Disha Patani reacts to nepotism allegations against Karan Johar, reveals she was actually discovered by him

Sidharth Malhotra’s action film Yodha’s trailer launch event was held on Thursday, which was attended by the entire team of the film, including producer Karan Johar and actors Raashii Khanna and Disha Patani.

At the event, Disha made a revelation about how she was actually ‘spotted’ by Karan during her teenage years, when she was modelling.

Disha Patani defends Karan Johar

Disha Patani said, “If I am an actress today, it is also because of Karan Johar; because he was the one who actually spotted me when I was modelling. I was just 18. I feel like I wouldn’t have been here, if he hadn’t spotted me at that time. So when people say whatever (hinting at nepotism)… I am an outsider. So I feel like this is the opportunity that he gave me”.

Responding to her statement, Karan Johar said ‘I love you’ and showered Disha Patani, whose first Hindi film release was the 2016 biopic MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, with hugs.
