Karan Johar blames Ajay Devgn for his broken friendship with Kajol

In his autobiography ‘An Unsuitable Boy’, Karan Johar wrote at length about his lost friendship with Kajol, which used to be heartfelt and cordial once upon a time. Karan and Kajol have collaborated for super hit projects. Even on personal front, they were one of the closest buddies. But that’s long buried under the sand of time. And as per Karan’s opinion, Kajol’s husband Ajay Devgn has only played a catalyst in quickening the process of detachment.

In the book, Karan wrote how he had more than one differences with the actress. And recently, during an interview with journalist Vir Sanghvi, he opened up once more, passing the buck on Ajay.

“He called me and shouted at me and said some really nasty things because he heard at a party that I’d said some things about his wife. I just felt that heresay cannot be the reason for anyone to pick up the phone and say unsavoury things to anyone else. You have to give me the chance to defend myself,” he said.

“He put out a statement saying there should be an investigation and she retweeted it saying ‘SHOCKING’. And that was it. I felt she should’ve not allowed her husband to say such things about me & even if he had, she shouldn’t have endorsed and thirdly she should’ve picked up the phone and called me and said sorry for that entire situation. I’d like to say & I stand by it is that this is not a phase, a feeling that will change. No matter what, she’s out of my life,” the director-producer added.

Prior to the release of Karan’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ which clashed with Ajay’s ‘Shivaay’, the latter accused Karan of feeding critic Kamaal R Khan with money to gain positive review.
