Filmmaker Karan Johar faced severe flak on Twitter recently after he purportedly “liked” an abusive tweet directed at Shah Rukh Khan. Several SRK fans started #ShameOnKaranJohar making it the Number 5 top trending on Twitter. The fans were furious at KJo, called him a fake friend to Shah and demanded that he apologise to him publicly. One Twitter user wrote, “Karan Johar a cruel snake I have ever seen.” Another wrote, “Just remove SRK's movies from cobra productions filmography and see where it actually stands.”
After the internet hate escalated, Karan Johar took to the micro-blogging website to give an explanation. He tweeted, “Guys having a technical problem with my twitter account! Strange things are going on! From uploading shoe picture and gibberish to liking tweets I haven't even read and would NEVER even acknowledge! Please bear with me and I apologise for any inconvenience! Sorting it out asap!”. The notorious tweet that he appeared to have liked compared the box office performance of Karan's production and Akshay Kumar starrer 'Kesari' with Shah Rukh's 'Zero'. It called Shah a 'B-grade star'.
In the meantime, Shah was quick to offer a defence for Karan. He wrote, “I hate clarifications on SM. @karanjohar is technologically challenged but has other good qualities like his taste in clothes!? Just like Life, twitter doesn't come with instructions, so mistakes r natural....& also he has fat fingers. Go easy all, Make Lov not War... it's more fun.”
