Kettan Apologises to Karan Johar After Mimicking Him On National TV
Although, Kettan had already issued an apology to Karan Johar, Singh once again through various media portals approached Karan Johar. A news report by India Today wrote, “I was actually surprised because while we rehearsed and even shot it, no one found anything offensive. I still don’t know what exactly offended him. Was it the impersonation, the content, or some dialogue? I am not sure what exactly triggered him. Regardless, if it did not go well with him, I heartily apologise to him (sic),” said Kettan.
Kettan Singh is still processing the recent developments, as the reality of the situation has not fully sunk in yet. He expressed that he is unsure about his next steps and is feeling overwhelmed by the current circumstances. Kettan added, “He is such a big personality, and I have no way to access him.

What Exactly Did Karan Johar Share on Social Media
Karan Johar wrote a descriptive message on his Instagram Story. Karan penned, “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 doesn’t even anger me it just makes me sad!” (sic).

I have mimicked several celebrities but have always ensured not to make it caricaturish. This has been my way to perform, to keep it real.
