A few days back, when the news about Karan Johar’s sequel to ‘Dostana‘ surfaced, fans across the country couldn’t stop their happy tears. Moreover, the casting of ‘Dostana 2’ too left the internet into a frenzy. However, the filmmaker soon took to his Twitter handle, rubbishing the rumours surrounding Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor being roped in for ‘Dostana 2’.
He had tweeted, “Hello!!! All news circulating about DOSTANA 2 is untrue!!! Lots of speculation which is entirely baseless!!!”

Soon after he brushed off the rumours as baseless, a fan accused Karan Johar of promoting nepotism by launching star kids in the industry, saying “Karan Johar can win the Gold medal in launching Start Kids. #Dostana2 #nepotism #KaranJohar.”
Have a look at the fan’s tweet here:
Karan Johar can win Gold medal in launching Start Kids…….

Karan hit back at the troll in the sassiest way possible. He replied, “And you will win the Bronze for Bullshit!”

We do second Karan’s words, as the man out there accused Johar when he had clearly mentioned that the rumours about ‘Dostana 2’ were not true. Although, this isn’t the first time when the filmmaker has been accused of the same. The debate surrounding ‘nepotism’ gained momentum after Kangana Ranaut called out Karan as the flag bearer of nepotism on his own chat show. Thereafter, the film fraternity remains divided on this issue.
