Karan
Johar,
the
Bollywood
filmmaker
has
finally
issued
an
official
statement,
against
the
drug
consumption
allegations.
The
director-producer
took
to
his
official
social
media
pages
to
release
his
statement
on
the
ongoing
controversy.
In
his
statement,
Karan
Johar
has
stated
that
he
does
not
consume
narcotics,
or
promote
the
consumption
of
any
such
substance.
The
filmmaker
pointed
out
that
he
had
clarified
that
the
allegations
against
him
are
false,
in
2019
itself.
Karan
Johar
has
added
that
some
media
platforms
are
wrongly
and
misleadingly
reporting
that
narcotics
were
consumed
at
a
party,
that
was
held
at
his
residence
on
July
28,
2019.
He
further
added
that
he
does
not
consume
narcotics
or
promote
or
encourage
the
consumption
of
the
same.
Karan
Johar
has
also
made
it
clear
that
Anubhav
Chopra
and
Kshitij
Prasad
are
not
his
close
aides,
as
a
few
media
channels
suggested
recently.
The
filmmaker
stated
that
either
he
or
Dharma
Productions
are
not
responsible
for
what
people
do
in
their
personal
lives.
He
concluded
the
official
statement,
suggesting
that
he
will
move
legally
against
this
baseless
attack
on
him,
to
protect
his
rights,
if
the
media
did
not
restrain
from
spreading
false
allegations.
Karan
Johar's
colleagues
and
friends
from
Bollywood,
including
director
Punit
Malhotra
and
former
actress
Amrita
Arora,
extended
their
support
to
the
filmmaker
by
commenting
on
his
social
media
post.
The
official
statement
by
the
Dharma
Productions
head
has
now
created
a
new
stir
on
social
media
platforms.
