When someone does mimicry of someone, it shows how that person admires the other person It shows how they notice every detail, emotion and action of the person. With the show, we dont want to offend anyone or want people to get the perception that we are hurting others. Getting a whiff of the stir caused by Karans social media post slamming the act, Paritosh clarifies, The intention is never to hurt anyone. In fact, we want to do the opposite. We all are from the same field, and have such huge respect for our seniors and icons. The acts are done with good heart. We are usually cautious that they dont hurt anyone. But now, going forward we will be extra cautious about it to ensure no one feels bad because of us. Here, he picks an example to explain his point, saying, I roast people on the show in front of them, and they know from where it all is coming from. We maintain a boundary, and never cross that line. That being said, the whole team just wants Karan to know that we didnt want to offend him. It was done in a light manner. What happened On Sunday, Karan took to Instagram Stories to share his anger upon seeing Kettans imitation of him in the promo for the comedy show Madness Machayenge India Ko Hasayenge. While Karan didnt explicitly mention the channel or the comedians name, he criticised the act, dubbing it as done in a poor taste. When Kettan apologised for the act, it confirmed which show he was talking about. Karan wrote, I was sitting and watching television with my mom and saw a promo of a reality comedy show on a supposedly respectable channel a comic was mimicking me in exceptionally poor taste I expect this from trolls and faceless and nameless people but when your own industry can disrespect someone who has been in the business for over 25 years it speaks volumes about the times we live in this doesnt even anger me it just makes me sad! Kettan is sorry Reacting to Karans remarks, Kettan issued a heartfelt apology. In an interview with Now, Kettan said, I would like to apologise to Karan (Johar) sir. First of all, whatever impersonation I do because I watch a lot of Karan Johar on the coffee show, I am a fan of his work. I have seen his latest film, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani 5 to 6 times. I am a huge fan of his work and his show. If my actions hurt him, I would like to apologise to him. My intention was not to hurt him. I just wanted to entertain the audience but if I did something extra, I would like to say sorry to him". (Read Karan Johar upset with comedian's mimicry of him 'in exceptionally poor taste' Is he talking about this show?) Talking about Karans reaction to the promo, he said he has not seen the whole episode yet. I havent watched the episode. Sir has reacted to the promo. I havent seen the episode. I would like to see the reactions of people and Karan sir after watching the episode. I dont want to offend, sir. Many artists dont mimic Karan sir. I used to do it a couple of years ago on The Kapil Sharma Show.
