Filmmaker Karan Johar has been trolled on social media with netizens slamming him for allegedly "insulting" the culture and the traditional headgears of the people of the Northeast.
Johar uploaded a video clip on his Instagram profile on November 10, shot during 'India's Got Talent' TV show, where he and actress-politician Kirron Kher along with actress Malaika Arora are co-judges.
The clip shows Kher wearing a spiked bamboo Arunachalee hat and the Bollywood director exclaiming, "oh my god, what is that on your head?"
To her query: "Why are you not wearing your hat," Karan Johar is heard replying, "Because you have guts, I don't."
The filmmaker jocularly continues, "You are looking you are going to break into some kind of qawwali."
The BJP MP quips back, "How can I break into a qawwali in a bamboo hat. What's wrong with you? You don't know the states of this country."
