Filmmaker Karan Johar recently addressed the controversial topic of nepotism once again, but this time he took a more light-hearted approach. In a video shared on his Instagram, he featured Zarna Garg, an Indian-American stand-up comedian who is currently in India for her show titled "Practical People Win."
The clip shows Karan and Zarna engaging in a lively discussion about the aspirations of Indian children in the past. Zarna, whose comedic style is heavily influenced by her experiences as an Indian immigrant mom in America, points out that in the past, children would aspire to become doctors or accountants. However, now, thanks to Karan, they are more likely to aspire to become actors.
Zarna playfully refers to Karan as her "nemesis," and when she prompts him for a response, he is momentarily speechless. Eventually, he expresses his love for her and gives her a hug. Zarna then hilariously tells him that they "don't use the 'L' word around here," leaving Karan in fits of laughter.
In his caption, Karan wrote about Zarna's "TOTD" (thought of the day) and how he was rarely speechless but decided to maintain an "undignified silence" on this topic. He also made a playful reference to the fact that Zarna doesn't use the "L" word and he stays away from the "N" word, making them a "match made in digital heaven."
The topic of nepotism gained widespread attention in 2017 when actress Kangana Ranaut called Karan the "flag-bearer of nepotism" on his talk show, "Koffee With Karan." Karan's post and video with Zarna show that he is able to laugh at himself and the controversy surrounding him, and that he is willing to address it in a lighthearted manner.
