Karan Johar criticized for promoting nepotism

Director Karan Johar has launched several celebrity kids including Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, and Janhvi Kapoor in Bollywood. After the news of Shanaya’s debut in Bollywood, netizens trolled Karan Johar for promoting nepotism.

RJ Himani Monalisa D tweeted “You bet he changed Bollywood forever. For once you are right Swara Bhaskar. He is responsible for introducing drugs and nepotism in the film world. And you are one of his biggest chamchis.”

A Twitter user wrote, “waah nepotism …waah….as expected…..it was very very obvious that Sanjay Kapoors daughter will be launched by Karan Johar…..ndthats because Sanjay n Karan belong to the same circle of friends…. ufff.”

Another user wrote, “Karan Johar back again. Promoting Nepotism. If we still watch his and Nepokid’s movies then we are fool.”
