Karan Johar’s Selfie With Ma Anand Sheela Praised As Well As Slammed!

Filmmaker Karan Johar’s photograph with Ma Anand Sheela, secretary of the late godman Bhagwan Rajneesh, popularly known as Osho, has raised eyebrows on social media.

Karan had shared a selfie with her on Instagram, terming her “fun” and “fabulous”, shortly after he interviewed her at an event in Gurugram last month.

“Interviewing #maanandsheela was an experience! She is fun forthright and fabulous! Dodging every answer in her inimitable fashion! She is controversial without revealing a thing! Now that’s an art! She is witty and never at a wits end! Thanks for the help @shakunbatra,” he captioned the image.

The story of Ma Sheela gained popularity after the success of the documentary “Wild Wild Country”, which charted the growth of Osho’s community from India to setting up a cult in Oregon in the US. It highlighted the role Ma Anand Sheela played in the growth of the community, before its downfall.

Karan’s friends and colleague from Bollywood like Alia Bhatt, Ananya Panday, Soni Razdan and Vishal Dadlani congratulated him on his meeting and interviewing her.
