Bollywood director Karan Johar said he was upset after watching a comedian of a TV show mimicked him in ‘poor taste’. The filmmaker shared a statement on his Instagram Stories and said that the mimicry was in ‘poor taste’.
He added that while he would expect such a behaviour from trolls, he didn’t anticipated it from people within the film industry. Although Karan Johar did not name the show or the comedian, several social media users believe he was talking about Kettan Singh, who mimicked him on the show, Madness Machayenge – India Ko Hasayenge.
Karan turned to Instagram Stories to express his dissatisfaction and fury at a comedian who appeared to mock him in a comedy show’s promo video. Karan wrote,
“I was sitting and watching television with my mom…and saw a promo of a reality comedy show on a supposedly respectable channel. a comic was mimicking me in exceptionally poor taste…I expect this from trolls and faceless and nameless people but when your own industry can disrespect someone who has been in the business for over 25 years it speaks volumes about the times we live in…this doesn’t even anger me it just makes me sad!” Karan wrote on his Instagram Stories.
Film producer Ekta Kapoor shared his statement on her Instagram Stories and extended her support. “Happened so many times! Ugly humour sometimes on shows. And even at award functions. And then they expect you to attend! Karan please ask them to imitate one movie or classic of yours,” Ekta wrote. Karan reposted the story and replied, “Love you Ektu.”
Several social media users took to Instagram, X and Reddit to decode Karan’s cryptic post. Many guessed he was talking about Kettan Singh, a comedian on Sony TV’s comedy show Madness Machayenge. The conclusion was based upon a recent promo the channel shared on Instagram and TV. In the promo, Kettan dressed up as Karan and took a dig at his chat show, Koffee With Karan.
The show is judged by Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi. The show also features Harsh Gujral, Snehil, Ankita Shrivastav, Paritosh Tripathi, Kushal Badrike, Inder Sahni, and Gaurav Dubey.
