Karan Johar Says Munawar, Abhishek Fans Attacked Him
During the reunion episode, Karan addressed the feud and revealed that he had also faced backlash from fans of both contestants. He said that he was forced to go live on Instagram to clarify that he was merely the host of the show and was not responsible for the contestants being identified as traitors.
Karan said, "I don’t know about you two, but why were your fans attacking me? I had to go live on Instagram to say, ‘Bhaiya, main host hoon iss show ka. Maine nahi kaha traitor Harman hoga, Krystle hogi.’ Suddenly, Panda Gang, MKJ, I thought yeh dono koi political parties mere peeche pad gayi hain, mujhe pata nahi. Main darr gaya."
Johar added, "I said, 'Kya mujhe yeh desh chhodke jaana padega?’ Phir mujhe pata chala Panda Gang Abhishek Malhan ke fans hain, aur Munawar ka Janta Munawar ke fans hain. Ab mujhe bahut saari information mil gayi hai."
Following Karan’s comments, Munawar hugged Abhishek during the episode and apologised to Karan as well as the other contestants who had been targeted by their respective fan groups.
