Filmmaker Karan Johar announced that he has penned a book for children inspired by his twins and his experience of parenting, only to become a subject of fresh trolling on social media.
Titled The Big Thoughts Of Little Luv, the book was announced on Instagram and Twitter with a clip by Johar, who has avoided social media amid massive trolling after the demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, which reignited the nepotism debate in the industry. Johar, who has often been accused of championing nepotism and favouritism in Bollywood, has restricted comments on his posts on Instagram since then.
“Am excited to share something special with all of you….my first picture book for kids … #thebigthoughtsoflittleLUV! Coming soon!!!! Thank you @twinklerkhanna for putting me in touch with the wonderful @chikisarkar,” wrote Johar along with a video featuring his twins Yash and Roohi, with messages about the contents of the book.
The messages revealed that the illustrative book, which will be about twins Luv and Kusha, will look at how “we impose difference between girl and boy as we raise them”.
Soon after his announcement, Johar was trolled on Twitter.
“You love your kids so much, likewise parents of Sushant and Kangana and many outsiders love their childrens unconditionally. How can you harassed and blocked their life and bully them with politics and power? I wish god bless your childrens and they don’t becomes like you,” wrote one user.
Another user shared: “Mr. Karan Johar We believe that you have not murdered Sushant But you have spread nepotism in Bollywood. You have given very poor actor and people to Bollywood. You have killed talented people by not giving them a chance and have given a chance to nontalent people.”
Johar has restricted comments on his posts on Instagram. The filmmaker is subjected to massive trolling after Sushant’s death, which reignited the nepotism debate in the industry. (IANS)
