Karan Johar has talked about 'offenders', who reach late for meetings in a new post on punctuality.

Karan captioned the post, "So… The wonderful thing about punctuality is that it doesn’t require a natural talent , a degree or even a parental or an employers sanction… It’s NOT an art form that we inherit through generations… It’s simple basic manners… respect for other people’s time and therefore respecting them as well…. Pure unadulterated respect…"

He also added, "Landing up 15 minutes late without a murmur of an apology or an overcompensating happy visage reeks of entitlement and defensiveness… Messaging 'on my way'…. Doesn’t get you off the hook either…. 'On my way'…. So ??? You are meant to be… you ain’t doing me any favours honey! And you sending me this message sans details is as ambiguous as a Nolan film…"

"Then the worst! 'Oh… I forgot!!!!' why Mr president ???? Running a country that keeps you so busy ??? Then the ever poplar one…” too much traffic “ …. Do you live in New Zealand??? No this is INDIA…. Check the populations status baby! We are densely populated…. So here’s what you do… LEAVE EARLY!!!!! The very, very worst one is when they don’t show up and don’t even send a message with a grovelling apology! This last sect of time offenders must me struck off your list forever…." concluded Karan.

Reacting to the post, Farah Khan Ali wrote, "Totally agree with you Karan, but please tell who is this person." A fan commented, "It’s okay we’ll find out on the next season of Koffee With Karan…" A person said, "We need to know who this person is." A comment read, "I am so curious as toh who reached late!" "Damn KJo, who pi***d you off??" asked a person. "Ooooh who’s pi***d you off Mr Johar!!! Meeeeoooww," said an Instagram user.

"Who hurt your feelings," asked a fan. "About whom do you write this sir...?" asked another person. "I wonder who was late today," wrote an Instagram user. A few of the people wondered if the post was directed at Kartik Aryan. A fan said, "Kartik Aryan is finished." "Why do I feel it's directed towards @kartikaaryan ???" read another comment.
