The latest episode of Koffee With Karan season 7 has upset fans. And surprisingly, it has nothing to do with the guests. Heropanti stars Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon graced the Koffee couch together and they won our hearts with their sweetness, humble attitude and honest answers. However, Karan Johar’s certain statements have not been well-received by the audience. In the episode, he kept hyping Alia Bhatt and called her ‘the best actress’ of Bollywood in today’s time. He subtly kept praising Alia and her films like Gangubai Kathiawadi. While Kriti maturely handled it all, netizens are pissed at Karan Johar as he was seen doing the same thing in previous episodes as well. Twitter users are calling out the filmmaker for the same. Check out a few tweets:
“Someone go and tell #KaranJohar that #AliaBhatt is not the best actress, she is just average tbh and a larger section of audience believes it..”
“Nepotism is OK, but Nepotism+Favoritism+Gangism is lethal. Watch hw #KaranJohar (in a subtle manner) deems #KritiSanon as an okay actress n positions Alia as d best actress India has. He’s also putting words in Kriti’s mouth by mentioning #GanguBai”
“Looks like @karanjohar and @aliaa08 had a deal that #Karanjohar will chant #AliaBhatt’s name in every #KoffeeWithKaran7 episode so that she can stay relevant and in the news during her pregnancy and by the time season is over she will be back to movies already! A PR stunt may be?”
“Literally him in every conversation in Koffee With Karan!”
“The way #KritiSanon handled #KaranJohar’s mean remarks in the episode was fab. She clearly said given the right opportunities everyone is capable of shining better than his so called fav stars. I loved Kriti.More power to you @kritisanon.”
“Karan Johar shoving #AliaBhatt down our throats and bringing more hate towards her! The way he brought her up was so forced not even organic”
“Here’s papa #KaranJohar who always keeps degrading one’s hard work by putting his nepo child #AliaBhatt superior in all extent & subtly ignoring everyone’s journey of struggle fr success,If shamelessness would be a brand he’s the brand ambassador. KritiSanon you’re the rockstar”
Karan Johar launched Alia Bhatt with Student Of The Year. Over the years, they collaborated for several films like Kalank, Kapoor And Sons etc. Karan has recently wrapped up shooting with Alia Bhatt for the upcoming rom-com titled Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.
