In the video, many Bollywood celebrities, including Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Shahid Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Malaika Arora, and Arjun Kapoor, and filmmakers Zoya Akhtar and Ayan Mukerji, were spotted high on drugs. In September 2020, amid the Bollywood drug row, which was investigated by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Karan Johar’s name also surfaced following this, various news channels started implicating him to host a drug party in 2019, and a video of that alleged drug party, which surfaced for the first time in 2019, had resurfaced on news channels.was lodged in Bihar against Karan Johar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Salman Khan, and Ekta Kapoor. Karan Johar was in the epicentre who was accused of promoting nepotism in the industry. Following the suicide of Sushant Singh Rajput, a new wave of debate over nepotism in Bollywood took place on social media.She could’ve loved him back, why couldn’t she? So she got cancer and she died.” Yes, the last track met with many polarised responses and rightfully so, but I was like she didn’t love him ( Ranbir Kapoor), she has to die. He attracted controversy over his statement on Anushka Sharma’s character in the film “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016).” In his statement, he gave a weird reason about Anushka’s character’s death in the film.In Kofee With Karan, Anushka Sharma revealed how Karan Johar touched her inappropriately on the sets of “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.” Anushka even said that she was going to file a sexual harassment case against him and further added that even Jacqueline Fernandez once complained about Karan touching her inappropriately.”.Karan was found being threatened by MNS, who said that they would be beating Karan if he continued to work with Pakistani Actors. Though the actors Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan left India, Karan still supported them on twitter. After Uri Attack in September 2016, MNS and Shiv Sena demanded the Pakistani artistes to leave India and also asked the filmmakers to remove their scenes from the film.In 2016, reportedly, Ajay Devgn suspected that Karan was paying Kamal Rashid Khan for only praising Karan’s upcoming film “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” and discrediting Ajay Devgn’s film Shivaay.An FIR was registered against Karan Johar and the actors, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Sonakshi Sinha, Arjun Kapoor for their participation in “AIB Knockout roast.” A complaint was filed against them for indulging in obscene behaviour in public.To which Karan replied, ” Disaster is your territory Ramu….No one can ever replace the comfortable place you have made for yourself there.” The fight started after Ram Gopal expressed his desire to remake “Raavan (2010)” as “My Name Is Raavan,” which was an indirect dig at Karan Johar’s “My Name Is Khan.” Karan replied by saying, “You have an amazing sense of humour Ramu! Never shows up in your films though.” A similar thing happened at the time of Karan’s movie, “Student Of The Year (2019),” when Ram Gopal tweeted that if someone takes off Karan Johar’s student of the year from Teacher of the Year, it will become a disaster of the year. Indian film director Ram Gopal Verma and Karan Johar are always in a cold war with each other.Later, Prabhas shut down the rumours saying that the news was fake. In 2018, there were rumours stating that Karan and actor Prabhas had a rift between them because Prabhas rejected another film of Karan due to salary issues.
