Karan Johar, Hardik Pandya dance away at Akash, Shloka's wedding
There seems to have been no love lost between filmmaker Karan Johar and cricketer Hardik Pandya after the controversial "Koffee With Karan" episode, as the two celebrities danced away together at the grand Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta wedding. Karan and Hardik were a part of the wedding procession, where actor Ranbir Kapoor and director Ayan Mukerji also let their hair down to Mika Singh's live singing. Dressed in a bright sherwani, Karan matched steps with Hardik, who chose a cool blue kurta with a sleeveless Nehru jacket at the lively and colourful wedding procession on Saturday.
The dance video, which is doing the rounds on social media, has garnered interest because of the "Koffee With Karan season 6" episode in which Hardik, along with K.L. Rahul made some unsavoury and misogynistic comments on women and received a lot of flak. Following the episode, the two cricketers were sent home midway through a three-match ODI series in Australia. Karan had later said in an interview that he felt "very responsible" about the repercussions that the two cricketers faced. Watch the video here-
Things went south for cricketers Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul when the duo made some offensive comments on Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee With Karan. According to ANI, a case was registered in Jodhpur against the trio, including host Karan Johar, after the controversial statements made by them. Pandya and Rahul were even suspended after episode and were found to be racial and misogynistic by people. Following the episode, social media tore into Pandya for his comments and mentality on women. The all-rounder did apologise for his actions but he along with Rahul were temporarily suspended by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The pair was sent back home from Australia in the middle of the tour and were asked to explain themselves.
Later the ban was lifted and Pandya joined the Indian squad in New Zealand and impressed with both bat and ball while Rahul's flop show continued against the England Lions in the unofficial ODIs.
