Karan Johar Gets HUGE Relief In Defamatory Case Against CarryMinati; Mumbai Court Restrains YouTuber From Posting Vulgar Content Against Filmmaker

A Mumbai court has issued an interim injunction restraining popular YouTuber Ajey Nagar, widely known as Carry Minati, along with Meta Platforms and other associated parties, from publishing or circulating any objectionable or defamatory content against filmmaker Karan Johar.

Mumbai Court Orders CarryMinati NOT To Publish Any Defamatory Content On Karan Johar

The order was passed on Monday, February 9, after Johar approached the court, objecting to a roast video uploaded on Ajey Nagar’s YouTube channel titled Coffee With Jalan. The video is allegedly inspired by his well-known talk show Koffee With Karan. It reportedly contained abusive language and derogatory comments targeting Bollywood nepotism, with specific references to Karan Johar.

After hearing the matter, Judge Pandurang Bhosale observed that the content appeared defamatory in nature and warranted immediate intervention. The court also issued John Doe orders, granting protection against unidentified individuals who may circulate or re-circulate the video across social media platforms.

What Did The Judge Order?

“Prima facie, it appears that Ajey Nagar and Deepak Char (manager of Carry Minati channel) have made defamatory statements and used vulgar language against the plaintiff. These videos need to be taken down immediately. There should be an injunction against all those who circulate and re-circulate these videos on social media platforms. This is a fit case to pass ad-interim injunction orders against the defendants,” Judge Bhosale said in the ad-interim order.

As part of the relief sought by Karan Johar, the court directed that the allegedly defamatory video be taken down. The order involves restraining the defendants from creating or sharing similar content until further orders.

Karan Johar’s Upcoming Film

Karan Johar is currently awaiting the release of his upcoming production, Accused, directed by Anubhuti Kashyap. The film stars Konkona Sen Sharma and Pratibha Ranta and is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on February 27.
