Netflix's 'Nadaaniyan' with Ibrahim Ali Khan & Khushi Kapoor is one of the most trolled films of 2025 so far. And producer Karan Johar in an interview with Galatta Plus, had something to say on the hate that came his way.
Johar was quoted saying, 'More than anything else, I was feeling terrible for…and I know that I'm apparently not supposed to say this also. Because I am not supposed to show sympathy to Ibrahim or Khushi or Shauna. Because they were all first timers.'

The filmmaker added, 'Apparently, they are not meant to have emotions, because they come from privilege. So hate on them. They're not meant to feel bad at all because they come from entitlement. They come from privilege.'
Karan Johar said, 'I remember we reached out to certain YouTubers like 'Calm down. Can we just forget Nadaaniyan?' They were like 'But every time we write about it, we get so many views.' The moment we stop writing about it, we are losing our followers. We want more followers. So even hating on Nadaaniyan became fashionable. The more you hate on it, the more videos you put out, the more engagement you will get. People are loving nepo kid bashing and I am like 'move on.''
When the film released, Ibrahim literally sent assault threats to a Pakistani journalist, and recently spoke about his actions in an interview.
In an interview with Filmfare, Ibrahim Ali Khan said, 'I know I shouldn't have reacted but I'm also new to public scrutiny.'
The actor added, 'When he made that personal comment about my body, it felt like a below-the-belt remark. But going forward, I'll be more composed. I shouldn't have reacted. It won't happen again.'
The actor wrote to the journalist, 'Tamur almost like Taimoor… you got my brother's name. Guess what you don't got? His face. You ugly piece of trash. Since you can't keep your words to yourself, don't bother, they're irrelevant just like you.'

Aap Jaisa Koi OTT Release Date: When And Where To Watch R Madhavan, Fatima Sana Shaikhs Rom-Com Online
Mumbai: R Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh's upcoming film 'Aap Jaisa Koi' has finally got a release date. Set to stream on OTT giant Netflix, the hype to watch R Madhavan and Fatima Shaikh in a romantic-comedy genre has been on cloud nine ever since the makers released the movie's first look few months ago. The makers have now announced the release date of the film. It is set to stream exclusively on Netflix from July 11. Take A Look At The Post View this post on Instagram A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) Starring R. Madhavan as Shrirenu, a reserved Sanskrit teacher, and Fatima Shaikh as Madhu, a spirited French instructor, 'Aap Jaisa Koi' brings together two opposites in a story that's as much about family and belonging as it is about romance. Marking Madhavan's return to the genre he is loved for - romance- the film offers a fresh take on relationships -- blending humor, vulnerability, and warmth against a layered backdrop of family ties and personal rediscovery. The film is directed by Vivek Soni. The filmmaker says that 'Aap Jaisa Koi' is set to showcase a modern romance which highlights the need for real connections in today's world. "Aap Jaisa Koi is a film about breaking free from the walls we build around ourselves. It's about embracing the awkwardness and vulnerability of love. Working with Netflix again after Meenakshi Sundareshwar has been a fulfilling experience, and I'm excited to present a love story that's tender, messy, and intimate, one that embraces vulnerability without losing its charm and breeziness. It quietly questions the roles we fall into in relationships and reflects the quiet courage it takes to truly let someone in. With R. Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh bringing so much heart to their roles, the film reflects the authenticity that Netflix viewers truly connect with. It's a modern romance that speaks to the need for real connections in today's world," said Vivek Soni. The movie is produced under the banner of Dharmatic Entertainments.
