Karan Johar found himself in the center of controversy when cricketers Hardik Pandya and K L Rahul made some controversial statements on his popular show ‘Koffee With Karan 6’.  The episode was highly criticized by the netizens for sexist and below the belt remarks of Hardik. Even Karan was blamed by the viewers for laughing at their remarks. The cricketers soon faced the consequences of their comments as BCCI took action against them. Now the filmmaker has opened up on the controversy.

KJo recently appeared on Arbaaz Khan’s show ‘Pinch’ and said that the boys have already been punished and he hopes that their punishment has ended now. Also, he feels they have been given a second chance in their careers.

He further added that they are both talented and exceptional forces in the world of cricket. He believes that they have paid their price for what they said and further added that he feels fully responsible and burdened about whatever happened. He concluded that the show doesn’t matter, their career matters!

Karan also spoke about his sexuality on the show and said that he does not bother anymore whoever comments ill about it on his social media platform. The only thing he feels bad about is when they involve his children.
