What's up with filmmaker Karan Johar's Instagram? With a following of 17.5 million, his posts have always been relatable, ranging from interactions with his adorable kids, to his two cents on different things. As of Thursday evening, he has been on an unfollowing spree, the reasons still being unclear.
Karan Johar is still following Priyanka Chopra on Instagram.

He has unfollowed, among others, actor and close friend Shah Rukh Khan, Ananya Panday, Kartik Aaryan and close buddy, designer Manish Malhotra. Interestingly, he is still following actor Priyanka Chopra. His ‘following’ count stands at 78 currently.
Even other friends Kareena Kapoor Khan, Malaika Arora, his proteges Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt don't figure on the list of people he is following. We reached out to Karan, but he is yet to comment on the reason behind this.
Meanwhile on the professional front, Karan's latest production Chand Mera Dil has been a lukewarm affair at the box office. The Lakshya-Ananya Panday starrer opened to mixed reviews as well from critics. Lined up next is Naagzilla, starring Kartik Aaryan.
Rishabh Suri is an Assistant Editor, film critic, and professional overthinker of plot points. He writes for HT City, keeping pace with an industry where news cycles expire long before the popcorn gets cold. He completed his graduation in English Honours from Kirori Mal College, followed by a Master’s degree in English Literature-effectively training his brain to over-analyse classic texts before applying those exact same skills to 3-hour Bollywood blockbusters. He got into the profession when he had barely graduated from college and has been at HT ever since. At HT, Rishabh reviews films with a simple rule: skip the dense academic jargon and get straight to the point. Beyond reviews, as Assistant Editor, he helps navigate the broader circus of showbiz, tracking everything from OTT shifts to sudden box office panics. In a beat driven by loud PR machinery and carefully scripted answers, Rishabh prefers cutting through the noise to focus on how stories get made and why trends shift. When he isn’t writing against a deadline, he is usually sitting in a dark theater, compulsively memorising dialogues. For Rishabh, analysing movies isn't just a day job- it’s a habit he couldn't turn off even if he tried.
