Recently Karan Johar is been targeted on social media for Sushant Singh’s suicide. He is also been less active in social media these days which is quite understood. The director and producer was at the receiving end of trolls who blamed him for being the father of nepotism. The nepotism debate has turned more verbally violent this time. Karan Johar was even quick in unfollowing all his industry friends on Twitter and today, he merely has two big names in his list of “following”. Now according to Pinkvilla, the online lynching has affected him so much so that he has decided to exit from the MAMI Board.
The report states, the director and producer has already resigned from the board of the MAMI film festival. The report further states, he’s not even thinking twice about his decision and has already mailed his resignation letter to the festival’s artistic director Smriti Kiran. The filmmaker is apparently unhappy that none of his fraternity members stood by him in this nepotism debate and hence took the decision to distance himself from the prestigious film festival.
Deepika Padukone is the chairperson for the MAMI film festival and the same report stated, she tried to convince him to rethink his decision. However, her attempts went in vain as Karan was very firm on his part. Besides him, the other board members include Zoya Akhtar, Kabir Khan, Siddharth Roy Kapur, Vikramaditya Motwane and Rohan Sippy.
