Karan Johar upset with comedian's mimicry of him 'in exceptionally poor taste': Is he talking about this show?

Karan Johar said that he expects such mimicry from “faceless and nameless people”. He added that this doesn't anger him, it “just makes me sad”.

Filmmaker Karan Johar has criticised a comedy show's portrayal of him, saying it is in "exceptionally poor taste". Taking to his Instagram Stories on Sunday night, he talked about the disrespect from "your own industry". He recounted the experience while he was watching television with his mother.

Karan Johar wrote, "I was sitting and watching television with my mom... and saw a promo of a reality comedy show on a supposedly respectable channel ... a comic was mimicking me in exceptionally poor taste..."

"I expect this from trolls and faceless and nameless people but when your own industry can disrespect someone who has been in the business for over 25 years it speaks volumes about the times we live in... this doesn't even anger me it just makes me sad!" he further wrote.

Though Karan Johar didn't name the show or the channel, several internet users pointed towards a promo recently shared by Sony Entertainment Television. It is from the comedy show Madness Machayenge India Ko Hasayenge. The promo is from a recent episode in which a person mimicked the filmmaker and his chat show Koffee With Karan by calling it Toffee with Churan. The show airs Saturday and Sunday at 9.30 pm on Sony Entertainment Television.
