Karan Johar denies knowing Kshitij Prasad & Anubhav Chopra; says, “Neither of them are my ‘aides’ or ‘close aides’”

The investigation of Bollywood drugs nexus by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has intensified these days. Recently, we came across reports of employees of Dharma Productions Kshitij Prasad and Anubhav Chopra being interrogated by the NCB.

Dharma’s head honcho Karan Johar issued a statement last night and clarified the rumours about Kshitij and Anubhav being his close aides. KJo has clearly stated that neither of them is his close aides. The filmmaker also said that he or his company is not responsible for what people do in their personal lives.

Taking to his social media handle, Karan Johar clarifying about Dharma Productions’ association with Kshitij and Anubhav wrote, “I would like to further state that several media/news channels have been airing news reports that Kshitij Prasad and Anubhav Chopra are my ‘aides’/’close aides’. I would like to place on record that I don’t know these individuals personally and neither of these two individuals are ‘aides’ or ‘close aides’.”

The filmmaker went on to add, “Neither I, nor Dharma Productions can be made responsible for what people do in their personal lives. These allegations do not pertain to Dharma Productions. I wish to further state that Mr Anubhav Chopra is not an employee at Dharma Productions. He was briefly associated with us for only two months in the capacity of 2nd assistant director for a film, between November 2011 and January 2012 and as assistant director for the short film in January 2013. He has thereafter never been associated with Dharma Productions for any other project.”

“Mr Kshitij Ravi Prasad joined Dharmatic Entertainment (sister concern of Dharma Productions) in November 2019 as one of the executive producers on contract basis for a project which eventually did not materialise. However, in the past few days, the media has resorted to distasteful, distorted and false allegations. I hope the members of the media would exercise restraint else I will be left with no option but to legally protect my rights against this baseless attack on me,” read his statement.

Reportedly, NCB has seized drugs from Kshitij Prasad’s place in Mumbai. Whereas, Anubhav Chopra has been already grilled by NCB.

KJo also said that no one consumed drugs at his house party in 2019. He called all the allegations false and baseless.
