So how do you get back at trolls in the most awesome way? Hijack it and turn it on its head. That’s exactly what King Khan did after Karan Johar wrote about trolls who spouted hate at him.
Karan Johar wrote a blog on Thursday about being trolled on Twitter-trolls mainly directed at his sexuality.
In his column on NDTV titled "Karan Affairs: Dear trolls, You don’t get me, never will”, he took hateful trolls head on and gave back almost as good as he got. Read the blog here.
There was an outpouring of sympathy and support for Johar. Probably the best of them all was King Khan who said:
@karanjohar u ‘G** Ma******’.Ur sensitivity,drive & ur talent makes me say u truly ‘Got Machismo’ more than most.But BlueSteel is pushin it!

Dear @karanjohar . Don't change one thing. Not the pout. Not the humour. Certainly, NEVER the way you call 'em out! https://t.co/2CFphdgGru

And so it was, that Karan Johar had the last laugh. And the one after that.
