Karan Johar rubbishes claims that his 50th birthday bash was COVID-19 super spreader - "There were events, there were shoots, why blame me?"

“Now look, not to get technical about it but we don’t know who contracted it when because there was a lot happening that week. Even in the movie industry. There was not the party, there were weddings, there were events, there were shoots, why blame me? Everything, why does it come down to me? I don’t mean to sound like a victim but I do feel marginally victimized. I’m like I have nothing to do with this pandemic, I just want to put it out there. It’s not me. I have no connection with the beginning and the origin of this pandemic. I just want to put it out there so why people wrote what they did, how many people contracted it, did it happen at my party, I’m not saying it, I don’t know," Karan told Film Companion.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Karan Johar is directing Rocky Aur Rani Prem Kahani with Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh in lead roles.
