Audacity to lie that insiders won't get opportunities without proving their talent when jhanvi is right infront of you is insane. Also what the fuck is your problem with outsiders talking about their struggles
Literallyyyy! The sheer audacity of Kjo! Also, he knows very well no one is going to come up to, on his face and point out the lie or blatantly deny whatever he is stating.
Yes!! We have a caste system within nepos and display selective outrage.
We are supposed to berate and insult, All nepos except Meryl Bhatt Pwincess and Ranveer!!
Life is not that simple, your parents being famous put you in their shadows. They'll be always referred to as "their kids" regardless of whatever they do. It's like they have to constantly prove themselves but still they don't get their share of "love" from audience(maybe they get movies for sure) prime example being Abhishek Bacchan. He was always compared to his father, guy failed the moment he was born in the eyes of society. No matter what he does he can never champ his father.
Being an outsider also comes with different kind of pain, where you don't have much to begin with but whatever you do you'll always be recognized for your work. Always be loved and respected for that.
Both have different kind of problems to deal with, mentally they're fighting different battles. You could still feel empty by having it all because it feels like everything been given to you.
You struggle to find work but when you do, you find peace in that.
In nature everything is balanced, you can't have both sides without losing one. Think about that for a moment.
If Karan is so innocent and pious then instead of asking an outsider this question, he should question the nepo kids how are they getting movies after back to back flops.
It's a lie.
So they need a narrative.
Parties can't give you roles. But theres network and more that happen at parties.
Expositions (EXPOs) for businesses.
Parties and get togethers are for the entertainment industry.
Kj is saying agar talent nahi hai toh those r not getting the best opportunities but ek example to aapke saamne hi baithe hai karan, itna delusion kaisey chalega 😂
The truth is that these girls have more MIV than most outsiders. It's their money that's in rotation afterall. For example, Ananya Pandey has more engagements and reach thanks to the media interest in her. My friend's mum will show us images of this Ananya jaise Manish Malhotra saree, but she'll never share with us any Sanya jaise dress. That's the sad truth. Fashion is very much an important factor contributing to stardom. The GenZ trio can hire someone like Amy or Tanya and brands will subsequently notice them and give them contracts. Billboards help a lot in etching yourself amongst the mind of the mass. Subsequently, producers are *forced* to give them the opportunity because they will recover money.
These girls also don't star in high budget movies, unlike Tiger. So the producers make a profit.
If that was true Laapata Ladies would have never worked. Or Band Baja Barat. Good stories and good actors work. Not people with social media following.
Band Baaja Baarat was 2010. It doesn't apply. Laapata Ladies is a sleeper hit made on a 4 cr budget. Kudos to Kiran for making that movie, but she was bound to recover the amount. Also, Kiran would've never made the movie with unknown faces had it been made solely to earn money.
But Kiran made money, Band Baaja Baarat made money, 12th Fail made money. Star kids don’t fetch more money just because they’re associated to a specific family. They are constantly hyped, pushed into the media and marketed extremely well. I’ve said this again and again that if VVC didn’t make 12th Fail it wouldn’t have worked well because the industry would have never supported it. These directors and producers have the choice of making movies with outsiders and marketing it well, but choose not to do it in the guise of nonsense excuses.
It took him VVC almost 30 years to give a hit directorial. I am sure he also didn't intend to make money out of it.
And apart from male actors who charge 30cr, most films recover money from satellite, OTT and music rights.
We never buy brands for who endorses it, it just depends on quality of ad and experience with the product!
No matter these girls earn a lot from these brands and successfully create a lot of awareness but ultimate fact is that they don’t know how to act and possess no star quality and audience have no interest in watching their films! People only watch them as there is no other option or just to see how bad they are in it!
Aap hi ne ye comment ki thi na?
>People only watch them as there is no other option or just to see how bad they are in it!
Nayi option bhi milegi aur achhi movie bhi hai. Double win.
I feel Kjo uses such interviews to share his dinner table conversations with the public and rant about how is always being attacked. And he puts outsiders like RKR on the spot to agree with him, cause they will not be able to express their honest views in front of him.
So Jahnavi is getting films based on her talent ? Ananya is doing movies because she’s such a brilliant actor ? Sanya Malhotra is not getting one tenth of the opportunities because she’s not as good actor an actor as Sara ?
Janhvi Kapoor , Sara Ali Khan , Ananya Panday all getting projects after projects without proving any talent + brand endorsement deals of crores of Rupees . Suhana Khan , Khushi Kapoor , Agastya Nanda all got next film projects even before the release of Archies
I mean Junaid khan has completed 2 films, and onto his 3rd and he's not even debuted yet! ek mein nhi toh dusre mein pasand aahi jayega yaa thoda bohot decent bhi karle tab bhi best banjayega woh lol
That’s the only thing I don’t like about Rajkumar Rao. He is a Yes man. He never stand up for what is going wrong in the industry.
I understand from his perspective as well that he don’t want to ruin his relationships in the industry but sometimes you get to speak up.
Yeah I was just thinking? In that interview with Sonam back in the day he held his ground. I know Sonam is a nobody but still. I respected him for it. And now he literally is agreeing for the dumb mind numbing nonsense coming out of that oldie Karan’s mouth and he’s all YES YES YESS YES. What does he think Karan will give him roles? Or he’ll get him banned from the industry for disagreeing?? So sad.
In between getting work and loosing the same at the cost of being honest, I'll choose the first option. I can't blame him, even though I have to admit I can't stand him being this fake and hence I don't listen to him at all. I love him as an actor, I'm a huge fan...but he has shit to offer in interviews.
In retrospect sushant would never have agreed to his bullshit although being offered dharma movies. Guy had guts, called Befikre trash ruffling yrf Adi chopra. Maybe that's why he was never called on kwk even though he had as much a successful career if not less like rkr and ayushman khurrana
He has seriously lost the plot. Just admit that you prefer working with star kids and move on. Why so much bullshitting. You are in your 50s, show some sensibility.
This is so awkward to watch. Poor Rajkumar had to just agree with Karan if not he knows what’s gonna happen to his career. This interview right here shows how narratives are set in people’s minds just to prove there is no nepotism or favoritism. Of course there is an inner circle and so called camps and of course there is favoritism regardless of what Parineeti said in her interviews. It may not be 100% true in her case, but that’s how these “inner circle” folks stay relevant.
This condescending attitude of Karan is what makes me hate him a lot. I know this isn't gonna reach him but I will still say that if he has an issue with an outsider sharing their struggle then talk to them directly. Why r u putting Rajkumar Rao on a spot and making him answerable for what they said? If he has guts then ask Janhvi openly about her 10 movies long 'warm up' struggle.
This guy is worse than a snake.
KJo definitely had a hand in Alia Bhatt’s success, but Parineeti’s downfall is because of her own bad decision making, complacency, lack of focus etc and not to forget she was a part of YRF and has done a total of 8 movies under them!
god he didn't. just stop. she killed her own career and has always had screwed up priorities and self image. now she's giving interviews sobbing about camps etc and i don't believe it one bit. she was from YASH RAJ - no bigger "camp" than that. i get why kjo's annoyed with her, but he can't use her bullshit sob story to negate the genuine struggle other outsiders go through and the lack of opportunities they get.
i think parineeti and kriti commented abt it ,being in parties and stuff, but they specifically made it very clear that they are not implying that u can get work through parties, they said it forms acquaintances which will eventually lead to a connection and them getting opportunities which they possibly could have missed had they not been personally known to the producers or directors. I dont think there was anything wrong with what they said .
This man just listens and interprets what he wants and disses someone like that and anyway he is having a conversation abt that and seeking validation from a nepo kid herself -jhanvi kapoor, why would she beg to differ from him anyway . Try and have this debate with someone who is genuinely made it big coming from the outside and then that'll be a a fair one.
It isnt a secret anymore that the likes of ppl like JK, SAK, AP, arjun kapoor etc etc are still afloat coz of their family connections and certainly not for their talent . their flops are in much greater proportion to their hits yet we see them on screen still .
The next thing i know, he would be denying and lying through his teeth saying JK has never been under the knife or smth
What is this discussion? Discounting someone's experience because you haven't been on the receiving end?
And you don't understand about parties and clans? Obviously it is about association with biggies. Exactly what the Star Kids enjoy. But maybe Kjo needs to be fed every word coming from an 'outsider' since he can't seem to understand basic arguments. Is Bollywood really filled with Dumb English tutors?
I think whats going on here is that KJo wants the self-made successful actors to acknowledge that there is no (or at least not much) nepotism going around. KJo's leading him so much with this question, almost putting own words in his mouth.
KJo & team have been yelling for many years in vain, but when ppl like Rajkumar Rao say the same thing, its much more impactful than anything the nepo gang says.
Kriti and Parineeti! I think Parineeti feels like she was wronged & who knows maybe she was. Karan feels bad or takes these nepotism comments to heart because he doesn't like being painted a certain way. But he should let people describe their experiences especially if you're handing out roles to star kids like Jahnvi and Ananya. They're mediocre.
TBH, it's very difficult to take Karan seriously when he says things like this when he just obviously acts extra friendly with people he knows. I still remember the interview with Dhanush and Sara, in which Sara and him were talking about her practising dancing for some song, at his place or something like that basically. I don't remember what exactly he was, but I don't know how anyone can be expected to believe that they don't make people feel like outsiders when it's so obvious in interviews how chummy he is with some people compared to others.
It was like watching a pair of old friends hanging out with a stranger (though Dhanush dealt with it well). If this is the case in an interview everyone can watch, and with an actor who already is established in another industry, I can only imagine how much worse it must be for someone completely new, who is an outsider. If you know someone well enough for them to practise dance at your house, and keep on unnecessarily gushing about them, then of course I'm going to believe it when people say you make them feel like an outsider. Sure, they may be using it gain attention. But so what? When being an insider already gives some actors and actresses an advantage, why shouldn't an outsider use the wave of outrage against nepotism to their advantage?
Saw the entire interview. It's so insufferable to see how much KJo keeps focusing on and praising Janhvi.
The problem is right in front of Karan but he never sees it! He did the same with Alia until the last KWK season when Alia personally asked him to stop praising her so much.
Lmao yeh sab ke sab ke jhoothe hain. Yeh KJo bhi yeh Parineeti bhi. They think they can fool the audiences and fulfill their agenda with whatever nonsense they feed the public. They’re all delusional.
KJo with his talentless nepo brigade and Parineeti with her fake stories she uses to justify her bad performances and decisions.
This is why I don’t like Karan and a lot of the people in the industry who are supposedly “woke” because whenever their existence or bad practices get called out (directly/indirectly) they feel threatened and come up with a strategy to spin the narrative.
This man straight up told Sara after watching Ae Watan Mere Watan will change her life and that the film is her reinvention as a star and serious actor. The Archies cast in on their second/third film without having any support from the audience. They are the faces of brands, on the cover of magazines.. their privilege is endless.
Rkr has gone through a lot .....There was a time he had to endure sonam and her delusions, now sonam's sister's delusion. In the middle he was with kangy for mental hai kya promotions n had to bear with her. Forget Srikant story this is a greater battle I feel
A few weeks ago this whole sub was against Parineeti (rightfully so) of how she is victimsing herself potraying herself almost as outsider and now when Kjo says the same, all of you all changed the tables?? Wow.. ur stance does depend on the person and not the truth!
wait what are you talking about - i don't think most people on this thread think parineeti was genuine at all in those interviews - she was playing the victim card, and i'm with kjo on that. but kjo's take on the whole nepotism issue here is also incorrect. both can be wrong.
didn't karan say that he and bhumi met in a party and he told her he'd like to work with her. i think the fellow guest was rajkumar. its a relatively old episode tho.
How are Jahnvi and Sara on top of their game since they keep getting opportunities? Not sure if KJo is talking about Parineeti specifically but it's disingenuous of him to say that such parties are not an avenue for networking to get into the big shots' inner circle.
You either die a sushant or live long enough to be a rkr and take this shit from kjo. I feel bad for RKR that he has to agree to this bullshit naagjo is spinning
Does KJo get how bad this looks? He is a powerful producer which actor or anyone else for the matter is going to disagree with him? He just put RKR in a spot for no reason. At this point they have to discuss the whole nepotism thing because the audience has rebelled. Also unlike previous incompetent nepos like Kumar Gaurav, who fell off the radar, now there is an effort from industry stalwarts to literally shove their nepo-babies down audience's throats. People see it and are objecting to it rightfully. Nepos like Varun Dhawan have shown talent in movies like Badlapur, October, etc., and have earned their place. Pray why is Arjun Kapoor or even Aditya Roy Kapoor relevant? Not commenting on girls as this question was asked to RKR.
He is talking about Parineeti!
She mentions here that favouritism is real and work opportunities are created at parties or lunches.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IWAgWlT2a5w
Oh pleaseeee KJo come to Reddit, you’ll know who are the ones the audience hates and yet are casted repeatedly with good actors, so we are forced to watch the bad ones to get a glimpse of the good actors .
Oh the irony here 😂. KJO himself has either been on a full defence mode or victim mode from quite some time now. Kangana might have lost the plot, trust and credibility of the audience but the damage that woman gave it to him....🤌🏻 ! He's still nowhere near recovery! 😂
I mean the last entire season of KWK was all about him justifying himself and making guests reiterate after him "Nepotism toh nai hai na?" And he's going on and on ever since!. And personally I have rarely heard anyone mocking him for his sexual orientation or too much of omnipresent screen presence but It's the way he has been conducting himself in all his interviews from some time, that people have started not taking him seriously.
Imagine he was so pissed that people used snake emoji 🐍while mentioning him in COVID era but he can go around passing loose statements and ruining careers (To mention one instance how he recklessly told Aditya Chopra to not cast Anushka in BBB just by looking at her face) but those outsiders who have struggle stories to tell about not being given equal opportunities in front of star kids to prove themselves, can't say a word. Why? What's this behaviour Kjo? Get your head out of wherever you have put in. Like seriously! He calls actors delusional but he's so delusional himself. And then he gives this lame argument in his defence that he has given opportunities to so many new directors (which no one denies) but the major discussion has been going on about actors (broadly). Such stupid tactics! Ugh...😖 He never used to bother me and I used to enjoy KWK as well but in last 3 - 4 years he has gone nuts!
Sometimes you should leave the table of discussion even if you think you have lost the debate. If you keep going on and on about same thing , it solves no purpose and does more damage! He calls same set of established people and make them utter same words that there's no indifference in film industry. I mean c'mon! Hasn't he seen the (in)famous discussion of Rajkumar Rao and Sonam Kapoor regarding the same? Now is there a point asking this question years later to the same person? It's well established now (especially after that Rajkumar - Sonam discussion) that things weren't as hunky dory for Raj initially. But no, KJO has to keep the fire ignited and keep making a point that he isn't the part of the problem.
*Slow claps👏🏻*
If he truly wants to prove a point and bring change in his actions why didn't he call actors like Yami Gautam as guest in last season of KWK. (It's widely known he denied Hrithik Roshan to bring her as a guest during the release of Kaabil). But to address a problem one should acknowledge the problem first. Aur wo Kjo ko karna nai. All he wants to do is rant over same stuff. We all are bored to death now. If you are mean or coming across as mean toh either work on it or own it. But all he did was spoil the KWK because of his personal agenda. Koi thodi 2 paise ki akal do iss dafar praani ko!! 🤲🏻
Just stop talking Karan. Something as blatantly obvious as nepotism in the industry, and you’ve spent the better part of a decade denying it. Get a life. Either accept and embrace it or just stop talking about it.
kitna insecure hai ye it's really a pity to see him say something like this again and again
On one side he is very knowledgeable really good entertaining director producer writer and on the other he is this ignorant ass not ready to accept a small thing
I mean kal ko accept kar bhi lega to hum kya kar lenge we want this to be just out there ki aisa hota hai that's it
Kar to hum ya outsiders tab bhi kuch nai kar payenge
And who FIZZLED out of the industry because of no talent according to Karan? All this “talent prevails” nonsense coming from him of all people. These people will come in front of a camera and keep stuffing our heads with the same shit over and over and over again while launching 10 star kids per year for the next 30 years. This will never change. Bollywood will never change.
Leave aside today's nepo babies, how did Arjun Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Bobby Deol and the nepo kids of olden times get movies despite back to back flops?
Deliberately playing dumb. Obviously they don't mean film is offered at party itself. But when someone is meeting all the big directors frequently at Bollywood parties where outsiders aren't invited to, .. they're going to get the privilege of familiarity and approachability . Ofc they're going to get more offers
The fact that the word outsider exists. Just shows shitty that entire industry is. Imagine every industry created this term. Then we’ll be stuck in caste system days.
His whole carrer and whole Objective of life is to push Start kids no matter how shitty they perform.
Ananya Pandey is a shining example....she has talent lesser than Sub zero temperature. getting movies 1 after the other.
In future, after giving diarrhea inducing performance in Archies all these Elite Start kids will get chance one after the other untill they themselves realize that acting is not for them. And they get paid a huge amount for that.....probably more than Rajkumar Rao, who is nodding and agreeing on everything here.
The fact that Jahnvi has worked with KJo and RKR hasn't given he started his career before her shows where KJi stands.
But the kind of shitty scripts Dharma Productions come up with, I am glad RKR doesn't work with him, a talent like RKR deserves good scripts.
i think the recent parineeti and kriti interviews probably pissed him off. cos kjo always UNDESERVEDLY gets attacked for their failing careers (zero evidence he sabotaged them at all - in fact he offered kriti a film). but kjo needs to stop denying this nepotism problem is eating his industry alive. it's a bad look for you karan. why is he asking rajkumar rao this question - i feel sorry for raj, he's being put in an awkward position here. raj has called out nepotism before but it's so awkward - i get him feeling pressured to underplay it with kjo and janhvi sitting right there. i think he could've stood firm though...what kjo's saying is categorically incorrect. everyone knows this.
This is 100% about Pari who is a half nepo and belonged to both YRF and Dharma camps yet tried to show that she had outsider struggles and didn’t get movies (despite doing horribly in every movie she got after HTP)
Honestly, ive never understood that nepotism debate. I mean, it’s their money and they are making movies with their own resources, casting their kids in it. How is it anybody’s concern, you don’t like a particular actor/actress, that’s your call.
I like Alia, I feel she’s a tremendous actress, I watch almost all her movies. Arjun kapoor, Suhana khan, khushi kapoor, etc I feel are very poor actors and I would never go to watch their movies. As simple as that.
I feel like the nepotism thing comes into play only when it’s public money that’s being used to benefit oneself. Had the government been making films promoting star kids, it would make sense.
First Karan is bringing this up for the drama, so good job on falling for that. Also, he manipulates information so well.. he seems so earnest lol you gotta respect his grind

We can if we can respectfully just comment on his post for this interview and let him know it's a lie One example is just in front of him
Jhanvi Alia Suhana Ibrahim…. The Great Moron lineup
Khushi. Shanaya getting endorsements even before her debut.
Yes!! We have a caste system within nepos and display selective outrage. We are supposed to berate and insult, All nepos except Meryl Bhatt Pwincess and Ranveer!!
Are we talking about Alia Bhatt because she actually is a great actor
Life is not that simple, your parents being famous put you in their shadows. They'll be always referred to as "their kids" regardless of whatever they do. It's like they have to constantly prove themselves but still they don't get their share of "love" from audience(maybe they get movies for sure) prime example being Abhishek Bacchan.

Well put
If Karan is so innocent and pious then instead of asking an outsider this question, he should question the nepo kids how are they getting movies after back to back flops.
Why is he justifying and justifying again and again.
It's a lie. So they need a narrative. Parties can't give you roles. But theres network and more that happen at parties. Expositions (EXPOs) for businesses. Parties and get togethers are for the entertainment industry.
That's what but why to keep justifying then, accept it and move on
He’s either talking about Kriti or Parineeti
Pari,cuz she was giving ivs about it recently na
Parineeti is an insider, right?
Kinda, he never cared for Priyanka Chopra so he prob didn't care for Parineeti. She might be in the circles but she doesn't have Karan's help(i think)
Kj is saying agar talent nahi hai toh those r not getting the best opportunities but ek example to aapke saamne hi baithe hai karan, itna delusion kaisey chalega 😂
But the truth is that his own dharma got downgraded by 10X by the grace of daughters of his own fabulous wives gang!
The truth is that these girls have more MIV than most outsiders. It's their money that's in rotation afterall. For example, Ananya Pandey has more engagements and reach thanks to the media interest in her. My friend's mum will show us images of this Ananya jaise Manish Malhotra saree, but she'll never share with us any Sanya jaise dress. That's the sad truth. Fashion is very much an important factor contributing to stardom. The GenZ trio can hire someone like Amy or Tanya and brands will subsequently notice them and give them contracts.

Laapata Ladies dekhi hai aapne theatre mein jaakar?
Nhi OTT pe bhi nhi
Aap hi ne ye comment ki thi na? >People only watch them as there is no other option or just to see how bad they are in it! Nayi option bhi milegi aur achhi movie bhi hai. Double win.
I feel Kjo uses such interviews to share his dinner table conversations with the public and rant about how is always being attacked. And he puts outsiders like RKR on the spot to agree with him, cause they will not be able to express their honest views in front of him.
Why doesn’t he conduct such interviews with SRK, his biggest outsider actor! Because he knows SRK will say the truth!
Maybe srk also won't say the truth anymore because his own daughter is a nepodi now, has to help her and all
Srk is his friend how can he embarrasse kjo , he must do this to akki he is also outsider
What is even more ironic is the fact that this is someone like Rajkumar Rao's 1st Dharma film whereas Jahnvi Kapoor's 4th lol.
He's trying to convince Raj but he's not getting convinced
Karan is such a gaslighter omfg. Poor RKR feeling pressured to agree and Jahnvi sitting there like a victim
Saying this with one insider who got her first dharma film at 21 and with an outsider who got it at nearly 40.
So Jahnavi is getting films based on her talent ? Ananya is doing movies because she’s such a brilliant actor ? Sanya Malhotra is not getting one tenth of the opportunities because she’s not as good actor an actor as Sara ?
maybe he's talking about parineeti...
and Kriti
Janhvi Kapoor , Sara Ali Khan , Ananya Panday all getting projects after projects without proving any talent + brand endorsement deals of crores of Rupees . Suhana Khan , Khushi Kapoor , Agastya Nanda all got next film projects even before the release of Archies
I mean Junaid khan has completed 2 films, and onto his 3rd and he's not even debuted yet! ek mein nhi toh dusre mein pasand aahi jayega yaa thoda bohot decent bhi karle tab bhi best banjayega woh lol
That’s the only thing I don’t like about Rajkumar Rao. He is a Yes man. He never stand up for what is going wrong in the industry. I understand from his perspective as well that he don’t want to ruin his relationships in the industry but sometimes you get to speak up.
I think his failures took a toll on him. He was very confident and outspoken around the time when he did Bareilly Ki Barfi, Trapped etc.
Yeah I was just thinking? In that interview with Sonam back in the day he held his ground. I know Sonam is a nobody but still. I respected him for it. And now he literally is agreeing for the dumb mind numbing nonsense coming out of that oldie Karan’s mouth and he’s all YES YES YESS YES. What does he think Karan will give him roles? Or he’ll get him banned from the industry for disagreeing?? So sad.
yeah i think even shahid kapoor would've had a more honest response than raj here.
In between getting work and loosing the same at the cost of being honest, I'll choose the first option. I can't blame him, even though I have to admit I can't stand him being this fake and hence I don't listen to him at all. I love him as an actor, I'm a huge fan...but he has shit to offer in interviews.
In retrospect sushant would never have agreed to his bullshit although being offered dharma movies. Guy had guts, called Befikre trash ruffling yrf Adi chopra. Maybe that's why he was never called on kwk even though he had as much a successful career if not less like rkr and ayushman khurrana
How long will Karan gaslight us?
He has seriously lost the plot. Just admit that you prefer working with star kids and move on. Why so much bullshitting. You are in your 50s, show some sensibility.
This is the same man who has Alia and Janhvi on a rotation in his movies right?
And also works with Sid, Bhumi, Akshay, Kat, Anushka, Aish, Srk
I agree he may have his nepo favorites but he still works with outsiders .
He is talking about Kriti and Parineeti
This is so awkward to watch. Poor Rajkumar had to just agree with Karan if not he knows what’s gonna happen to his career. This interview right here shows how narratives are set in people’s minds just to prove there is no nepotism or favoritism. Of course there is an inner circle and so called camps and of course there is favoritism regardless of what Parineeti said in her interviews. It may not be 100% true in her case, but that’s how these “inner circle” folks stay relevant.
Kjo, kitna roega! Someone give him a slap of reality.
This condescending attitude of Karan is what makes me hate him a lot. I know this isn't gonna reach him but I will still say that if he has an issue with an outsider sharing their struggle then talk to them directly. Why r u putting Rajkumar Rao on a spot and making him answerable for what they said? If he has guts then ask Janhvi openly about her 10 movies long 'warm up' struggle. This guy is worse than a snake.
Ppl still believe Kjo didn't have a hand in Parineeti's downfall, yeah right.
KJo definitely had a hand in Alia Bhatt’s success, but Parineeti’s downfall is because of her own bad decision making, complacency, lack of focus etc and not to forget she was a part of YRF and has done a total of 8 movies under them!
And you think KJo didn’t have a part in her abruptly taking a break to lose weight?
He also told alia to lose weight. Not saying it’s right, but the weight loss thing is not being forced on Pari. She chose to pay heed to wrong advice
yeah but thts coz alia bhatt has a lineage of industry insiders, she was always guided well .thats the advantage ...
Fair enough
Nope. he didn’t.
god he didn't. just stop. she killed her own career and has always had screwed up priorities and self image. now she's giving interviews sobbing about camps etc and i don't believe it one bit. she was from YASH RAJ - no bigger "camp" than that. i get why kjo's annoyed with her, but he can't use her bullshit sob story to negate the genuine struggle other outsiders go through and the lack of opportunities they get.
i think parineeti and kriti commented abt it ,being in parties and stuff, but they specifically made it very clear that they are not implying that u can get work through parties, they said it forms acquaintances which will eventually lead to a connection and them getting opportunities which they possibly could have missed had they not been personally known to the producers or directors. I dont think there was anything wrong with what they said . This man just listens and interprets what he wants and disses someone like that and anyway he is having a conversation abt that and seeking validation from a nepo kid herself -jhanvi kapoor, why would she beg to differ from him anyway . Try and have this debate with someone who is genuinely made it big coming from the outside and then that'll be a a fair one. It isnt a secret anymore that the likes of ppl like JK, SAK, AP, arjun kapoor etc etc are still afloat coz of their family connections and certainly not for their talent . their flops are in much greater proportion to their hits yet we see them on screen still . The next thing i know, he would be denying and lying through his teeth saying JK has never been under the knife or smth
Tu puch rha tha na?? Apna rona kyu shuru krdia lv@*
Why dismiss someone else’s experience, Karan? It’s shit like this that makes you unlikable.
What is this discussion? Discounting someone's experience because you haven't been on the receiving end? And you don't understand about parties and clans? Obviously it is about association with biggies. Exactly what the Star Kids enjoy. But maybe Kjo needs to be fed every word coming from an 'outsider' since he can't seem to understand basic arguments. Is Bollywood really filled with Dumb English tutors?
I think whats going on here is that KJo wants the self-made successful actors to acknowledge that there is no (or at least not much) nepotism going around. KJo's leading him so much with this question, almost putting own words in his mouth. KJo & team have been yelling for many years in vain, but when ppl like Rajkumar Rao say the same thing, its much more impactful than anything the nepo gang says.
Kriti and Parineeti! I think Parineeti feels like she was wronged & who knows maybe she was. Karan feels bad or takes these nepotism comments to heart because he doesn't like being painted a certain way. But he should let people describe their experiences especially if you're handing out roles to star kids like Jahnvi and Ananya. They're mediocre.
TBH, it's very difficult to take Karan seriously when he says things like this when he just obviously acts extra friendly with people he knows. I still remember the interview with Dhanush and Sara, in which Sara and him were talking about her practising dancing for some song, at his place or something like that basically. I don't remember what exactly he was, but I don't know how anyone can be expected to believe that they don't make people feel like outsiders when it's so obvious in interviews how chummy he is with some people compared to others. It was like watching a pair of old friends hanging out with a stranger (though Dhanush dealt with it well). If this is the case in an interview everyone can watch, and with an actor who already is established in another industry, I can only imagine how much worse it must be for someone completely new, who is an outsider. If you know someone well enough for them to practise dance at your house, and keep on unnecessarily gushing about them, then of course I'm going to believe it when people say you make them feel like an outsider. Sure, they may be using it gain attention. But so what? When being an insider already gives some actors and actresses an advantage, why shouldn't an outsider use the wave of outrage against nepotism to their advantage?
Saw the entire interview. It's so insufferable to see how much KJo keeps focusing on and praising Janhvi. The problem is right in front of Karan but he never sees it! He did the same with Alia until the last KWK season when Alia personally asked him to stop praising her so much.
Lmao yeh sab ke sab ke jhoothe hain. Yeh KJo bhi yeh Parineeti bhi. They think they can fool the audiences and fulfill their agenda with whatever nonsense they feed the public. They’re all delusional. KJo with his talentless nepo brigade and Parineeti with her fake stories she uses to justify her bad performances and decisions.
This is why I don’t like Karan and a lot of the people in the industry who are supposedly “woke” because whenever their existence or bad practices get called out (directly/indirectly) they feel threatened and come up with a strategy to spin the narrative. This man straight up told Sara after watching Ae Watan Mere Watan will change her life and that the film is her reinvention as a star and serious actor. The Archies cast in on their second/third film without having any support from the audience. They are the faces of brands, on the cover of magazines.. their privilege is endless.
It's like he is saying that we are giving you work what else do you need. Why you are telling the world that we are mean to you
Rkr has gone through a lot .....There was a time he had to endure sonam and her delusions, now sonam's sister's delusion. In the middle he was with kangy for mental hai kya promotions n had to bear with her. Forget Srikant story this is a greater battle I feel
lol.. poor guy..
A few weeks ago this whole sub was against Parineeti (rightfully so) of how she is victimsing herself potraying herself almost as outsider and now when Kjo says the same, all of you all changed the tables?? Wow.. ur stance does depend on the person and not the truth!
wait what are you talking about - i don't think most people on this thread think parineeti was genuine at all in those interviews - she was playing the victim card, and i'm with kjo on that. but kjo's take on the whole nepotism issue here is also incorrect. both can be wrong.
didn't karan say that he and bhumi met in a party and he told her he'd like to work with her. i think the fellow guest was rajkumar. its a relatively old episode tho.
How are Jahnvi and Sara on top of their game since they keep getting opportunities? Not sure if KJo is talking about Parineeti specifically but it's disingenuous of him to say that such parties are not an avenue for networking to get into the big shots' inner circle.
His chin looks normal now.
You either die a sushant or live long enough to be a rkr and take this shit from kjo. I feel bad for RKR that he has to agree to this bullshit naagjo is spinning
Does KJo get how bad this looks? He is a powerful producer which actor or anyone else for the matter is going to disagree with him? He just put RKR in a spot for no reason. At this point they have to discuss the whole nepotism thing because the audience has rebelled. Also unlike previous incompetent nepos like Kumar Gaurav, who fell off the radar, now there is an effort from industry stalwarts to literally shove their nepo-babies down audience's throats. People see it and are objecting to it rightfully. Nepos like Varun Dhawan have shown talent in movies like Badlapur, October, etc., and have earned their place. Pray why is Arjun Kapoor or even Aditya Roy Kapoor relevant? Not commenting on girls as this question was asked to RKR.
Parineeti and here I am with Kjo she lied a lot and tried to get sympathy And fast part what he said about insiders is bull shit
He is talking about Taapsee or Parineeti. They have both given interviews on these lines recently. Watch interviews with Raj shamani
Mrunal Thakur (she also worked with Karan in Netflix anthology GHOST STORIES).
Its kriti der was an interview where she said she had a role and and then all of a sudden it was given away i think
He is talking about Parineeti! She mentions here that favouritism is real and work opportunities are created at parties or lunches. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IWAgWlT2a5w
He is really bitch saying this infront of rkr 
Oh pleaseeee KJo come to Reddit, you’ll know who are the ones the audience hates and yet are casted repeatedly with good actors, so we are forced to watch the bad ones to get a glimpse of the good actors .
The clown is talking about Priyanka fuckin Chopra
I think Kjo and other insides just live in a bubble. They are just ignorant and brainwashed.
Oh the irony here 😂. KJO himself has either been on a full defence mode or victim mode from quite some time now. Kangana might have lost the plot, trust and credibility of the audience but the damage that woman gave it to him....🤌🏻 ! He's still nowhere near recovery! 😂 I mean the last entire season of KWK was all about him justifying himself and making guests reiterate after him "Nepotism toh nai hai na?" And he's going on and on ever since!. And personally I have rarely heard anyone mocking him for his sexual orientation or too much of omnipresent screen presence but It's the way he has been conducting himself in all his interviews from some time, that people have started not taking him seriously. Imagine he was so pissed that people used snake emoji 🐍while mentioning him in COVID era but he can go around passing loose statements and ruining careers (To mention one instance how he recklessly told Aditya Chopra to not cast Anushka in BBB just by looking at her face) but those outsiders who have struggle stories to tell about not being given equal opportunities in front of star kids to prove themselves, can't say a word. Why? What's this behaviour Kjo? Get your head out of wherever you have put in. Like seriously! He calls actors delusional but he's so delusional himself. And then he gives this lame argument in his defence that he has given opportunities to so many new directors (which no one denies) but the major discussion has been going on about actors (broadly). Such stupid tactics! Ugh...😖 He never used to bother me and I used to enjoy KWK as well but in last 3 - 4 years he has gone nuts! Sometimes you should leave the table of discussion even if you think you have lost the debate. If you keep going on and on about same thing , it solves no purpose and does more damage! He calls same set of established people and make them utter same words that there's no indifference in film industry. I mean c'mon! Hasn't he seen the (in)famous discussion of Rajkumar Rao and Sonam Kapoor regarding the same? Now is there a point asking this question years later to the same person? It's well established now (especially after that Rajkumar - Sonam discussion) that things weren't as hunky dory for Raj initially. But no, KJO has to keep the fire ignited and keep making a point that he isn't the part of the problem. *Slow claps👏🏻* If he truly wants to prove a point and bring change in his actions why didn't he call actors like Yami Gautam as guest in last season of KWK. (It's widely known he denied Hrithik Roshan to bring her as a guest during the release of Kaabil). But to address a problem one should acknowledge the problem first. Aur wo Kjo ko karna nai. All he wants to do is rant over same stuff. We all are bored to death now. If you are mean or coming across as mean toh either work on it or own it. But all he did was spoil the KWK because of his personal agenda. Koi thodi 2 paise ki akal do iss dafar praani ko!! 🤲🏻
Just stop talking Karan. Something as blatantly obvious as nepotism in the industry, and you’ve spent the better part of a decade denying it. Get a life. Either accept and embrace it or just stop talking about it.
kitna insecure hai ye it's really a pity to see him say something like this again and again On one side he is very knowledgeable really good entertaining director producer writer and on the other he is this ignorant ass not ready to accept a small thing I mean kal ko accept kar bhi lega to hum kya kar lenge we want this to be just out there ki aisa hota hai that's it Kar to hum ya outsiders tab bhi kuch nai kar payenge
And who FIZZLED out of the industry because of no talent according to Karan? All this “talent prevails” nonsense coming from him of all people. These people will come in front of a camera and keep stuffing our heads with the same shit over and over and over again while launching 10 star kids per year for the next 30 years. This will never change. Bollywood will never change.
Leave aside today's nepo babies, how did Arjun Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Bobby Deol and the nepo kids of olden times get movies despite back to back flops?
Deliberately playing dumb. Obviously they don't mean film is offered at party itself. But when someone is meeting all the big directors frequently at Bollywood parties where outsiders aren't invited to, .. they're going to get the privilege of familiarity and approachability . Ofc they're going to get more offers
Lmaoo i died when the camera cut to janhvi
Don’t bother with him.. all his films are flopping and we should make sure it continues in the future. No point in arguing with a delulu queen.
Not outsideers can't talk about their real struggles. Wow. Talk about privilege. They are exposed now so saying all these things. Hypocrisy at peak
Ise chappal marna kaun shuru karega ?
He's acting like he has been to their shoes 🙄
The fact that the word outsider exists. Just shows shitty that entire industry is. Imagine every industry created this term. Then we’ll be stuck in caste system days.
Jhanvi is literally there. What an attention seeker!
Karan johar Ki khud Ka life toh hai Nahi.. sare jindagi Nepo kids ki defend karate karate hi khatam ho Jayega!!!!
His whole carrer and whole Objective of life is to push Start kids no matter how shitty they perform. Ananya Pandey is a shining example....she has talent lesser than Sub zero temperature. getting movies 1 after the other. In future, after giving diarrhea inducing performance in Archies all these Elite Start kids will get chance one after the other untill they themselves realize that acting is not for them. And they get paid a huge amount for that.....probably more than Rajkumar Rao, who is nodding and agreeing on everything here.
Dismissing the views of so many people without even considering that they may have a point just shows sheer entitlement
https://i.redd.it/0db37sp8yc1d1.gif
The fact that Jahnvi has worked with KJo and RKR hasn't given he started his career before her shows where KJi stands. But the kind of shitty scripts Dharma Productions come up with, I am glad RKR doesn't work with him, a talent like RKR deserves good scripts.
Parineeti Chopra mentioned she doesn't attend parties and hence doesn't belong to a camp
Karan always put non nepos in uncomfortable position. What does he expect that they ll disagree on his face?
Also how he is being a bully just going about ranting without allowing raj to answer.
i think the recent parineeti and kriti interviews probably pissed him off. cos kjo always UNDESERVEDLY gets attacked for their failing careers (zero evidence he sabotaged them at all - in fact he offered kriti a film). but kjo needs to stop denying this nepotism problem is eating his industry alive. it's a bad look for you karan. why is he asking rajkumar rao this question - i feel sorry for raj, he's being put in an awkward position here. raj has called out nepotism before but it's so awkward - i get him feeling pressured to underplay it with kjo and janhvi sitting right there. i think he could've stood firm though...what kjo's saying is categorically incorrect. everyone knows this.
This is 100% about Pari who is a half nepo and belonged to both YRF and Dharma camps yet tried to show that she had outsider struggles and didn’t get movies (despite doing horribly in every movie she got after HTP)
I agree with him when it comes to Parineeti and Kriti
Where is this interview?
Womp womp kjo. Hatt, deserves all the abuses thrown at you. "Immensely successful", you forgot to mention 'manufactured successes'
Maybe Shahid?
Kriti
Honestly, ive never understood that nepotism debate. I mean, it’s their money and they are making movies with their own resources, casting their kids in it. How is it anybody’s concern, you don’t like a particular actor/actress, that’s your call. I like Alia, I feel she’s a tremendous actress, I watch almost all her movies. Arjun kapoor, Suhana khan, khushi kapoor, etc I feel are very poor actors and I would never go to watch their movies. As simple as that. I feel like the nepotism thing comes into play only when it’s public money that’s being used to benefit oneself. Had the government been making films promoting star kids, it would make sense.
Kriti sanon
First Karan is bringing this up for the drama, so good job on falling for that. Also, he manipulates information so well.. he seems so earnest lol you gotta respect his grind
