Filmmaker Karan Johar has been trolled on social media with netizens slamming him for allegedly "insulting" the culture and the traditional headgears of the people of the Northeast.

Johar uploaded a video clip on his Instagram profile on November 10, shot during 'India's Got Talent' TV show, where he and actress-politician Kirron Kher along with actress Malaika Arora are co-judges. The clip shows Kher wearing a spiked bamboo Arunachalee hat and the Bollywood director exclaiming, "oh my god, what is that on your head?" Kher replies, "People from Arunachal Pradesh have brought it for me and they have got this for you," showing him an Assamese 'Japi', traditional hat made of bamboo, dried leaves and pieces of coloured cloths.
