Karan Johar, known for his candid celebrity interviews on ‘Koffee with Karan,’ began the latest season by inviting the power couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. Their appearance was anticipated as fans expected the duo to spill some personal details about their love story and relationship journey.
During the show, Deepika Padukone mentioned that after meeting Ranveer Singh, she went on dates with other people. However, despite these dates, there wasn’t a definitive commitment between her and Ranveer initially. The couple admitted that they were not exclusively committed to each other at the onset of their relationship, even after starting to date. It was only after a certain period and their engagement that a firm commitment ensued. They reflected on their journey, revealing that they often circled back to each other despite seeing other people.
However, the reaction to this disclosure wasn’t entirely positive. Deepika faced significant trolling online for her statement about dating others during the early phase of her relationship with Ranveer. This negative feedback stirred quite a response from the audience and viewers, which caught Karan Johar’s attention.
In a later conversation with Aditya Roy Kapur and Arjun Kapoor, Karan expressed his disappointment at the backlash received for that episode. He felt it was one of the most honest and heartfelt episodes but was disheartened by the negative aftermath. He mentioned feeling angered by the criticism, especially as it revolved around personal aspects of the celebrities’ lives. Karan was notably upset by the comments and wanted to give a strong retort to those who criticized them without knowing the real story.
Moreover, Karan opened up about his own experiences dealing with online trolls. He revealed how he has been subjected to hurtful comments about his personal life, his choices in fashion, and even his family. This issue of online criticism and trolling hit him deeply, and he expressed his frustration during the conversation.
Despite the initial episode’s mixed response, the subsequent episodes of ‘Koffee with Karan’ managed to steer clear of any major controversies.
