Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar is currently facing a wrath of Shah Rukh Khan’s fans after he mistakenly liked a tweet that abused Shah Rukh Khan and praise Akshay Kumar’s Kesari.
The tweet by a user called Mannu Yadav read, “Half day colls [collections] of Kesari on Holi day (which is worse than pre diwali day) [is] greater than Zero full festival day collection.”
Soon, Twitter slam Karan Johar for liking an offensive tweet comparing Shah Rukh Khan with Akshay Kumar. In no time, #ShameOnKaranJohar started trending on the social media.
KJO likes tweet that abused SRK
However soon as KJO realized his mistake, he immediately unliked the tweet but the damage was done and the screenshot of the liked tweet already went viral and looks like Shah Rukh Khan fans are in no mood to stay calm and accused him of backstabbing his best friend SRK.
At the time of filing this, #ShameOnKaranJohar was at the fifth position in India trends, with more than 22,000 tweets using the hashtag.
Later, KJO himself has posted an apology tweet saying that he didn’t intend to like any such tweet and it happened due to technical problem in his account. Johar added that he would never acknowledge such tweet and haven’t even read that.

Reacting to the entire controversy, SRK said that he hated clarifications on social media.
‘’I hate clarifications on SM. @karanjohar is technologically challenged but has other good qualities like his taste in clothes!?Just like Life, twitter doesn’t come with instructions, so mistakes r natural….& also he has fat fingers. Go easy all, Make Lov not War…it’s more fun,’’ The actor wrote.
