Mumbai, Sep 1 : Filmmaker Karan Johar announced that he has penned a book for children inspired by his twins and his experience of parenting, only to become a subject of fresh trolling on social media.
Titled "The Big Thoughts Of Little Luv", the book was announced on Instagram and Twitter with a clip by Johar, who has avoided social media amid massive trolling after the demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, which reignited the nepotism debate in the industry.
Johar, who has often been accused of championing nepotism and favouritism in Bollywood, has restricted comments on his posts on Instagram since then.
"Am excited to share something special with all of you....my first picture book for kids ..#thebigthoughtsoflittleLUV! Coming soon!!!! Thank you @twinklerkhanna for putting me in touch with the wonderful @chikisarkar," wrote Johar along with a video featuring his twins Yash and Roohi, with messages about the contents of the book.
