Filmmaker Karan Johar, who has been slammed by social media users for liking a tweet which trolled superstar Shah Rukh Khan, on Friday apologized saying that there is a technical issue and he will personally never acknowledge such comments.
It is reported that Karan liked an anti-SRK tweet posted by a social media user.
The user spoke about Akshay Kumar’s latest release “Kesari” and compared Shah Rukh to Akshay’s stardom and apparently called him as “B grade” actor.
Karan has co-produced “Kesari”, which released on Thursday.
The tweet read: “Half day collections of ‘Kesari’ on Holi day (which is worse than pre-Diwali day) is greater than ‘Zero’ full festival day collection.”
Karan’s like on the comment did not go well with SRK fans as they started #shameonKaran on Twitter and started questioning his friendship with SRK.
After receiving backlash, Karan wrote: “Guys I am having a technical problem with my Twitter account! Strange things are going on… From uploading shoe picture and gibberish to liking tweets I haven’t even read and would never even acknowledge.
“Please bear with me and I apologize for any inconvenience. Sorting it out asap.
But it seems damage has already been done as one user called Karan “snake”.
“An open enemy is better than a false friend. Beware… He is a snake.”
Another user urged everyone to “boycott” Karan’s movies.
There is one user who said that Karan “can’t be a good friend of anyone because he cares about money”.
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has called his friend and filmmaker Karan Johar “technologically challenged” after the latter got slammed by social media users for liking a tweet which trolled the “Zero” actor.
“Karan Johar is technologically challenged but has other good qualities like his taste in clothes,” SRK tweeted on Friday.
Karan reportedly liked an anti-SRK tweet posted by a social media user. The user spoke about “Kesari” and compared Shah Rukh to Akshay Kumar’s stardom and apparently called him a “B grade” actor.

“Guys I am having a technical problem with my Twitter account! Strange things are going on… From uploading shoe picture and gibberish to liking tweets I haven’t even read and would never even acknowledge,” he wrote.
Hours later, SRK took to Twitter and urged netizens to “make love not war”.
He said: “Just like Life, Twitter doesn’t come with instructions, so mistakes are natural and also he has fat fingers. Go easy all…It’s more fun.”
