Vijay Deverakonda ‘Fighter’ producer apologizes. Yes, we are speaking about celebrated filmmaker and producer Karan Johar, who has been posting videos titled “Lockdown With The Johars, which shows his kids Roohi and Yash making fun of him and also their funny antics.
However, Karan has now issued apology after a viral video “Thank You Celebrities” doing the rounds has subtly called out celebrities including Ellen DeGeneres and Amanda Byrnes who are treating the lockdown as chill mode and are unseeing the pandemic crisis.

Please don't apologize. Yes there are people in dire straits, but a lil positivity and laughter doesn't hurt anyone. My kids watch your kids and laugh at their innocent banter. Dont feel guilty for being happy. We need more. God bless u and the kiddos
