He said the show was on the lines of an American show. The duo —Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor — agreed to be a part of the show, after hearing the script and said the money should be given to charity,” said an official from the Tardeo police. “Joshi said the AIB team decided to get Karan Johar on board after watching his popular television show. He also provided documents and agreements regarding the donation for charity,” he added.

The Groping Charges A year before the MeToo movement even began in India, Joshi was accused of groping a girl. She shared her trauma in a post that was deleted later. A part of the post read, “I met Rohan at a bar in Mumbai about a year back, he started to flirt with me and tbh I was awestruck just by the fact that a celebrity found me so pretty. So when later he asked if he could drop me home I said yes. When we reached my home he tried to kiss me, when I refused and pushed him back he started shouting and abusing me saying ‘how dare I refuse him!?’ I started crying then so he calmed down and apologised. But just as I was about to get out of the car he groped my boobs and said ‘f*** off s***’ This experience left me petrified.” Joshi denied the allegations and stated, “I would like to state categorically that this did not happen. I am open and willing, and even urge @MumbaiPolice to investigate this." The anonymous girl also clarified later true incident never occurred: [caption id=“attachment_11319691” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] Rohan Joshi[/caption] The Post on Raju Srivastava [caption id=“attachment_11319701” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] Rohan Joshi and Raju Srivastava[/caption] When actor and comedian Raju Srivastava passed away on September 21, this is what Joshi wrote, “We haven’t lost a thing. Whether it was Kamra whether it was roast or any comic in the news, Raju Srivastava took every opportunity he ever got to s**t on newer comics especially after the new wave of stand up started. He went on every f***all news channel every time he was invited to go s*** on an upcoming arty form and call it offensive just because he couldn’t understand it and new stars were rising. He might have told a few good jokes but he understood nothing about the spirit of comedy or defending someone’s right to say something even if you don’t agree. F**k him and good riddance (sic).” This was met with severe backlash. He later deleted that comment and clarified in another comment that read- “Yehi soch kar delete kiya kyuki after a minute of anger I realised today is not about my personal feelings. Sorry if it hurt and thanks for the perspective.” Read all the  Latest News ,  Trending News ,  Cricket News ,  Bollywood News ,  India News  and  Entertainment News  here.
