Karan Johar has finally voiced his disagreement with celebrities arriving late for shoots. In a cryptic note on Instagram, the filmmaker reacted strongly to the trend of not being punctual and not feeling apologetic about reaching late to work. Sharing the importance of punctuality, he slammed those who end up making excuses for not arriving on a given time.
He wrote on Instagram, "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…Landing up 15 minutes late without a murmur of an apology or an overcompensating happy visage reeks of entitlement and defensiveness …."
He added, "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….
The filmmaker then said, "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."
We hope Karan's statement motivates people to 'leave early' and understand the importance of punctuality.
