Karan Johar gets slammed by Shah Rukh Khan fans for liking anti-SRK tweet. Here’s what happened
Hell broke loose when filmmaker Karan Johar liked an offensive tweet against Shah Rukh Khan. Twitter is in no mood to forgive KJo for appreciating a disgusting comment against SRK, who happens to be one of his closest friends in the industry. The tweet in question, compared Shah Rukh Khan’s Zero to Akshay Kumar’s Kesari on the grounds of their box office number. Providing a clarification, Karan Johar claims that his account has been hacked and misbehaving recently. He claims to have not even read any such tweet, let alone liking it.
In his explanation for liking a tweet that wrote against Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar wrote: Guys having a technical problem with my twitter account! Strange things are going on!from uploading shoe picture and gibberish to liking tweets I haven’t even read and would NEVER even acknowledge! Please bear with me and I apologise for any inconvenience! Sorting it out asap!
His close friend Shah Rukh Khan, who is known to take social media in a sporting manner, took the matter lightly. He wrote a lengthy tweet on why he doesn't want Karan to be clarifying for liking that tweet. Although, being his witty self, SRK subtly pulled Karan Johar's legs while taking a jibe at his 'fat fingers' and fashion sense.
He wrote: I hate clarifications on SM. @karanjohar is technologically challenged but has other good qualities like his taste in clothes!?Just like Life, twitter doesn’t come with instructions, so mistakes r natural....& also he has fat fingers. Go easy all, Make Lov not War...it’s more fun
However, Twitter is in no mood to let the matter go. Soon, the die-hard Shah Rukh Khan fans started trolling Karan Johar and slamming him for backbiting his close friend SRK.
Many angered Shah Rukh Khan fans also demanded a ban on Karan Johar movies. They asked their fellow SRKians to boycott any KJo movie including Kalank that is scheduled to release on April 17.
For the uninitiated, Karan Johar’s production house Dharma Productions has bankrolled Akshay Kumar’s war-drama Kesari, which release this Holi. In its first day itself, Kesari has earned around Rs 21 crore at the box office. The offensive tweet compared Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan’s films Kesari and Zero respectively, that released on different festivals in a time of one year.
