Taking to social media, Karan Johar urged media outlets to avoid sensationalising his statements. He made a “humble request” to not twist interview lines for clickbait headlines, stressing that quoting a single line without context can distort the real meaning of the conversation. He explained that such misrepresentation discourages public figures from speaking openly in interviews and podcasts, as their words often get turned into controversial narratives.
What Karan Johar Actually Said About Actors Changing Agencies
Johar had earlier spoken about how switching talent agencies has become common in Bollywood. He noted that many young actors today feel insecure due to constant scrutiny and social media pressure, which leads them to make professional changes more frequently.

The filmmaker made it clear that there is no personal issue with Janhvi Kapoor and that actors moving between agencies is a normal industry practice. He reiterated that his comments were general observations about the changing dynamics of talent management.
