Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar received plentiful hate today after he supposedly liked a tweet on the micro-blogging platform Twitter, the tweet abused Shah Rukh Khan and compared him to Akshay Kumar’s stardom.
The user going by the name, Mannu Yadav read, “Half day colls (collections) of Kesari on Holi day (which is worse than pre diwali day) is greater than Zero full festival day collection.” The tweet then went on to abuse how Shah Rukh Khan’s stardom was nothing compared to Akshay Kumar’s.
When Shah Rukh Khan fans spotted the filmmaker like the abusive tweet, users started spreading venom against Karan Johar. Fans started trending #ShameOnKaranJohar, the trend received close over 50,000 tweets.
As soon as Karan Johar noticed this mistake, he unliked the hateful tweet. However smart netizens took screenshots and started tagging Shah Rukh Khan to take note of the situation.
