Filmmaker Karan Johar had a tough time last year during the
release of his movie Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The ban on Pakistani artists
in Indian films brought KJo's film under the scanner as it starred Fawad
Khan in a key role.
Lately, when Karan Johar was present at the World Economic
Forum, he was questioned about the ban and Fawad Khan. When
the Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid told that she hopes
to someday see Fawad Khan being directed by Karan Johar on the big screen, the first-rate
filmmaker responded, "I'm trying to process how to answer that... You know
what I went through. It was a tough time for me. I have a great regard for
talent and I have a great regard for Fawad Khan's talent which is why he's been
in two of our movies."
He further added, "The circumstances... we don't know
where we're heading, and I think all great actors should find the best
platforms and just like you, I hope Fawad Khan finds the best platform because
he's a terrific actor. Having said that, I never want to go through what I went
through again. Neither the situation, the circumstances, nor the apology. None
of that is what made me feel comfortable. I felt weak, vulnerable, victimised,
and as a filmmaker, I don't want to feel that. I just want to feel creatively
liberated."
