Karan Johar reacts to Deepika, Ranveer getting trolled after ‘Koffee With Karan 8’ episode

Filmmaker Karan Johar recently voiced about the controversy surrounding Bollywood actors Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone after their statements on ‘Koffee With Karan 8’ in a live Instagram session. During the episode, the couple had even shared their wedding film.

Karan Johar addressed the hate directed towards Deepika and Ranveer following their appearance on the recent ‘Koffee With Karan’ season 8 episode. He dismissed the trolls, stating that their comments were going nowhere. “Do what you need to do because no one’s looking,” Karan said. HE emphasized that no one is paying attention to them. “Trolling gets your nowhere. You are landing nowhere,” he remarked, taking a direct shot at trolls.

Nevertheless, Karan acknowledged constructive criticism and even assured the fans of the necessary changes in the upcoming episodes.

The controversy began after Deepika Padukone hinted at an open relationship with Ranveer Singh prior to their engagement. Ranveer faced scrutiny for his reaction to Deepika’s admission of not remembering who she was dating when they first met.

On social media, several people targeted Deepika for revealing that she went on dates with other men even after meeting Ranveer Singh. The couple clarified that they were not together at that moment. Deepika expressed her feelings, stating that she felt connected to Ranveer and would always return to him. However, some people took only a part of her statement and began trolling her. Actor and stand-up comedian Vir Das took a stand in support of DP.

In the first episode of ‘Koffee with Karan 8,’ Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh shared details about their love story. Deepika explained, “I wanted to be single for a while because I had come out from difficult relationships. I was going through a phase where I said, ‘I just don’t want to be attached, don’t want to be committed.’ And I had fun! And then he comes along, so I didn’t commit, until he proposed to me. There was no ‘commitment as such. Even if we were technically allowed to see other people, we would just keep coming back to each other.”

This led to many people on social media trolling her, claiming that she admitted to being in an open relationship and that the couple were in a ‘situationship.’
