Following Karan Johar’s expression of disappointment over comedian Kettan Singh’s mimicry act, the comedian has issued an apology to the filmmaker, clarifying that his intention was not to cause harm. Johar had taken to Instagram stories on Sunday to convey his frustration upon witnessing Singh’s portrayal of him in the promo for the new comedy show Madness Machayenge – India Ko Hasayenge. While Johar refrained from explicitly mentioning the channel or the comedian’s name, he criticised the act, labeling it as being in “poor taste.”

Karan’s Instagram post conveyed his disappointment at stumbling upon Singh’s mimicry act while watching television with his mother. He lamented the lack of respect from within the industry and expressed sadness rather than anger at the situation.

He wrote, “I was sitting and watching television with my mom… and saw a promo of a reality comedy show on a supposedly respectable channel… a comic was mimicking me in exceptionally poor taste… I expect this from trolls and faceless and nameless people but when your own industry can disrespect someone who has been in the business for over 25 years it speaks volumes about the times we live in… this doesn’t even anger me it just makes me sad!”
