'Kindness was once a virtue': Did Karan Johar take a dig at Elvish Yadav for his remarks on nepotism?

Filmmaker Karan Johar, who is known for his witty remarks, recently grabbed attention with a cryptic post about kindness. Taking to social media, he wrote, "Kindness was once a virtue. Now it's a limited edition emotion. It's never in stock and there are way too many replicas."
Many believe this post is a response to popular YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav, who seemingly took a jab at Karan during a recent podcast. In the viral clip, Elvish, while discussing nepotism in Bollywood with Ankita Lokhande and Vicky Jain, made a sarcastic remark, saying, "Karan Johar ko aisa mat bolo (Don't say that about Karan Johar)." Ankita, however, defended Karan, arguing that favoritism exists across the industry and is not limited to him.
Meanwhile, Karan recently announced the Bollywood debut of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s son, Ibrahim Ali Khan. His first film, Nadaaniyan, will premiere digitally and feature Khushi Kapoor as the female lead. Directed by debutant Shauna Gautam, the romantic drama also stars Mahima Chaudhary, Suniel Shetty, Dia Mirza, and Jugal Hansraj.
The young adult romantic drama is about Piya, a bold and spirited girl from South Delhi, and Arjun, a determined middle-class boy from Noida. As their two completely different worlds collide, they embark on a journey filled with mischief, heart, and the sweet messiness of first love.
While the release date of Nadaaniyan is yet to be revealed, Karan Johar’s social media post continues to spark discussions about its possible hidden meaning.
