Karan Johar has said that he takes any negative comment as feedback and goes through each and every comment on the internet.
In a recent interaction, filmmaker Karan Johar opened up about his experience with online trolling and how it has affected his films. The filmmaker also discussed if the trolling has had some impact on the commercialisation of his films. Karan recently returned to direction with the commercially successful Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, which released in theatres last month.
In an interaction with Indian Express, Karan was asked how he feels when he's targetted by trolls, the director responded saying, "There's a snake emoji that comes out. I don't know why. I have no idea. It got stuck. From where I don't know. There's a snake that comes out with my name. I don't know how and when this happened." Addressing his Twitter departure, the director added, "I mean, I'm not on Twitter but that snake emoji follows me everywhere. I'm much less abused now cause who are they going to abuse. I'm not on that platform."
During the interaction, Karan admitted that he reads each and every comment online. He said, "I do put up a large amount of images of myself posing and pouting for some reason. It's me living some vicarious dream of my childhood. You should really read some of the comments. They're hilarious. They're very creative even when they're negative. I read every single comment. They say really funny; the darnest of the things I read. And I'm one of those sucker who will read it all. Like I'll read every single one of the comments." The filmmaker admitted that he reads every negative comment and takes it as constructive criticism.
The filmmaker was recently honoured for his 25 years of filmmaking at the Indian Film Festival at Melbourne. Just recently, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani became a global hit at the box office, earning over Rs 300 crores. The film is a rom-com starring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh as the leads, alongside a support cast, including Shabana Azmi, Jaya Bachchan, and Dharmendra.
