Tamannaah Bhatia praises Karan Johar: Says he “Champions Outsiders” amid nepotism debate
Actress Tamannaah Bhatia says Karan Johar is warm, welcoming, and supportive of outsiders in Bollywood, despite constant nepotism criticism
Why She Thinks He Champions Outsiders
Actor Tamannaah has praised director Karan Johar, claiming that he even "champions people" outside of the industry. Tamannaah stated in an interview with News18 Showsha that Karan recognises the "importance of making films with very strong female characters."
Tamannaah called Karan "extremely warm and welcoming". "As a person, I think he’s extremely warm and welcoming, and he champions people who’re from the industry and those who aren’t from the industry," she said.
Tamannaah said that Karan has been consistently understanding women “for many, many years now.” “Maybe Karan has an in-depth understanding of women, but he isn’t validated enough for that. He’s a person who has consistently done that for many, many years now. Many a times, he has and continues to be the face of great causes while he enjoys being in this set-up of glamour and is his fun self. He’s a great example for how to take the responsibility of the industry that he belongs to, and he holds that very proudly."
Karan has continuously understood women "for many, many years now," according to Tamannaah. Karan may have a deep understanding of women, but his knowledge isn't sufficiently validated. He has been doing that consistently for a very long time. He has frequently served as the face of worthy causes and still does, all the while enjoying the glitz and being his playful self. He takes great pride in being a great example of how to assume responsibility for the industry he works in.
Karan’s Sharp Response to Trolls
Karan responded, "Shut up! Don't breed negativity sitting at home! Watch the work of the two kids! And do some work yourself.”
