Karan Johar Defends DP-Ranveer Singh, Slams Trolls: "Wanted to Show Them My Middle Finger."

Karan Johar kicked off the latest season of Koffee with Karan on a high note by featuring Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, who candidly delved into their love story and relationship, revealing details previously undisclosed to the public. However, the episode received a less-than-positive response from netizens, particularly targeting Deepika for admitting to dating others after meeting Ranveer. In the recent episode with Aditya Roy Kapur and Arjun Kapoor, Karan expressed his frustration, stating that despite considering it one of the most "honest and heartfelt" episodes ever, the aftermath was "ridiculous."

In a conversation with Aditya Roy Kapur and Arjun Kapoor, Karan conveyed his disappointment, deeming the episode as one of the most "honest and heartfelt" but lamenting the "ridiculous" response it received. He explained that the negative reactions angered him, given the couple's outstanding honesty, earnestness, and graciousness in sharing intimate details. Karan defended the authenticity of the episode, expressing his frustration with critics who commented on personal aspects of Deepika and Ranveer's marriage, urging them to introspect before passing judgment on someone else's life.

In the featured episode, Deepika and Ranveer openly discussed the initial phase of their relationship, revealing that there was no exclusive commitment at the outset. Despite meeting more than a decade ago during the filming of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s "Ram-Leela," Deepika disclosed that their engagement marked the formal commitment in their relationship. She highlighted that, although technically permitted to date others, they inevitably gravitated back to each other. The couple, now married for five years, emphasized the evolution of their connection over time.

In the most recent episode, Karan discussed experiencing "sexuality shaming" from online trolls and expressed how deeply hurtful some of the comments can be. He revealed, "They delve into discussions about my sexuality, criticize my role as a single parent, mention my children, and that's truly infuriating. They even question my mother's parenting skills, insinuating she didn't raise me well enough to make such decisions. I mean, who are these people?" Karan also shared his experiences with body-shaming trolls who frequently criticize his fashion choices. Following the debut episode featuring Deepika and Ranveer, this season of Koffee with Karan has predominantly remained free from controversies.
