Filmmaker Karan Johar is now a proud father of not one, but two babies- Roohi and Yash. The news came as a wonderful surprise, as Johar cleverly managed to keep it under wraps and it only broke out almost a month after they were born. Reports say that except Gauri Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Manish Malhotra, nobody in the film fraternity had a clue that Karan was on his way to embrace fatherhood. Even people who work at Dharma Productions were left bereft of the update.
Spat with Kangana
The 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' director has recently been busy in a verbal spat with 'Queen' actress Kangana Ranaut. All hell broke loose, after her appearance on his talk show 'Koffee With Karan' where she called him a "snooty flagbearer of nepotism." Karan had later said in an interview that she was confused about the understanding of the word nepotism and if she was so "terrorised" by Bollywood, she should leave it. The statement did not go down well with Koko who came back with a harsh retort. "I can't speak for Karan Johar's understanding of nepotism. If he thinks that it is restricted nephews, daughters and cousins, I have nothing to say. But, to say that he chose not to give me work is to mock an artiste. As importantly, his memory appears to be poor because we worked together in a movie, which was produced by him."
The actress also responded to Karan's statement asking her to stop using the "woman card". "I use every card possible. At the workplace, it’s the badass card to fight cut-throat competition. With my family and loved ones, it’s the love card. When fighting the world, it’s the dignity card, and for a seat in a bus, it’s the woman card. What is important to understand is that we are not fighting people, we are fighting a mentality. I am not fighting Karan Johar, I am fighting male chauvinism," she said.
She did not stop there. "Now that Karan is the father of a little daughter, he should provide her with all these cards - the 'woman card' and the 'victim card', as also the 'self-made-independent-woman card', and the 'badass card' that I flashed on his show. We will use whatever we need to ensure no one rocks our boat."
