Karan Johar Says Hating On Nadaaniyan Became ‘Fashionable': ‘If I Hadn't Produced It…'
Last Updated: Karan Johar took responsibility for backlash against Nadaaniyan, starring Ibrahim Ali Khan-Khushi Kapoor, saying the film wouldn't have faced such hate if he hadn't produced it. Karan Johar recently opened up about the massive backlash over Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor starrer Nadaaniyan. He said that hating on the film became 'fashionable' and the more hate content creators were putting out, the more engagement they were getting. He said that he felt terrible for Ibrahim Ali Khan, Khushi Kapoor and director Shauna Gautam, because he feels they got so much hate largely because of his involvement as a producer. He felt the criticism to them was unfair, and he took responsibility, believing the hate was meant for him, not them. While speaking with Galatta Plus, 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.'" He further added, '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. 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." However, he added that they also have emotions, and are making their first steps in the business. 'Why you saying it ten times? I think it's because of me. I feel all the hate is all mine. It's not even theirs. If I had not produced this film, I don't think Shauna, Ibrahim or Khushi would get the kind of hate they did. And I feel terrible. And I feel like I have to take accountability of this that I think it's me. I attract this kind of negativity and hatred," he said. Nadaaniyan marked Shauna Gautam's directorial debut. The film starred Ibrahim Ali Khan, Khushi Kapoor alongside Mahima Chaudhry, Dia Mirza, Suniel Shetty, and Jugal Hansraj. It released on Netflix on 7th march, 2025. First Published:
