Farah Khan Claps Back at Trolls Over Aayush Sharma ‘Snub’ Clip

Veteran filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan has emphatically dismissed claims suggesting she and her long-time friend, Karan Johar, intentionally ignored actor Aayush Sharma at a recent movie premiere, calling the speculative chatter “nonsense.”

The controversy erupted following the star-studded premiere of Johar’s production, ‘Homebound’, where a short video clip from the red carpet went viral across social media platforms. The clip, often slowed down and highlighted by various fan pages, showed Farah Khan and Karan Johar walking past Aayush Sharma—who was posing for the paparazzi—apparently without acknowledging his presence. This quickly led to widespread speculation and trolling that the duo had snubbed Salman Khan’s brother-in-law.

Farah Khan, known for her candid and no-nonsense demeanor, quickly took to the comments section of one of the viral posts to set the record straight and put an end to the rumour mill.

In a direct response to the allegations, the filmmaker clarified the situation, stating, “Pls stop writing nonsense.. i can never ignore anyone.. least of all Ayush.. just shot a vlog with him n Arpita.. just didn’t see him in all the rush.. making it slow motion just to make it look bad?”

Her clarification emphasized that the perceived ‘snub’ was purely accidental, a result of the chaotic and fast-paced nature of a crowded red carpet event where she was engrossed in conversation with Karan Johar. To further dismiss any notion of animosity, Farah referenced her recent collaboration with the actor and his wife, Arpita Khan Sharma, confirming their warm relationship by mentioning the cooking vlog they had recently filmed together.

The incident highlights the increasing scrutiny celebrities face at public events, where momentary distractions or minor missed interactions can be magnified and twisted into baseless controversies by social media users.

Aayush Sharma, who is married to Salman Khan’s sister Arpita, is currently focused on his career, having recently been seen in films like ‘Antim: The Final Truth’ and ‘Ruslaan’. Meanwhile, Farah Khan has successfully ventured into the digital space, enjoying immense popularity with her light-hearted vlogging series featuring her cook, Dilip, which has become a major hit with audiences.
