A comment made by Bollywood director Karan Johan about actress Nayanthara in his recent show with Samantha and Akshay Kumar, has irked the fans of the “Aramm” actress. When Samantha recognized Nayanthara as the top heroine in south Indian film industry, Karan said that she is not in her list. The statement from KaranJohar didn’t go well among the fans of the Lady Super star who are calling him out through the micro blogging social media site.

The latest episode of “Koffee with Karan 7”, featured superstars Akshay Kumar and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. During the episode, the show’s host Karan Johar asked Samantha whom she sees as the biggest female actor in the South. Referring to her “Kaathu Vaakula Rendu” Kaadhal co-star, Samantha said “Well, I just did a film with Nayanthara who is the biggest heroine in the south” to which Karan Joham immediately replied “Well, not as far as my list” and went on to refer a list made by Ormax media which listed Samantha as the number one heroine in the entire country.
