MUMBAI: Ever since Sushant Singh Rajput's demise, filmmaker Karan Johar has been on the receiving end. The Ae Dil Hai Mushkil maker is being bashed for indulging in nepotism and not given an opportunity to outsiders to grow in the industry. He was termed as the Flag bearer of Nepotism by Kangana Ranaut on his show and once again, the debate over the N-word has taken over social media with Karan being the centre of it. However, Saif Ali Khan feels that Karan is just a symbol and hence, is receiving so much flak.

In an interview with The New Indian Express, Saif was quoted saying, "As far as Karan is concerned, he has made himself a large symbol and because he has put on so many different hats..it seems like he’s attracting a lot of flak for it. Am sure it's not all deserved. The truth is always complicated. There’s much more to it but unfortunately people aren’t interested in that. They are just interested in symbols. He just happens to be a symbol for something at the moment that is not very popular. I hope the tide is over and better things that he is known for like a filmmaker and producer shines through."

He also spoke about Kangana's comment on Karan on Koffee With Karan as he was also present in the same episode. Saif revealed that he was surprised by Kangana's comments and said that he had no idea what his Rangoon co-star was saying.

He shared, "I have no idea what Kangana was saying on Koffee with Karan because I don’t think like that. I mean if you come on to a show and if you've got an agenda prepared to kind of you know take the host down..my mind doesn't work like that. I don't understand. So I was a little surprised obviously. But these issues have absolutely nothing to do with me and I tend to find myself in the middle of them. Maybe I should think sometimes before commenting."
