NEW DELHI: Shah Rukh Khan jumped to Karan Johar's defense after the filmmaker found himself at the receiving end of brutal trolling on Twitter after he appeared to 'like' a tweet comparing Kesari and Zero's collection figures recently. Shah Rukh's tweet was not without his signature sense of humour and said: "I hate clarifications on social media. Karan Johar is technologically challenged but has other good qualities like his taste in clothes!? Just like Life, Twitter doesn't come with instructions, so mistakes are natural... and also he has fat fingers. Go easy all, Make love not war... its more fun."

Karan Johar's explanation of the matter evaluated it to be a "technical problem" while "#ShameOnKaranJohar" quickly made it to the list of top trends on Twitter India after netizens pointed out that a tweet which refers to Shah Rukh Khan in offensive terms have been listed under Karan Johar's 'liked' tweets. "Guys having a technical problem with my twitter account! Strange things are going on! From uploading shoe picture and gibberish to liking tweets I haven't even read and would never even acknowledge! Please bear with me and I apologise for any inconvenience! Sorting it out asap," tweeted KJo.

Plugging in a reference to the new song from Kalank, KJo also tweeted: "Aaj twitter pe thodi gadbad ho gayi but baaki sab firstclass hai."

The tweet is no longer available on Karan Johar's timeline but fans of Shah Rukh Khan are sharing screenshots to troll the 46-year-old filmmaker. The tweet in question claims that half-day collections of Akshay Kumar's recent release Kesari turned out to be higher than that of Shah Rukh Khan's Zero and follows it up with offensive comments which are too vile to be reproduced here.

Here's are just a few of the barrage of tweets that's made Karan Johar trend on Twitter on Friday. "This man has lost all the respect I had for him," read a tweet referencing Karan Johar.

Shah Rukh Khan starred in Karan Johar's debut film as a director Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, which made the SRK-KJo combo a super hit favourite amongst movie-buffs. KJo has also directed Shah Rukh in films such as Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and My Name Is Khan. Shah Rukh also had a cameo in Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
