Filmmaker Karan Johar caused confusion by unfollowing industry friends like Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan on Instagram. Johar explained in an Instagram Story that this move was part of his digital detox to save time and energy spent on the platform. He emphasized that this action should not be blown out of proportion.
In addition to Khan and Kapoor Khan, Johar also unfollowed Malaika Arora, Manish Malhotra, and his proteges Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, and Alia Bhatt. Notably, he retained Priyanka Chopra in his following list. Johar’s current following list includes Dharma CEO Apoorva Mehta and business partner Adar Poonawalla, among others.
With a massive following of 17 million, Johar now follows only 74 handles on Instagram. Known for engaging with his audience and sharing updates, Johar also uses social media to discuss trending topics and Bollywood news. Recently, he produced “Chand Mera Dil” and is set to produce “Naagzilla” starring Kartik Aaryan.
