Karan Johar unfollows SRK, Alia, Kareena on Instagram; Continues to follow Priyanka Chopra
Mumbai, May 28
Filmmaker Karan Johar's following list on Instagram has undergone a major change.
On Thursday, the netizens noticed that the 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' maker went on an unfollowing spree, removing some big names from the industry, along with his close friends from the list.
Karan has reportedly unfollowed his close friends Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Malaika Arora, and designer Manish Malhotra.
KJo has even unfollowed his proteges Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, and Alia Bhatt, whom he launched together in "Student Of The Year".
We can also no longer see Kartik Aaryan in the list of the people Karan is following on Insta, despite the fact that he is set to headline Karan Johar's upcoming production "Naagzilla".
What is interesting is that the filmmaker who has removed almost all the bigwigs from the industry from his Insta following list continues to follow Priyanka Chopra.
Except for Priyanka, the only prominent names on Karan's following list now are Dharma CEO Apoorva Mehta and business partner Adar Poonawalla.
At the moment, KJo's account shows that he is only following 78 accounts, while enjoying 17 million followers on the photo-sharing app.
The reason for Karan's latest move on social media is still not clear.
The 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hain' maker is extremely active on the platform and keeps the netizens hooked with his enchanting updates, which at times also feature his kids, Roohi and Yash.
The filmmaker also loves to use social media to share his views on the trending topics, along with the latest updates in Bollywood.
On the professional front, Karan Johar recently produced Ananya Panday and Lakshya starrer "Chand Mera Dil".
Released in theatres on 22nd May, the project opened to mixed reviews with a lukewarm run at the ticket counters.
It must be noted that Karan has also unfollowed Ananya.
Up next, he is working on "Naagzilla", featuring Kartik as the lead.

Honestly, who cares? These Bollywood folks love their little cliques and Instagram drama. Karan needs to focus on making good films instead of this nonsense. "Chand Mera Dil" received mixed reviews for a reason. 🙄
Interesting move... Karan unfollows almost everyone except Priyanka. Maybe he's still salty about the whole boycott drama? Or is this a hint about future collaborations? In Bollywood, everything is strategic, yaar. Let's see what happens next! 🤔
Only following 78 accounts when you have 17 million followers? That's so arrogant! 🤦♀️ But seriously, Priyanka being the only big name left is giving major 'queen stays winning' energy. She's playing the long game while everyone else is fighting over Instagram follows.
This is why I don't take Bollywood seriously. One day they're best friends, next day they unfollow each other. Meanwhile, we common people have bigger problems like inflation and unemployment. Focus on real issues, media! 😒
KJo still following Priyanka is such a vibe! 😍 Remember how she was the only one who showed up for his show 'Koffee with Karan' during the whole boycott phase? Real ones stick together. Also, why is nobody talking about him unfollowing Kartik despite working with him on Naagzilla? Suspense badh gaya hai!
