Jigra: Karan Johar REACTS to allegations kept on him
Taking to his Instagram handle, karan penned, “Twitter became X and became my X a while ago… I broke up with the nauseous noise and muted the unwarranted angst … but social media is like the Lockness monster it’s gets to you even when you can’t see it.. so was flooded with Vasan Bala’s interview which he answered with pure innocence and so much love.”
He further added, “The gore misinterpretation of his comment about me sending the script to Alia without his grammar checks made me laugh initially at the ludicrousness of it all but now is truly annoying me … Vasan continues to be one of my most talented and wonderful collaborators and if you see his interview and hear his tone you will totally get it! BUT NO … much ado about nothing is all over the place…”
“I fold my hands and tell everyone please hear and read entire interviews before making click bait assumptions. Loads of Love to all of you,” he concluded.
During an interview Vasan said that he had emailed Johar something akin to a stream of consciousness in which he was just writing down his thoughts. He remembered that Karan had called him later to tell him that he already gave Alia the email.
Vasan conveyed his disappointment, saying he didn’t like the outcome. And wondered why it was delivered in such a crude manner. He added that he would have at the very least done a spell check, fixed the grammar, and perhaps enhanced the hero’s contribution.
On October 11, 2024, Jigra, starring Alia and Vedang Raina, is scheduled to open in theaters.
