Old video shows Johar admitting he's guilty of nepotism
An old video from filmmaker Karan Johar's interview in 2014 with film critic Anupama Chopra shows him saying that he is definitely guilty of nepotism. Johar added, "I picked up a chubby girl (Alia Bhatt)... May be the fact that she was Mahesh Bhatt's daughter also excited me... Would I have cast Varun Dhawan if he wasn't David Dhawan's son?"
