Netflix announces Karan Johar as the host of its dating show ‘What The Love?’; Twitterati isn’t pleased

Karan Johar’s last two mega-budget films might have tanked at the box office but that doesn’t stop him from still being one of the most sought after filmmakers in the B-town. Yesterday on the occasion of KJo’s 47th birthday, the world’s leading subscription service Netflix announced its new dating show ‘What The Love?’ which will be hosted by the ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ director.

While Karan is more than happy to join the Netflix India family, however, netizens are not that pleased by this development.

Announcing the show ‘What The Love? With Karan Johar’, the streaming giant shared the following post

This is probably not how presents work but on the occasion of his birthday we've decided to gift ourselves a dating show hosted by @karanjohar. What The Love? With Karan Johar, coming to Netflix!@BBCStudiosIndia pic.twitter.com/edK73FeDrU

Nope. A big no. Can’t think of a bad option to gift oneself

Going by the comments on Netflix’s announcement looks like the Twitterati is not at all pleased with it. KJo already hosts a quite popular show ‘Koffee With Karan’ on television, however, the show’s latest season was a bit of a dampener. Probably that’s the reason why people are looking forward to seeing him host yet another show.
