Karan Johar takes a sly dig at 'insider-outsider' debate: 'Happy to be entitled to...'

Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar has given his own hilarious spin to the never-ending conversation about the “insider and outsider” conversation and said that he is very “happy to be entitled” to his own thoughts.

Karan took to his Instagram stories, where he shared a selfie from the business class of the airplane along with the picture he wrote a tongue in cheek comment about the “insider and outsider” debate that often takes place in Bollywood. “Living on a plane… What a privilege to be an outsider from the plane and an insider to the warmth of my hotel room. I am so happy to be entitled to my own thoughts and cut of from WHYFI,” he wrote.

On March 10, Karan talked about stepping into the Punjabi cinema with Gippy Grewal's much-awaited drama, "Akaal", which will be the first Punjabi film to be released in Hindi in cinemas worldwide.

He wrote: "It gives me so much pride to have Dharma Productions associating with the legendary & accomplished Gippy Grewal to mark our first foray into Punjabi cinema. Akaal not only represents the culture & history of Punjab but I am positive it will resonate on a deeper level with the entirety of India and beyond. Which is why we are even prouder to present Akaal being the first Punjabi film to be released in Hindi in cinemas worldwide...so that the magic of cinema continues to conquer beyond borders."
