Karan Johar announces 'digital detox', asks 'universe the strength to stay away'

Filmmaker Karan Johar announces a week-long digital detox while celebrating the box office success of recent Bollywood films like 'Dhurandhar' and 'Border 2'.

"The mega success of the two recent back-to-back mega Hindi film successes proves one thing...Bollywood...is back. - Karan Johar"

Mumbai Ja, n 27

Filmmaker Karan Johar has announced a digital detox, mentioning that he will be away from doom scrolling and also from DMs.

Taking to his social media account, Karan wrote, "Digital Detox for a week ! No doom scrolling! No DMs! No posts! May the universe give me the strength to stay away!!!!"

Before going on a digital detox, Karan's last post featured Bollywood superstar Alia Bhatt in a video still wishing everybody a Happy Republic Day.

The filmmaker had also taken to his social media account to celebrate the success of the recent Bollywood releases, Ranveer Singh's "Dhurandhar" and Sunny Deol's "Border 2".

Johar has shared that the box office results of both these movies hint that Bollywood is here to stay. He also had added that people are willing to go to cinema halls, provided that they are able to connect with the film, something which was evident with "Dhurandhar" and "Border 2".

Karan Johar maker took to his social media account to pen his thoughts. He wrote, "The mega success of the two recent back-to-back mega Hindi film successes proves one thing...Bollywood (yes, incorrect terminology, but here to stay) is back. Naysayers can fly a kite. All Dhurandhars will cross borders of excellence when the films strike emotional chords with a paying audience (sic)".

A few days ago, Karan Johar was seen hosting the grand session celebrating his dear friend and Bollywood star Rani Mukerji's 30 years in Bollywood, organised by Yash Raj Films.

He's right about Bollywood being back! Dhurandhar and Border 2 were fantastic. Felt so proud watching them in the theatre. The big screen experience is unmatched.

Respectfully, it's easy to announce a detox when you have a team managing your brand. For the rest of us, being offline for a week could mean missing job alerts or important updates. The privilege shows.

Interesting timing after celebrating the box office success. Maybe he needs the mental space to plan his next big project away from all the opinions and DMs. Wishing him strength!

As someone who works in digital marketing, I understand the burnout. But also, his social media is his direct channel to fans. Hope he comes back refreshed with some fun Koffee content!
