Why is Karan Johar seeking an apology from Alia Bhatt?

Karan Johar has been that one filmmaker in Bollywood who has an eye for talent. Take for e.g. Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt. He launched them into the world of movies and they have succeeded in making a name for themselves.

Karan Johar recently turned RJ spoke about weight issues and body shaming on his show. He said, “I asked Alia to lose weight and now, when I see her hysterical about how she looks, I feel responsible. She’s in the gym every day and even if she puts on an extra kilo, she goes crazy. I think I am to blame for it. Now that I am a parent, I would never do this to Roohi and I would like to apologise to Alia.”

Karan said that Alia was “pleasantly plump” when she entered the industry. He also said that Bollywood tries to emulate the West. Karan said, “If they’re thin, sexy and wear satin gowns on the red carpet, we want to do the same.”

When questioned about who has the best bod in Bollywood? He said that Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif have the best bodies in the industry.

On the work front we will see Karan judging a reality show with hot-shot director Rohit Shetty, called India’s Next Superstar. On the show he and Rohit will be looking for new talent to launch. He also mentioned that if Kangana Ranaut was invited by the channel he would welcome that when questioned about it.
