New Delhi: Karan Johar opened Season 8 of his popular celebrity chat show 'Koffee With Karan' by inviting real life actor couple Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone on the show. While the power couple was genuine and true to their personalities throughout, the episode received a harsh reaction from the audience who have been wondering if the actors' marriage is on the rocks. Show host Karan Johar has now reacted to the incessant trolling of the couple especially Deepika Padukone on social media.
In the latest episode of the show featuring Aditya Roy Kapur and Arjun Kapoor, Karan addressed the issue and said, "I felt that it was one of the most honest episodes and the most heartfelt episodes I did with Deepika and Ranveer. I think all three of kind of came clean on so much of our emotional heft, so many of our feelings. And then there was a ridiculous kind of aftereffect. I just want to put it out there that episode angered me, and the reaction angered me. I thought it was one of our best episodes. They were outstandingly honest. They were earnest. They spoke so much. They shared so much. They were so gracious. And then you're f*cking talking about some nonsense. I am like, ‘What do you know about somebody else’s personal life and marriage?' Tu apne ghar pe dekh na (Look at what's happening at your own home) is what I wanted to tell them. I wanted to show them my f*cking middle finger! I am like, you know, just shut up.”
This season, Deepika and Ranveer made an appearance together on the Koffee couch amidst allegations of a rift in their marriage. They discussed their romantic relationships, courtship, marriage, and the difficulties they faced. For the first time, they also shared exclusive footage from their wedding for the audience. Many people made fun of the episode, claiming that it was an attempt to mend the rift in their marriage.
