Johar expressed his disappointment at the constant attention and insults, that he wakes up to on Twitter every day. If the director was trying to send out a message to the trolls, they just haven't got the memo.

Credit to Johar, he refused to take the bait. However, he did pay the troll back in his own coin. Johar said, 'One of those mornings where you crave for silence.....and all you're surrounded by is baseless noise.....'

Hopefully, this would end the debate. After all the struggle with his films, stories and depression, the least Johar deserves is some peace and privacy.
