In October 2023, the first episode of Koffee With Karan Season 8 featured Bollywood’s beloved couple, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. It was their first joint interview since getting married, and fans were excited to see them together on the famous Koffee couch. The couple opened up about their love, relationship journey, and how they’ve grown together. While many people loved their honesty, not everyone reacted kindly. Some social media users trolled Deepika for her comments about the early days of their relationship.
Recently, Karan Johar appeared on Raj Shamani’s podcast, where he spoke about the backlash to that particular episode. When asked if he regrets any episodes of Koffee With Karan, Karan made it clear that the show is carefully edited and reviewed before it airs. He said, “Everything that goes on air has been cleared. If a guest wants to cut something out, I respect their request.”
Talking specifically about Deepika and Ranveer’s episode, Karan strongly supported the couple. “They spoke from their heart,” he said. “I thought they were honest, and the trolling they received was just ridiculous. I don’t agree with the reaction at all.”
Karan went on to praise their relationship. “They were truly in love. They are a wonderful couple, and I know them personally. Now they even have a beautiful daughter. People should respect their love story and not judge them. That’s all I want to say.”
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh got married in 2018 at Lake Como in Italy. Over the years, they’ve become one of Bollywood’s most admired and talked-about couples. Their appearance on Koffee With Karan gave fans a rare and honest look into their relationship, including the ups and downs they’ve faced as a couple.
Karan Johar’s defense of Deepika and Ranveer sends an important message, especially in today’s world where celebrities are often judged harshly online. Social media can be quick to criticize, but behind the fame and glamour are real people with real emotions. Karan’s comments remind us that kindness and respect are more important than harsh opinions.
On the work front, Karan Johar recently produced Kesari Chapter 2, which starred Akshay Kumar, Ananya Panday, and R. Madhavan. The film has been gaining attention, but Karan continues to stand up for what he believes in—both as a filmmaker and as a friend.
At a time when everything goes viral and is open to judgment, Karan’s support for Deepika and Ranveer is a strong reminder that love and honesty deserve appreciation, not hate.
