Karan Johar slams Bollywood paid PR saying reactions are often for sale

He says “everything is available at a price”

Karan Johar has sharply criticised Bollywood’s heavy reliance on paid publicity, calling the PR ecosystem “overdrive.” Speaking to The Week, he argued that when anything can be procured for a price, it becomes hard to separate genuine audience buzz from purchased reactions. Johar urged artists to let their work speak instead of leaning on constant publicity.
