'You are not the moral police': Karan Johar tells people to STOP celebrating FAILURES; opens up about BIAS on social media

The year 2025 has not been very easy for Karan Johar and his production house. Some of the films released under the banner did not perform well at the box office.

The recent release 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri,' starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, got mixed reviews, along with several other of their films that released this year. The collections were low, and the response was not what the team had expected. In the midst of it all, Karan Johar decided to speak his heart out.

Karan Johar’s strong message on grace

Karan Johar shared a long and emotional note on Instagram. He wrote, “Grace… Is this now an alien phenomenon? Have we as a race completely lost our ability to be good old-fashioned graceful?” He also asked why people cannot reply properly to messages or emails. He added, “Are we not able to celebrate other people's successes, and can we stop celebrating their failures?”

Calling out social media behavior

Karan also spoke about how social media has become a place for negativity. He said, “Can we stop making social media a dumping ground of our own failings, shortcomings, or inner darkness?” He questioned why people take their bad moods online. He also said, “Are we able to practice what we preach… gyaan givers need to also be gyaan executors.” He clearly asked people to look within instead of judging others. He added a strong line that read, “You are not the moral police…” Look within, and you will have to deal with your own questionable morality.”

Ending with self-love and hope

Karan Johar also stressed accepting oneself. He wrote, “Lastly, do you have the grace to be YOU! With your flaws, rough edges, and indecisions.” He encouraged people to accept who they are and not hide from it. He ended the message with hope and warmth. He said, “Let's not bury Grace… Let's revive her from the ventilator she's been on for decades… happy 2026.”
