Karan Johar’s ‘Takeover’ Act In Melbourne Leaves Simi Garewal Miffed

Just as Karan Johar and Kajol's friendship was slowly mending, looks like the celebrated filmmaker has left another celebrity upset and that is Simi Garewal.

The two attended The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) along with other Bollywood stars like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan,  Raveena Tandon, Konkona Sen SharmaMalaika Arora, Rahul Bose and many more.

The show was hosted by Simi Garewal and it seems from her recent tweet, that KJO went behind her back and did something he shouldn't have done.

Simi tweeted, "After I finished hosting IFFM Awards @karanjohar told Festival Director 'Next year I want to host the awards'! Another takeover?!"

Karan Johar's very popular chat show Koffee with Karan sort of took over Simi's Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, which was popular in the 90's. Of course, that left a sour taste in Simi’s mind.

But interestingly, Simi got all the backing from Twitteratis who didn’t have very pleasant things to say about Karan Johar.

Karan Johar was awarded the Leadership in Cinema Award at the Indian Film Festival Melbourne 2017 and also presented the Diversity Award to Grath Davis for Lion.

Karan Johar also delivered a masterclass at the festival. Mitu Bhowmick Lange, the fest's director, had said in a statement: "We are extremely honoured and glad to have Karan (Johar) be part of our festival this year. He is one of the most reputed filmmakers in India and is such a loved personality. We here in Melbourne and people of the city are looking forward for his masterclass which he will be delivering as part of the festival this year."

Coming back to Karan and Simi, let's hope they solve this matter by talking and not by blocking each other on social media.
