Interesting to see Karan Johar there. I think it's healthy for public figures to step out of their bubbles. If the event helped clear misconceptions, that's a positive step for national discourse.

Frankly, I'm surprised. But good on KJo and others for attending. We should all try to understand organizations that have shaped our nation's history, even if we don't fully agree with them. Knowledge is power.

As an observer, I find this fascinating. The RSS is often portrayed one-dimensionally in international media. It's refreshing to see cultural figures highlighting aspects like humour and clarity of thought from its leadership.

With all due respect to the individuals involved, I hope this engagement is genuine and not just for social or professional optics. The RSS's ideology and its impact on our social fabric is complex and deserves serious, ongoing dialogue, not just event-based appreciation.
