Karan Johar slams Podcasters
Filmmaker Karan Johar has come down heavily on a section of podcasters and chat show hosts who, according to him, thrive on negativity and clickbait content. Taking to Instagram, Johar penned a scathing note expressing his frustration at the way certain platforms invite irrelevant guests only to spread venom against hardworking members of the film industry.
“While I have utmost respect for credible and respectable members of the media! One sub culture of podcasters (basically chat shows with new age terminology) who have emerged from the woodworks... woods that no GPS can locate… they invite guests who have nothing to lose who haven’t been invited since World War 2 and those guests spew venom and say the most disrespectful things about hardworking and legendary members of our fraternity!!!!! This needs to STOP!!” Johar wrote on his instagram story.
