Ever
since
Kangana
Ranaut
called
Karan
Johar
a
flagbearer
of
nepotism
on
his
popular
talk
show
'Koffee
With
Karan'
in
2017,
the
filmmaker
often
finds
himself
at
the
receiving
end
of
trolls
every
time
he
launches
star
kids.
Further,
in
the
last
few
years,
certain
incidents
in
the
Film
Industry
have
triggered
the
debate
on
this
topic
time
and
again.
Amid
this,
Karan
Johar
in
his
recent
interview
with
NDTV,
opened
up
on
how
he
continues
to
get
trolled
for
the
'N'
word
even
today
adding
that
he
has
developed
a
thick
skin
now.
The
filmmaker
told
the
news
portal,
"It
started
on
this
show
(Koffee
With
Karan).
It's
never
left
the
industry,
it's
never
left
social
media,
by
and
large,
I'm
still
cursed,
trolled,
and
abused
for
it.
Now
I'm
not
bothered
about
it.
It
went
from
annoyance
to
amusement.
Now
I'm
amused.
Every
time,
I'm
like,
'It's
so
last
season
now,
like
come
up
with
another
problem." I
mean
don't
go
on
and
on
about
nepotism.
You
don't
know
what
the
hell
it
is.'"
He
continued,
"So
what
should
I
do
if
I
have
a
child?
I
should
not
give
them
the
privilege
of
what
I'm
doing?
I
mean
I'm
a
parent.
It'll
come
naturally.
It
happens
in
every
business,
but
that
one
word
just
became
like
a
curse
in
my
filmography
or
my
life
and
I'm
living
with
it.
I
say
that
I
get
nepo
spasms
now
and
every
time
I
hear
that
word.
I
feel
like
I
get
neck
pain."
Speaking
about
what
has
changed
about
'Koffee
With
Karan'
over
the
years,
the
Ae
Dil
Hai
Mushkil
director
explained,
"When
I
see
myself
in
season
one
(of
Koffee
With
Karan),
I
feel
like
there
was
this
innocent
child
who
is
asking
questions
like
an
elocutionist,
trying
to
be
very
prim
and
proper
in
my
delivery.
Over
the
seasons,
I
feel
like
there's
a
lot
of
unabashedness,
a
lot
of
ease.
Now
I'm
more
like
my
self,
not
bothered
about
how
I
am
looking,
how
I'm
sitting,
whether
my
expressions
are
too
much."
With
respect
to
movies,
Karan
Johar's
next
directorial
is
Rocky
Aur
Rani
Ki
Prem
Kahani
which
stars
Ranveer
Singh,
Alia
Bhatt,
Dharmendra,
Jaya
Bachchan
and
Shabana
Azmi.
