Karan Johar on the Hardik Pandya & KL Rahul’s controversial episode

Filmmaker and host, Karan Johar has apologised for the uproar caused by an interview featuring Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul in ‘Koffee With Karan’.

Johar, who hosts the popular Star TV show, felt responsible for the remarks the two cricketers made. He said that he has spent sleepless nights wondering how to “undo this damage”.

Talking to ET Now, Johar said, “I’m not justifying the conversation that happened on the episode. I’m saying that perhaps things were said that may have crossed boundaries and I apologise because it was my platform where it happened.”

He added, “I don’t defend myself when I say this, the questions I asked the two boys are the questions I ask everyone, including women. When Deepika (Padukone) and Alia (Bhatt) were on the show, I asked them those questions. I have no control over the answers that come my way. And post the show, I have a control room of about 16-17 girls. The show ‘Koffee with Karan’ is run entirely by women. I’m the only man there. None of them came up (with issues).”
