KJO is technologi­cally challenged: SRK

-

SHAH RUKH KHAN HAS called his friend and filmmaker Karan Johar “technologi­cally challenged” after the latter got slammed by social media users for liking a tweet which trolled the Zero actor. “Karan Johar is technologi­cally challenged but has other good qualities like his taste in clothes,” SRK tweeted on Friday.

Karan reportedly liked an anti-srk tweet posted by a social media user. The user spoke about Kesari and compared Shah Rukh to Akshay Kumar’s stardom and apparently called him a “B grade” actor. Karan is a co-producer of the Akshay Kumar-starrer Kesari, which released on Thursday.

“Half day collection­s of Kesari on Holi day (which is worse than pre-diwali day) is greater than Zero full festival day collection,” read the tweet.

Karan’s like on the comment did not go well with SRK fans as they started #shameonkar­an on Twitter and started questionin­g his friendship with SRK.

After receiving the backlash, Karan took to Twitter and apologised over the tweet saying there was a technical issue and he will personally never acknowledg­e such comments.

“Guys I am having a technical problem with my Twitter account! Strange things are going on... From uploading shoe picture and gibberish to liking tweets I haven’t even read and would never even acknowledg­e,” he wrote.

Hours later, SRK took to Twitter and urged netizens to “make love not war”. He said: “Just like Life, Twitter doesn’t come with instructio­ns, so mistakes are natural and also he has fat fingers. Go easy all.”

ALIA BHATT, WHO IS playing one of the leading ladies in the upcoming film Kalank, on Friday visited Mumbai’s iconic Gaiety theatre for the first time in her life. She was there to launch the film’s song First Class. The actress arrived alongside her co-star Varun Dhawan at the theatre, located in Bandra, one of the suburban areas of Mumbai city where thousands of her fans were waiting to catch a glimpse of their favourite star.

As the fans welcomed the duo with a loud cheer, Varun addressed them saying, “It is overwhelmi­ng to come and see the responses from all you guys.”

He also shared that “Alia is visiting the theatre for the first time.”

At the event, the fans demanded that Alia perform live on stage. So, Alia performed Kathak for her fans on the stage. Later, Varun also joined her and flaunted his dance moves. After the event, they both entertaine­d their fans outside the theatre. Varun and Alia stepped on the theatre’s roof and wooed the crowd by grooving on their just launched song First Class. The song also features Aditya Roy Kapur, Madhuri Dixit Nene and Kiara Advani. Composed by Pritam and written by Amitabh Bhattachar­ya, it is sung by Arijit Singh and Neeti Mohan.
