Filmmaker Karan Johar shared a long post on punctuality in the wee hours of Monday and called out those who arrive late for meetings. Sharing an image with the word 'punctuality' written against a black background, Karan said that being punctual is 'simple basic manners'.
His post read, ‘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 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…’
Concluding his post, Karan Johar wrote, ‘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….’
Several fans and friends reacted to the post. Jewellery designer Farah Khan Ali wrote, ‘Totally agree with you Karan, but please tell who is this person.’
On the work front, Karan Johar is now awaiting the release of his directorial ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’, starring Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi, and Jaya Bachchan in the lead roles. The film marks his return as a director after 2016 film ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’.
