Karan Johar, the acclaimed Bollywood director and producer, recently found himself in a lighthearted situation when a fan addressed him as “uncle” on the streets of London. The amusing moment, captured on video, has gone viral on social media.
Currently on vacation in London with his family, Karan Johar was spotted interacting with fans and taking selfies. In the video, a fan debates how to address Johar, considering options like “KJo,” “Karan Johar,” or “Mr. Johar.” Ultimately, the fan decides to go with “Hi, uncle,” prompting a surprised response from Johar: “Did you just call me uncle?” Johar then walks away as the fan filming the encounter laughs.
The video quickly spread online, drawing criticism from Johar’s fans who felt the term “uncle” was disrespectful, particularly given the filmmaker’s prominent status and the context of being abroad.
