Karan doesn't let the trolls go unnoticed. He retorts back with a befitting reply.
He was also asked about his biggest regret, to which he replied, "I never got to work with and direct my favourite actor Sridevi ma'am." Karan also posted how he left Twitter and joined the new app. He wrote, "I left Twitter...joined threads! Yes I am Gemini!" Talking about Threads, an app designed to directly compete with Elon Musk's Twitter.
It will be linked to users' Instagram profiles, making it simple to connect with followers, prominent personalities, or brands. The length of the text posts will be limited to 500 characters. (In comparison, Twitter has a character restriction of 280, which increases to 10,000 for Twitter Blue subscribers.) Instagram claims that accounts will be private by default, with a main feed made up of accounts you follow and suggested content from authors you may not have discovered yet. Threads can be shared on Instagram stories or via a link, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
