Filmmaker Karan Johar has made his first public appearance since facing a massive social media backlash over his controversial comments on physical infidelity. The director was recently spotted at Mumbai airport, sporting a stylish yet comfortable look with khaki cargo-style pants, a matching jacket, sneakers, sunglasses, and a tan bag. He posed for photographers before heading inside, signaling his return to the public eye.
The controversy stems from Karan’s recent appearance on Kajol and Twinkle Khanna’s show, Two Much, alongside Janhvi Kapoor. During a segment where the stars were asked to choose between two options, the question arose: “Emotional cheating is worse than physical cheating?” Karan, along with Twinkle and Kajol, expressed that physical cheating was not a dealbreaker in relationships. Karan explained, “Thand lag jaati hai kabhi kabhi,” while Twinkle added, “Raat gayi, baat gayi.” Janhvi, however, strongly disagreed, insisting, “No, the deal is broken,” and pointing out that infidelity cannot be brushed off lightly. The exchange quickly went viral, with social media users criticizing the senior stars for seemingly normalizing cheating. Many voiced support for Janhvi’s stance, while Karan, Twinkle, and Kajol were heavily trolled.
Amid the controversy, Karan Johar remains active professionally. He is currently seen as one of the “permanent angels” on Pitch To Get Rich, streaming on JioHotstar. The show focuses on fashion-related businesses pitching their ideas to a panel of experts, which also includes Malaika Arora, Manish Malhotra, and entrepreneurs Darpan Sanghvi and Dhruv Sharma. Karan’s role involves evaluating and funding innovative business proposals, showcasing his expertise beyond filmmaking.
While the infidelity debate continues to trend online, Karan Johar seems focused on his professional commitments, balancing the public scrutiny with his work on entrepreneurial reality television.
