Karan Johar says 'social media hate against Bollywood mirage' never worried him

Negative banter is just a mirage, says filmmaker Karan Johar whose ‘tell all’ celeb show “Koffee with Karan” has been subjected to ridicule, social media trolling and spawned many a controversy within the industry and outside it as well. Johar is ready for a seventh season of his talk show, which has featured the entire array of Indian cinema celebrities, many of whom found themselves in controversy for their candid comments about colleagues and others.   "There was a lot of social media hate generally towards Bollywood at one point and 'Koffee with Karan' popped up as one of the targets. But I knew even then that this is all virtual, it's not real. It's not really the truth because had it been why would Disney+ Hotstar want to do the show? Why would actors want to come on the show? Why would I be still interested in doing it? I think we were all aligned. And that's why we realised that all that negative banter was just that — it was a mirage. It didn't really exist. None at all," Johar told PTI.
