Karan Johar in Bombay Velvet

He may have provided the perfect launch pad to many aspiring actors, but Karan Johar did not get a dream debut as far as his acting career was concerned. KJo, who made his full-fledged acting debut in Bombay Velvet (2015), had joked after the film's debacle, "Nobody has offered me any role till now. I think nobody liked me. I should at least get offers to refuse them. I can't cast myself in my own films."
