Oops, he did it again! Karan Johar, even while casually surfing the Internet, finds a way to meet controversy halfway. Yesterday, the Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra starrer Kesari released and received an outstanding response from the audience. KJo’s production house Dharma is one of the producers of the film, so as a friend and a proud producer, he took to Twitter to share the film’s success.
Gratitude for the abundant love for our film #Kesari! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 @SinghAnurag79 @akshaykumar ! pic.twitter.com/eZOefeRsrh

His Twitter’s flooded with positive reviews. It looked like KJo was having the best Friday ever. Until he wasn’t.

Amidst all the comments about the movie, there was one that got KJo back into the headlines. In this comment, a Twitter user abused Shah Rukh Khan for his role in Zero and compared him to Akshay in Kesari. It was one nasty tweet full of offensive words for SRK, Karan Johar’s best friend. And he liked it! KJo liked this user’s comment on Shah Rukh and all hell broke on Twitter. The screenshot has gone viral…
…and so has the hashtag #ShameOnKaranJohar. SRK fans are calling out KJo for liking the insulting tweet. And he has become a target for trolls yet again. It’s quite possible that Karan liked the tweet by mistake, but social media doesn’t see it that way.
And here comes PR article to save the burnt ass of Karan Johar. Among all the tweets he chose to like that one particular tweet which has abused SRK and his film. This is not a mistake, His real colour came out mistakenly. @Popdiarieslive @karanjohar#ShameOnKaranJohar https://t.co/2gADaFGEIC

Twitterati is urging fellow users to boycott Dharma movies. Boycott is such a diluted word now – everyone wants to boycott everything. Remember Surf Excel controversy?
RT if you’ll boycott upcoming @DharmaMovies

One user indirectly called him a snake for being a bad friend to SRK. And soon enough, more fans followed suit.
Just remove SRK’s movies from cobra productions filmography and see where it actually stands #ShameOnKaranJohar

‘ @iamsrk it’s high time you should know that you have been keeping Snake on your Neck. This ungrateful @karanjohar can stoop low for money and fame. If he doesn’t apologize publicly, we will trend day and night against him and fill his mention with abuses.#ShameOnKaranJohar pic.twitter.com/mSlJ0OKyvm

Let’s go back down the memory lane to the day of Shah Rukh’s birthday last year. Karan had posted a picture of SRK and his wife Gauri Khan with the sweetest birthday wish for him. He wrote, “Happy birthday bhai!!!! Have known Gauri and you for 25 years and it will always be the most special relationship of my life!!! Thank you for being family and for all the memories …and here’s to many more!!! May #zero be your biggest and hugest blockbuster!!!❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗”.

*Sigh*
Well, Karan thinks its a “technical problem”. The filmmaker just took to Twitter amidst the chaos and tweeted:
Guys having a technical problem with my twitter account! Strange things are going on!from uploading shoe picture and gibberish to liking tweets I haven’t even read and would NEVER even acknowledge! Please bear with me and I apologise for any inconvenience! Sorting it out asap!

Aaj twitter pe thodi gadbad ho gayi but baaki sab #firstclass hai. 🙈
— Karan Johar (@karanjohar) March 22, 2019
LOL! Do you think this was an honest mistake or are you team #ShameOnKaranJohar on this one? Let’s hear what SRK has to say about this, shall we?
I hate clarifications on SM. @karanjohar is technologically challenged but has other good qualities like his taste in clothes!?Just like Life, twitter doesn’t come with instructions, so mistakes r natural….& also he has fat fingers. Go easy all, Make Lov not War…it’s more fun
