This Is How Karan Johar Reacred When He Heard Kangana Ranaut's Name At An Event!

“I am going to run out of here.” That is how filmmaker Karan Johar reacted when he heard Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut’s name at an event.

The filmmaker’s war of words with Kangana has led to a huge debate on nepotism in the film industry and Johar, who was present at the launch of Ustad Amjad Ali Khan’s book Master on Masters, shared a funny moment with Suhel Seth on the same.

When Seth complimented Johar that he did not look his age, 44, the filmmaker quipped that he was “honoured” to listen something “polite” from him. To which, Seth replied, “I don’t believe in politics of hatred. I believe affection has a much more charming virtue.”

Johar added, “I have three words to ask- who are you ?” Seth said “Kangana” as the filmmaker laughed and added, “Really ? Then I am going to run out of here.”

Kangana kickstarted the debate on nepotism in Bollywood by calling Johar the “flag bearer of nepotism” on his TV chat show. During her visit to Karan’s show to promote her film Rangoon, Kangana had said, “In my biopic, if it is ever made, you will play the stereotypical villain. One who is intolerant of outsiders, the flag-bearer of nepotism in Bollywood and movie mafia.”

Before the panel discussion began, the filmmaker took a dig at Kangana’s statement by calling himself “the nepotistic man”.

Johar, who recently became a single parent to twins Yash and Roohi, says he is making sure that they grow up listening to good music.

“My introduction to Hindi cinema was through Indian film music. When I made nursery for my kids, I made sure that I have music playing in that room all the time. I want them to grow up with music. Someone told me that there is Coldplay version of nursery rhymes. But I said no. They should learn and live with the music I grew up on. Because they are my children and they have to love the music I love because they have to love me,” the filmmaker added.
