“I totally wanted to murder completely Anushka Sharma’s career,” he said. “Because, when Aditya Chopra showed me her image, I was like no no, mad or what? You are signing her! You are crazy and there is no need to sign this Anushka Sharma.”
Karan Johar said that he was sabotaging her work and was reluctantly watching Anushka Sharma’s debut film.

He said he issued an apology and complimented her after watching her performance in the musical-drama film ‘Band Baaja Baaraat‘. He admitted he felt embarrassed because he “would have actually ruined the graph of an exceptional talent.”
