Recently, veteran screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar took a jibe at news channels for covering the news about Karan Johar's last year's house party, which is making headlines for allegedly being a drugs party.
"If Karan johar had invited some farmers too for his party life would have been easier for our TV channels. They would not have had to choose between farmers' protest and Karan's party!. it seems that Karan's do is the second most favorite PARTY of our channels," Javed Akhtar had tweeted on Friday..
