Karan isn¡¯t new to online criticism
This is not the first time that Karan got brutally heavy on online trolls. The one in larger notice was him getting bashed post the death of Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020. He faced the heat for allegedly promoting nepotism in Bollywood which even led to personal attacks on him. In a recent episode of Koffee with Karan, Johar even opened up on the impacts of trolls on him.

And people can see that this is a problem, you know. So if people get upset with all these news anchors who are screaming unnecessarily, then I think the both of them are exchanging notes. There is no difference between them¡±, the Kashmir Files director added.
