Karan Johar latest news: Karan Johar finally addressed the criticism he received for the Koffee With Karan 7 episode featuring Sara Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor. The filmmaker was present at the grand trailer launch of Liger on Thursday with Ranveer Singh, Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday when he was asked by a journalist to comment on a particular episode from his talk show.

Karan dismissed the reports of favouring Janhvi over Sara. Many viewers called him out on social media after the episode aired and felt that he behaved nastily with Sara by constantly reminding her that her parents were separated when she was a kid. Clarifying the same, Karan told the media, “That’s completely untrue. I was just feeling bad because Janhvi Kapoor lost both rounds. She lost the rapid fire round and she lost the game round. I was perhaps just trying to be nice.”

Karan added that everyone just misunderstood him because he loves both the girls and he can never be nasty to anyone of them. “In that process, I think everybody read it wrong. I love them both dearly, they are not only both wonderful artistes and girls but they are kids I have known ever since they were possibly three years old so there is not a question of a bias, not with them, not ever,” he explained.

While he tried to end the debate, a section of the people still didn’t buy his clarification. The video from the event is currently going viral on social media and many people have commented on it by saying it was just not about the game rounds but about his overall demeanour on the show. One user wrote, “It started wayyyyy before the 2 game rounds. The show started with Sara ka childhood trauma it never got better after that,” another user wrote, “If everybody has read you wrong, you were wrong KJo.”
