Four guests - among them actress Kareena Kapoor - at a dinner the filmmaker held at his Mumbai home on December 8 have tested positive and there has been criticism of the gathering being held amid the Omicron scare. In his statement, Karan Johar said that his dinner for eight guests could not be called a "party" and denied that his home was a COVID "hotspot."

All four women were guests at Karan Johar's dinner and are believed to be fully vaccinated.
