Simi Chandoke, the ex-Zoom anchor, fired sensational allegations about Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar’s relationship with actor Sidharth Malhotra. Malhotra’s decision to withdraw from Johar’s company emotionally injured the director, as Chandoke stated. She also alleged that Johar had some obsessive interest regarding Malhotra’s personal life, including love affairs.
These statements have raised a lot of eyebrows; however, no one can put any strong evidence to back these claims. So, these are just rumors. Sidharth Malhotra made his film debut under Karan Johar’s production banner with the film Student of the Year in 2012. Over the years, the two have shared not only an extremely close professional bonding but also a closely knit personal bond, as the two have been often spotted at various events. However, as Malhotra carved a way for himself, came into marriage with actress Kiara Advani, and initiated rumors that the sparks were flying from behind closed doors. Chandoke’s statements triggered even more speculation with the idea that Johar was upset about Malhotra drifting away from his inner circle.

Mixed reactions have been drawn to these allegations from different people online . Some netizens criticized Chandoke for bringing into public discourse unverified personal matters and then further asked the ethics of such allegations. Others argue that the personal-professional style of relationships in Bollywood tends to become ironed out after things happen beyond the thin veil of separation. Whatever the controversy is, both Malhotra and Johar were seen on the same runway just recently, walking for a fashion show that invited them to share fun moments proving the claims of a fallout between the two unsubstantiated.
Karan Johar and Sidharth Malhotra, personally, have given no words regarding these allegations and continue to keep silence. Thus, until one or the either comes out with their words, these such allegations remain mere speculations, and this basically emphasizes the kind of ahead public perception that media narratives can build without factual ground.
