This Video Of Kangana Ranaut Telling Rohit Shetty In Front Of Karan Johar That He Makes His Guests Drink 'Zeher' On Koffee With Karan Is Going VIRAL!
Recently, one senior journalist took to his column and shed light on the stark reality of the showbiz world. He revealed how Karan Johar was displeased and exasperated when his movie ‘My Name Is Khan’ received no nominations at an award function. The journalist then contended of receiving long, pained and hurt calls as a result of this.
A piece from his long note read, “There was an incident every year. I am choosing the few here to illustrate the power of every possible element: A dynasty, a clique or an individual star. In the 2011 awards (for 2010 releases), My Name is Khan was apparently the biggest hit. It did not get nominated in any category. Right or wrong, we wouldn’t know, because we let the jury be."
He added, "And the jury that year was headed by someone as widely respected and accomplished as Amol Palekar. Shah Rukh Khan was also a contracted performer and a stage presenter. Trouble began three days earlier, as usual. There were threats of a boycott. I never heard this from Shah Rukh — before, during the awards or later, to be fair. But from people “around the film”. There was panic and I had to field long, pained, hurt calls from Karan Johar, who simply wouldn’t accept that the jury had not found the film worthy of an award,"
The senior journalist winded up by saying, “I was told dark theories on why poor Palekar might dislike those who made “the greatest hit in years”. How dare he choose instead a “marginal film” like Vikramaditya Motwane’s Udaan! There were threats of a boycott not just “by us, but the entire industry”. We held our nerve again, and a breather came as the viewers’ choice award, based on an internet poll conducted by our host TV channel, went to the film (My Name Is Khan). We were satisfied because it wasn’t a jury award and our process was clean."
