An old video which is going viral features Karan Johar as he is talking about his attempt to “sabotage” Anushka Sharma’s career. In the video, he can be heard saying that he “wanted to murder” her career before her Bollywood debut Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. The comments were made in jest but have further ignited the nepo debate.
The video, which has resurfaced, is from the 18th MAMI Mumbai Film Festival in 2016. He attended the festival with the actress for the promotion of his film ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.’ Speaking to Rajeev Masand and Anupama Chopra, KJo can be heard saying, “I completely wanted to murder Anushka Sharma’s career because when Aditya Chopra showed me her picture, I was like ‘no no, you don’t need to sign Anushka Sharma. There was another lead actor whom I wanted Adi to sign.”
The video has further added spark to the nepotism and the insider-outsider debate of Bollywood. Since being uploaded, the video has garnered over 195K views. “I totally wanted to murder Anushka Sharma’s career’ – Karan Johar confesses to Rajeev Masand & Anupama Chopra in 2016. Said in jest, I’m sure, but still a worthy point in the raging insider-outsider debate,” read the caption. Have a look:

“The worst part… The feminist that Anushka Sharma claims she is, is laughing along… Maybe to not upset the biggie… I guess this was during the release of AE dil hai mushkil,” wrote a Twitter user. Another person mentioned, “Acting talent is literally last on the list of Bollywood. How can he be the leading producer director in India who dismisses actors solely on the basis of how they look..?”
Another person wrote, “Even in jest this sounds vicious and unprofessional. Why would you want to ‘murder’ someone’s career. If she was bad, she would fail. Why Karan would think it is his duty to murder someone’s career is mindboggling. It’s started making after the debate that SSR’s passing started.”
trying to sabotage someone's career just cause he doesn't like that person must be a crime. who knows what else he did. nasty tbh. https://t.co/kdqTZ9h1IH— ???? (@heerbadnaam) April 6, 2023

Big question is, how many careers has he "actually" murdered only because he didn't "like" the person https://t.co/uF7WJ1zge4— Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj (@DeepikaBhardwaj) April 6, 2023
I guess problem in Bollywood these days is not #Nepotism , The problem is just one insecure, lonely & insecure man #KaranJohar
Be it Sushant, Priyanka,Kangana, Anushka Or Taapsee ; He always look down upon outsiders & creates a politically dirty & toxic environment for them. https://t.co/ANLTg2DRKL
