Karan Johar Becomes Most Followed Director on Social Media: Producer Reveals How Trolls Left him Upset First and Then Amused

Karan Johar is known to be one of the most influential personalities in the world of Hindi cinema. The popular director is quite active on social media and that made him bag the title of the most followed producer-director on social media. We all know that being on social media is not an easy thing for the celebs as it appears. With the growing followers, they also have to deal with growing trolls. However, Johar knows how to handle them and his tips might come handy to other celebs as well!

Talking about his achieving this feat on social media, KJo said, "It feels gratifying to reach out to millions of people through social media. The love and candidness that one experiences validates the work we do," reports DNA.

When asked about the trolls and how he gets affected by them, the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil maker pointed out, "The hazard is definitely the trolls and sometimes the intense negativity that one is also subjected to. At first, it used to upset me, but now, I have developed an armour of indifference and many a time I am also amused by some of the derogatory comments I read about myself. Initially, I remember giving it back; but in time, I realised I am only empowering the lonely and unfortunate trolls on planet social media.”

Well, we can see how the filmmaker is making his own rules when it comes to social media and why not! In the age where the faceless trolls get the disadvantage of pulling down the public figures, not responding to these faceless beings, is the only sensible way out. On the work front, Karan is seen as a judge on the reality show 'India's Next Superstars' along with Rohit Shetty.
