Karan Johar admits being the flag bearer of Nepotism!

The world knows about burning controversy between Karan Johar and Kangana Ranaut. Karan rubbished each and every allegation of Nepotism made by Kangana on him across an old video of Karan Johar, where he is admitting that nepotism exists in Bollywood.

Karan had appeared on Anupama Chopra's show The Front Row with Deepika Padukone and Tisca Chopra back in 2014 and that is where the filmmaker spoke candidly about nepotism in Bollywood.

Karan is seen admitting: "I picked up a chubby girl and I felt something. May be the fact that she was Mahesh Bhatt's daughter also excited me. I don't know. Right now I may say no, but may be that has been a very strong sub-layer. And that is nepotism and we are guilty and I am guilty. I am definitely guilty. Would I have cast Varun Dhawan if he wasn't David Dhawan's son? Because he was David Dhawan's son he was on my set as an AD and that's where I could spend enough time with him to know that he can be a movie star. So as I said, it has lot to do with the fact that there are too many factors in this country that determine movie stardom and I think true talent is the least of them. It is very sad and truly tragic. Would I have been a filmmaker? I am a producer's son. I had no experience, I was an assistant on one film, my father had the platform to give me and therefore I am a filmmaker. If I go through any struggle in my career then I deserve it."
