It seems that Karan Johar is (yet again) in the eye of a storm. What had happened was that, earlier this week, the renowned film editor-screenwriter Apurva Asrani took to social media and posted a clip with Karan Johar making a honest confession about him wanting to completely murder Anushka Sharma’s career. This incident had taken place in the year 2016 at the MAMI Mumbai Film Festival. Karan Johar was in conversation with Rajeev Masand and Anupama Chopra. It was during this interaction, Karan Johar held the mc and said, “I totally wanted to, completely murder Anushka Sharma's career. Because when Aditya Chopra showed me her image, I was like, ‘no, no, mad or what, you signing her, you crazy! There is no need for you to sign this Anushka Sharma'. There was another lead actress at that time who I wanted Adi to sign and I was totally behind the scene sabotaging her completely. The movie also I was reluctantly watching Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. But, when I watched Band Baaja Baaraat, I felt like I owed her an apology and compliment. Apology because I felt so embarrassed that I would have ruined the graph of an exceptional talent."
