I go to award ceremonies for award or money: KJo

Mumbai, Dec 24 : Filmmaker Karan Johar says he attends award ceremonies to either receive awards or money.There are a few Bollywood actors who have taken a stand against award ceremonies. Asked about it, Karan said at the 62nd Jio Filmfare Awards 2017 conference here on Friday: "In our industry, there are only a handful people who have taken a stand against it. People like Aamir Khan and Kangana Ranaut don t come to award ceremonies at all. "I have not taken any stand nor do I want to because I am going to award ceremonies for either award or money. The reason I come to Filmfare is to be a part of history."He believes the spirits of people are dampened because there are so many award shows. "So their validity and integrity, sometimes becomes doubtful... whether it s the real deal or not. But people do watch them. A majority of people watch such ceremonies on television because channels are huge, TRPs are massive, people want to see stars and do believe the show also. "So we are in a confusion whether to empower those award ceremonies or stay away from them," said Karan.
