Karan Johar Insists Ishaan Khatter & Janhvi Kapoor Are Here Because Of Their Hard Work & Not Because Of ¡®That Word¡¯

Karan Johar was called the flag bearer of nepotism. He laughed it off on his chat show but later when it created a big controversy, he chose to speak on it. He made a mockery of Kangana Ranaut on the stage of an award show only to apologise later.

But will talks on this much-controversial topic ever fade away? Seems like it won¡¯t! Karan Johar is now launching Sridevi¡¯s daughter Janhvi Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor¡¯s brother Ishaan Khatter in Dhadak. At the trailer launch event yesterday, he said that one thing people don¡¯t realise is that even the star kids have to work hard and appeal to the audiences.

When asked what is his biggest concern while launching a star kid, he said, ¡°That they go beyond their name and make an identity of their own. That¡¯s our responsibility and even theirs.¡± He added that people are quick to attach these kids¡¯ name with nepotism without realising that they are just kids.

¡°Nowadays, there is so much debate about name, but people forget that even behind a name, there is passion and hard work. It¡¯s not easy to face the camera and to come in front of the media. They are kids. And we put a label to them.

¡°There is a word, it has run for two years. I wouldn¡¯t even name it because I will be promoting the same concept. I will just say that people are here not because of that name but because of their hard work.¡±
