After having claimed to have learnt his "lesson" following the Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul row, Karan Johar seems to have had yet another foot-in-the-mouth moment. His comment to a website that Anushka Sharma's character in his film, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, was killed because she was unable to reciprocate the feelings that leading man Ranbir Kapoor harboured for her, has not gone down well with netizens.

He said in the interview, "Yes, the last track met with many polarised responses and rightfully so, but I was like she didn't love him, she has to die. I wrote this character. He loved her so crazily. She could've loved him back, why couldn't she? So she got cancer and she died," he said.
