Filmmaker Karan Johar recently sparked major buzz on social media after fans noticed that he had unfollowed several Bollywood celebrities on Instagram. The move led to widespread speculation, especially because many of the stars removed from his following list are known to share close personal and professional relationships with him.
According to a report by Filmfare, the decision was not linked to any fallout or personal conflict. Sources claimed that the mass unfollowing was simply part of a social media management strategy.
Celebrities reportedly unfollowed by Karan include Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, Ananya Panday, and Malaika Arora. Fans were also surprised to see Kartik Aaryan missing from the list, despite his upcoming collaboration with Dharma Productions in Naagzilla.
Interestingly, Priyanka Chopra Jonas reportedly remains the only Bollywood celebrity currently followed by Karan on Instagram.
On the work front, Karan Johar recently backed the romantic drama Chaand Mera Dil, starring Ananya Panday and Lakshya. Directed by Vivek Soni, the film explores the journey of two college lovers navigating adulthood and changing relationships. Released on May 22, 2026, the film received mixed reactions from critics and audiences alike.
