Divya Khossla talks about 'Jigra' controversy and calls Karan Johar's practices 'abusive'

Bollywood actor and director Divya Khossla’s film ‘Savi’ was released in May this year. The film may not have done well at the box office, but its name has been in the headlines since the release of Alia Bhatt’s ‘Jigra’. Firstly, Divya accused Alia of buying movie tickets to show fake box office figures and later a war of words broke out between Divya and ‘Jigra’ producer Karan Johar. The team of actors of ‘Savi’ also accused Jigra of being a copy of their film. Amidst all this, Divya’s new interview with Hindustan Times has started a new fight.

Divya Khossla hits back at Karan Johar

Last Friday, Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt’s ‘Jigra’ was released. This film may not be doing wonders at the box office, but it is making a lot of noise in the corridors of Bollywood. The controversy arose with the release of the film. There was talk about how many similarities there are between ‘Savi’ and ‘Jigra’. While Alia remained silent on this controversy, Karan Johar created a ruckus by making a cryptic post. Now Divya Khossla has responded to the controversy.

What did Divya say?

Karan Johar responded to Divya’s allegations through one of his cryptic posts in which he wrote that the right to respond to fools is to remain silent. Divya Khosla immediately responded with another story: ‘The truth will always anger the fools who oppose it.’ Now, taking the matter further in this episode, Divya Khossla Kumar has claimed that Karan Johar used abusive language and also made the PR man use abusive language towards her.

Divya Khossla Kumar asked her question and said, ‘Today, when I speak my mind, Mr. Karan Johar uses abusive language to silence me. Is it right to call a woman who points out unethical practices stupid as a fool? If this is happening to me, what will happen to newcomers to the industry? There is no king here and I cannot be treated like an object. There are many other abusive words that were used in their PR articles and my taking a stand was called a PR scam. I’m sorry, I don’t need that. I’m already famous.

Well, with everything that is going on between the two filmmakers, it seems logical to say that this controversy might not end anytime soon and now Karan will be seen responding to Divya’s interview in the upcoming episode of the controversial ‘Jigra’.
