With nearly two million active followers on the site that he deactivated, Karan continues to be active on Facebook and Instagram. This fact didn¡¯t go well with Vivek and he expressed that if someone seeks positive energies, then they need to quit social media completely, and not just Twitter. Vivek tweeted,

I believe a genuine person seeking positive energies would leave Social Media completely. Leaving only Twitter because it doesn¡¯t allow hypocrisy or fakeness but staying on Instagram because it gets brands and allows fakeness itself is a negative and screwed up approach to life. https://t.co/oNfwCDO8Nu

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.

¡°I think it is a bulls**t programme also, because¡­ what is it doing? Nobody relates with it, you¡¯re doing it only for your inner circle, for your friends and just to make each other happy, and some channels are paying for it. 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.
