Everyone in Bollywood knows how filmmaker Karan Johar and designer Manish Malhotra are very close friends.

But today, the internet went crazy as the designer liked a comment made by a fan on a picture where both Manish and Karan were seen standing together. 

The fan wrote 'You guys are the cutest couple' which was apparently liked by the designer. And since then, Karan and Manish’s relationship rumour caught fire.

According to news sources, Manish has now broken his silence on the issue. Refuting the rumours, Manish has called Karan his brother. He addressed the rumours and called the whole charade just ridiculous.

Manish and Karan have been BFFs for over 25 years now. Karan hasn’t commented on the rumours yet. 

Last year, Karan threw a grand bash for Malhotra as he turned 50. The filmmaker celebrated his 46th birthday in New York last week. After he returns to India, he is expected to begin work on his next directorial venture.
