Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise has taken a toll on the Bollywood Industry blaming the entire industry to be clenched with nepotism. Star kids are being trolled and called as product of nepotism and the real reason to replace Sushant’s innate talent. Karan Johar too has been trolled by netizens.
Karan Johar has never been affected by trolls but this time the brouhaha that has spurred after Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise has affected him alot. The savage criticism and trolls, calling him the face of nepotism and even the reason for Sushant’s suicide has taken a serious toll on Karan’s health.
A very close friend reveals, “Karan is a broken man. After being trolled for years he thought he had developed a thick skin. But the brutal hatred that he has received after Sushant’s death has left him shattered.”
What has affected Karan Johar so severely this time? “It’s the fact that those close to him are being attacked that makes Karan feel really guilty. His 3-year old twins are getting death threats. Somebody like Ananya Pandey who has no connection with Sushant, had a hater on the social media platform asking her to commit suicide to compensate for Sushant’s death,” says Karan’s friend.
Does Karan intend to come out with any statement regarding Sushant? “None at all. Lawyers’ advice. Better to keep mum. Karan is in no condition to speak. The fight has gone out of him. He looks like a man beaten by fate. It’s not a pleasant experience to speak to Karan. He breaks down and cries when we call him. He is constantly crying and asking what he has done to deserve this,” says the friend. He also said that Karan’s situation fears him.
