“I would also criticise Karan Johar’s films for promoting some stereotypes about the LGBTQ+ community, especially through the usage of certain characters and humorous elements,” the tweet stated. Apoorva Asrani responded by claiming that not just Karan was involved in the pattern of ‘ridiculing’ LGBT people in Bollywood films. Apoorva, who has criticised some of Karan’s movies, claimed that the director had also backed a “sensitive” movie called Kapoor & Sons (2016).
