The nepotism debate refuses to die. We all know Karan Johar will be launching Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter in Dhadak, which is the Hindi remake of Sairat. Now, both Janhvi and Ishaan happen to be star kids and we all know that director producer KJo has been accused of nepotism in the past.
Yesterday, Karan tweeted, “#धड़क starring Janhvi & Ishaan 6th July 2018 @ShashankKhaitan @apoorvamehta18 @ZeeStudios_ (sic).”Post this, his Twitter account has been flooded with comments on nepotism. Check out a few tweets.
“Kangana of your show rightly pointed out "Flag Bearer of Nepotism (sic)," said this user.

Any television actress could have been better than her.
This user wants Karan Johar to look out for someone who does not belong to the industry.

The controversy of nepotism began when Kangana called Karan the 'Flag-bearer of Nepotism' in the film industry during an episode of Koffee With Karan. While Karan was pretty cool when it happened on the episode, but at the back to his mind, he always felt that he had to send out his counter. He spewed hatred on Kangana during an interview at the London School of Economics, where he said that 'Kangana didn't know the meaning of Nepotism'. He even went on to accuse Kangana for using the 'Victim card' and the 'Women card'.
