Karan Johar vents about punctuality on Instagram, says, ‘It’s simple basic manners, respect other people’s time’ – Times of India

Karan Johar seemed to be in a fiery mood on Sunday night when he penned a lengthy note about punctuality on Instagram. The filmmaker seemed to be schooling someone who had recently upset him for being fashionably late and unapologetic about it.
“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…” shared the filmmaker.

Karan Johar went on to slam the various excuses that people give for arriving late. He wrote, “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… 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 …..#saynototardy.”

Netizens were left wondering who the filmmaker was referring to in his cryptic note.
