Karan Johar has been receiving backlash on social media due to the ongoing nepotism debate. The filmmaker has been trolled heavily and called out for promoting only start kids while the real talent is being thrown out of the industry. The insider-outsider debate began after Sushant Singh Rajput's untimely death. Fans believe the actor was sidelined as he was an outsider in the industry, which lead to his depression.

Earlier, on learning about Sushant's demise, Karan said he blames himself for not keeping in touch with the late actor. In an Instagram post he wrote, "I blame myself for not being in touch with you for the past year..... I have felt at times like you may have needed people to share your life with...but somehow I never followed up on that feeling...will never make that mistake again...we live in very energetic and noisy but still very isolated times ...some of us succumb to these silences and go within...we need to not just make relationships but also constantly nurture them....Sushants unfortunate demise has been a huge wake up call to me ...to my level of compassion and to my ability to foster and protect my equations.....I hope this resonates with all of you as well....will miss your infectious smile and your bear hug ...."
Karan Johar's Dharma Productions had backed Sushant's last release Drive, which after many delays, released on Netflix.
