Karan Johar released a video statement yesterday breaking his silence on the anti-national comments that were aimed at him. Soon after the news broke, Twitter was abuzz with reactions, and his clarifications had clearly not had the desired impact.
In the video, KJo has appealed to Indian audiences to not boycott his film ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’. He has even promised not to work with any ‘talent’ from our neighbouring country in the ‘current scenario’.
Here is how Twitter reacted:
The one’s who didn’t spare him even after his clarification.

Sad that a citizen of a democracy is bullied into doing a video to emphasise his patriotism to pseudo-patriotic political thugs @karanjohar

@karanjohar produced his film at the same time PM air dashed to Lahore for birthday of Pak PM. Why should he apologise now to bullies? https://t.co/hqytPi4Ckx
