Filmmaker Karan Johar at the time of his film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil's release apologized for featuring Fawah Khan(a Pakistani actor) in the film, now says he feels terrible for saying not to engage with talent from Pakistan.

When Vir Sanghvi(news anchor) asked Karan about the apology video, he said, "At the time of 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil', I was torn between ideology and circumstance. I have my own belief and thoughts on this, but there's a studio and cast I'm accountable to, the team of the film I'm accountable to. So I had to put out a statement which I feel terrible about."

Added by filmmaker, "I feel I've contributed to this country in my own tiny way over the last 20 years of my career... I've been working in this industry for two decades and the fact that I had to be there and was given the advice to do this."

Karan considered it as one of the top three worst moments in life, "Everyone said it looked like you were going to cry. I wasn't crying and pleading to profess my nationalism. I wanted to break into tears... the fact that I had to do this. It felt like there was an invisible gun on my head."

"I couldn't stop myself when I saw what happened to Sanjay Leela Bhansali because he's a fellow filmmaker. He and I are not best friends but I have great regard for him as a filmmaker and he's a very prominent filmmaker. How dare someone come on that set and assault that man? It's ridiculous," he said about Padmavati's attack.
