Karan Johar kicks off the festive season in a lowkey ceremony

Karan Johar kicked off the festive season by hosting a small Diwali get-together at home, which was attended by buddies Kareena Kapoor Khan, Malaika Arora, Manish Malhotra and Maheep Kapoor.

Karan Johar kicked off the festive season by hosting a small Diwali get-together at home, which was attended by buddies Kareena Kapoor Khan, Malaika Arora, Manish Malhotra and Maheep Kapoor. As they were catching up after months, there was an added reason to cheer, but none of the guests posted any pictures from the bash. KJo's 2019 party video went viral for all the wrong reasons. Better safe than sorry.

Karan Johar has also issued a statement debunking the media reports alleging that narcotics were consumed at one of his house parties that occurred earlier. The popular director has also called the claims "baseless and false". In a lengthy statement shared on Instagram, the filmmaker said neither he consumes narcotics nor does he promote usage of any such substance.
