They Are Cursing It So Much But Also Watching It

Apart
from
his
larger-than-life
movies,
Karan
Johar
is
also
known
for
his
popular
talk
show,
Koffee
With
Karan
where
he
gets
some
of
the
biggest
celebrities
from
the
film
industry
up,
close
and
personal.

While
the
show
is
immensely
popular
with
the
fans,
it
also
finds
itself
sometimes
on
the
receiving
end
of
the
netizens
for
the
controversial
comments
made
by
the
guests
and
the
host
himself.

In
a
recent
interview
with
The
Hindu,
Karan
Johar
opened
up
on
the
hate
and
trolling
that
his
show
receives
and
said
that
he
sometimes
finds
it
‘entertaining’.
The
director-producer
said
that
he
feels
very
‘moved
and
touched’
by
the
reels
of
discourse
that
people
have
about

Koffee
With
Karan.

The
publication
quoted
Karan
as
saying,
“So,
I
don’t
know
how
much
of
the
hate
and
trolling
is
actually
about
the
show;
it’s
really
more
about
the
fact
that
a
show
like
this
exists,
and
has
this
kind
of
abandon.
A
lot
of
the
hate
sometimes
is
entertaining,
because
I
wonder
why
they
are
cursing
it
so
much,
but
also
watching
it?
I
read
the
threads
on
Twitter
and
other
portals;
reels
and
reels
of
discourse
that
people
are
having
about
KWK…
and
I
feel
very
moved
and
touched.
I’m
like,
that’s
a
lot
of
time
you
have
taken
out
of
your
lives
to
write
such
a
long
column
on
something
you
hated
so
much.”

Speaking
about
the
trolls,
he
further
added,
“I’ll
be
honest;
I’m
definitely
not
justifying
anything
to
anyone,
but
I
feel
like
I
owe
it
to
myself
to
talk
about
it.
It’s
cathartic
for
me.
I
feel
sometimes,
if
I
don’t
talk
about
it,
people
may
think
that
I’m
actually
still
affected
by
it.”

With
regards
to
work,
Karan
Johar
is
all
set
to
return
to
the
director’s
chair
with

Rocky
Aur
Rani
Ki
Prem
Kahani
which
has
an
ensemble
cast
that
includes
Ranveer
Singh,
Alia
Bhatt,
Dharmendra,
Jaya
Bachchan
and
Shabana
Azmi.
