New Delhi: Deepika Padukone faced criticism after revealing details about her personal life on Koffee with Karan, so Twinkle Khanna stepped up to defend her. When Deepika Padukone and her actor husband Ranveer Singh appeared on this season of the Karan Johar-hosted show, they discussed their marriage in depth. 

Deepika revealed in the show that although she and Ranveer were free to date other people at first, they continued to return to one another. Twinkle stated that Deepika was being criticized because she refused to "fall at the feet of the first moustached suitor hanging around her" in her Times of India article.

"On Koffee with Karan, Deepika managed to outrage uncles, aunties, and an entire lot of India’s not-so-eligible bachelors by confessing that unlike her reel self, she did not swoon and fall at the feet of the first moustached suitor hanging around her. Instead, she had dated other men while also dating her future husband. The trolling she has received because of her admission is baffling. In fact, it has gone as far as students at Banaras Hindu University reportedly putting on a play where a girl plays Deepika and male students act as her past boyfriends," Twinkle wrote.

"Her approach to finding a suitable partner though is rather logical. Suppose you want to buy a couch, wouldn’t you go to the store to figure out which one feels nice and bouncy, which has a comfortable backrest and which fabric doesn’t make your skin itch? But when it comes to the couch potato whom you have to snuggle against, you are expected to just pick one without testing out alternatives," she added.

On Koffee With Karan season 8, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone spoke about their relationship. 

“I wanted to be single for a while because I had come 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,” Deepika said.
