Karan Johar disappointed over Hardik Pandya-KL Rahul controversy in Koffee with Karan

Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul are currently suspended for their sexist and racist comments on the talk show Koffee with Karan. A lot has happened ever since the episode was aired on the Television and the cricketers have faced the wrath from the public. While the inquiry is still pending on the duo, the anchor of the show and the prominent Bollywood personality Karan Johar has opened up for the first time on the matter.

While speaking to ET Now, Karan Johar conceded that he was extremely disappointed with the after-effects of the show and has endured a lot of sleepless nights since then. He also went on to add that he can’t undo the damage and it is beyond his control now.

“I have to say that I feel very responsible because it was my show, it was my platform. I invited them as guests and so the ramifications and repercussion of the show are my responsibility. I have had so many so many sleepless nights, wondering about how I can undo this damage, who is gonna listen to me. It’s now gone into a zone which is beyond my control,” Karan said.

What next for Rahul and Pandya?

Ever since the controversy has taken place, the Koffee with Karan show has added an extra disclaimer saying that the comments don’t intend to hurt anyone. Meanwhile, Rahul and Hardik are made to wait even more as far as the inquiry over the matter is concerned. The Supreme Court has set February 5 as the date for the BCCI‘s case hearing. This has put the duo’s participation in the IPL and the World Cup 2019 in serious doubt.

It remains to be seen if they will be banned for a certain period or it will be a backdated suspension given the fact that they have already missed four ODIs since being suspended from the middle of Australia tour ahead of the ODI series.
