Karan Johar is one filmmaker who had been witnessed the tough time regarding his star cast of last directorial release film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.

As Pakistani actor Fawad Khan was in the movie doing a pivotal role. The question arises whether Karan will work with Fawad in future or not? Karan Johar who was present at World Economic Forum, asked about the ban and Fawad Khan, "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 films."

The filmmaker continued by saying, "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."
