Priyanka Chopra had made some major revelations about Bollywood. In a podcast, she reasoned why she left Bollywood as she was being ‘pushed into the corner’ and was ‘tired of the politics’ in the film industry. She also revealed why she decided to speak up about the incident after so long. This garnered a lot of discussion on social media and has encouraged other celebrities who are facing the same situation.

At this time, actress Kangana Ranaut also backed her saying "This is what ⁦@priyankachopra⁩ has to say about Bollywood, people ganged up on her, bullied her and chased her out of film industry a self made woman was made to leave India. Everyone knows Karan Johar had banned her."

Amid this, a video of Karan Johar speaking about wanting to completely murder Anushka Sharma's career is going viral. He had confessed that he had almost ‘ruined’ Anushka Sharma's career after he asked Aditya Chopra to not sign her for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (debut movie of Anushka Sharma). It should be noted that Karan wanted Sonam Kapoor in the film and had reluctantly watched Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.



The actress garnered immense love and appreciation for her performance in the 2008 film, starring opposite Shah Rukh Khan. The film was directed by Aditya Chopra and was a super hit at the box office.

During the 18th MAMI Mumbai Film Festival in 2016, Karan had accompanied the lead actors of his film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai for an on-stage interaction with Rajeev Masand and Anupama Chopra.

Talking about Anushka, Karan had said, “I totally wanted to, completely murder Anushka Sharma's career. Because when Aditya Chopra showed me her image, I was like, ‘no, no, mad or what, you signing her, you crazy! There is no need for you to sign this Anushka Sharma'. There was another lead actress at that time who I wanted Adi to sign and I was totally behind the scene sabotaging her completely. The movie also I was reluctantly watching Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.”

He however, was impressed on seeing her in Band Baaja Baaraat and thought of apologising to her. "But when I saw Band Baaja Baaraat, I called her and I felt like I owed her an apology and a compliment. Apology because I felt so embarrassed that I would have actually ruined the graph of an exceptional talent and secondly, a compliment because I thought she was amazing," he added.

The video has been shared widely on Reddit where netizens are slamming the director for having the capability to "sabotage" one's career.

 

"Wow. He himself is admitting that he kept trying to sabotage her career."

 

Another said, "Just completely loving how he is openly accepting how capable he is to murder/ sabotage anyone’s career and able to replace the cast and change their career graphs as he wants!!"

 

"If he’s openly admitting this about anushka sharma imagine how many other talented actors career he’s sabotaged , we’ll never know coz some of them might’ve never gotten the chance to even debut".
