Karan Johar hopes Fawad Khan finds the best platform to work on

As reported previously by BizAsiaLive.com, Karan Johar had a tough time with the ban of Pakistani artistes and having Fawad Khan in his film, ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ (2016).  Johar was recently speaking at the World Economic Forum and he commented on how he felt about Khan.

According to Pink Villa, the filmmaker was asked by Sharmeen Obaid, a documentary maker that she hopes to see Khan directed by Johar again.  Johar replied, “I’m trying to process how to answer that… You know what I went through. It was a tough time for me. I have a great regard for talent and I have a great regard for Fawad Khan’s talent which is why he’s been in two of our films.”

He progressed to say, “The circumstances… we don’t know where we’re heading, and I think all great actors should find the best platforms and just like you, I hope Fawad Khan finds the best platform because he’s a terrific actor. Having said that, I never want to go through what I went through again. Neither the situation, the circumstances, nor the apology. None of that is what made me feel comfortable. I felt weak, vulnerable, victimised, and as a filmmaker, I don’t want to feel that. I just want to feel creatively liberated.”
