Karan Johar Breaks Silence After 2 Months to Wish Happy Independence Day on Instagram

The filmmaker had quit social media in the face of heavy trolling after the death of Sushant reignited the nepotism debate in the industry. Karan and Janhvi were among several Bollywood stars from film families who were brutally targeted online.

On June 14, after the news of Sushant’s death broke, Karan had posted, “I blame myself for not being in touch with you for the past year….. I have felt at times like you may have needed people to share your life with…but somehow I never followed up on that feeling…will never make that mistake again…we live in very energetic and noisy but still very isolated times …some of us succumb to these silences and go within…we need to not just make relationships but also constantly nurture them….Sushants unfortunate demise has been a huge wake up call to me …to my level of compassion and to my ability to foster and protect my equations…..I hope this resonates with all of you as well….will miss your infectious smile and your bear hug…”
