It is no secret that Sushant Singh Rajput’s death has affected Karan Johar as he has been brutally trolled online in the name of nepotism. Karan has been constantly facing the wrath of the netizens. Recently, Karan’s close friend revealed that he is a ‘broken man’ because of this incident.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Karan’s close friend revealed, “Karan is a broken man. After being trolled for years he thought he had developed a thick skin. But the brutal hatred that he has received after Sushant’s death has left him shattered.”

Speaking about what affected Karan the most, his friend said, “It’s the fact that those close to him are being attacked that makes Karan feel really guilty. His 3-year old twins are getting death threats. Somebody like Ananya Pandey who has no connection with Sushant, had a hater on the social media platform asking her to commit suicide to compensate for Sushant’s death.”

Karan’s friend also revealed that on his lawyers’ orders, the filmmaker will not come out to talk about it or release a statement. “Better to keep mum. Karan is in no condition to speak. The fight has gone out of him. He looks like a man beaten by fate. It’s not a pleasant experience to speak to Karan. He breaks down and cries when we call him. He is constantly crying and asking what he has done to deserve this,” the friend told the portal.

Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide at his Bandra apartment on June 14. He was said to be suffering from clinical depression.
