The advertisement got netizens furious and he got to be at the centre of their anger. Some felt the whole concept offensive whereas other called out KJo for being the 'brand manager for elitism'. 




In the clipping, Karan said, "Hum ek baar jeete hai, ek baar marte hai. Aur shaadi bhi ek hi baar karte hai. Isliye, bahot zaruri hai ki life partner ka decision humara correct ho. Aur yeh aasan nahi hai, especially for highly-educated. Kyunki agar aap highly educated ho toh aap age, caste, height, vagera dekhne se pehle, ek partner me mental compatibility dhundte ho."
