In a rare showdown between two Bollywood powerhouses, Karan Johar finds himself facing Divya Khosla Kumar, wife of T-Series head Bhushan Kumar. The friction arose after initial accusations surfaced, suggesting that box office numbers for the film Jigra were allegedly manipulated. While neither Karan Johar nor Alia Bhatt has responded officially, insiders indicate both parties are opting to maintain silence, potentially to avoid further escalation.
There are growing concerns that the feud could impact future projects, particularly Animal, a highly anticipated T-Series production starring Ranbir Kapoor. However, industry insiders believe that T-Series would not jeopardize its business over personal differences. A source close to the production revealed, “Animal is synonymous with Ranbir Kapoor’s success, and T-Series values its projects and business too much to allow external issues to interfere.”
The tension between Divya Khosla Kumar and Karan Johar flared up when Karan responded indirectly on social media, saying he doesn’t engage with “fools.” In response, Divya shared a post implying that “the truth fools no one,” but soon deleted it, going silent thereafter. Sources suggest that both Dharma Productions and T-Series have urged their key figures to avoid public confrontations, especially in a time when the film industry is grappling with a string of underperforming releases.
This isn’t the first time T-Series has had public confrontations. Abhay Deol previously faced fallout after taking a stance against the studio, which reportedly impacted his career prospects. As of now, it seems both Karan Johar and Divya Khosla Kumar have been advised to keep a low profile and let the storm pass.
