Filmmaker Karan Johar takes a week-long digital detox, stepping away from Instagram and social media. Read about his break, Oscars disappointment for Homebound, and more.
Renowned filmmaker Karan Johar has announced that he will be taking a short break from social media, calling it a “digital detox.” The announcement comes shortly after his production Homebound missed out on the Oscars shortlist.
Early on Tuesday, Karan Johar took to Instagram Stories to share a brief note with his followers. He wrote, “Digital detox for a week. No doom scrolling! No DMs! No posts! May the universe give me the strength to stay away.”
This isn’t the first time Karan has distanced himself from online platforms. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he had quit Twitter, citing the toxic environment on the platform. While he remained active on Instagram, he has now decided to take a short pause from all social media activity.

Standing Up for Friends Amid Social Media Trolling
Karan Johar is known for being vocal on social media, especially when defending his close friends. Last week, he criticized online trolls targeting actor Varun Dhawan ahead of the release of Border 2. Praising Varun’s performance, Karan wrote on Instagram, “Has to be said… the reason why it’s called a virtual world! Real will always score and prove the noise on social media as defunct! You can troll an artist for his smile but then he laughs when the film releases to packed houses and he receives pure authentic audience love! So noisemakers and clickbait seeking content creators can do what they like … truth will always prevail!”
Homebound and the Oscars Journey
Karan Johar’s home production Homebound, directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, was India’s official entry for the Oscars last year. Despite making it to the shortlist, the film failed to secure a spot in the top 5 nominations. The movie stars Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa, and Janhvi Kapoor, and has been widely appreciated for its storytelling and performances.
While Homebound faced disappointment at the Oscars, Karan Johar’s digital detox highlights his focus on mental well-being and the need to disconnect from the pressures of social media. Fans are wishing him strength and hoping he returns with renewed energy after his week-long break.
