Back in October 2023, the opening episode of Koffee With Karan Season 8 had brought Bollywood’s most adored couple, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, together on the couch for their first-ever joint interview post-marriage. Their candid confessions on love, commitment, and evolving as partners struck a chord with many– but not everyone responded with the same warmth. Some netizens harshly trolled the couple for Deepika’s honesty about the early days of their relationship.
Addressing the controversy surrounding Deepika and Ranveer’s episode, which aired in October 2023, Karan firmly stood by the couple and their sincerity. “I think they spoke from their heart. I thought they were honest. I think (the backlash) was ridiculous, I’m sorry. I don’t agree with the reaction.”
Married at Lake Como in Italy in 2019, Deepika and Ranveer continue to be one of the industry’s most admired pairs. Their appearance on Koffee With Karan gave audiences an unfiltered look into their love, navigating complexities and growth as partners.
On the professional front, Karan’s most recent production, Kesari Chapter 2, starred Akshay Kumar, Ananya Panday, and R. Madhavan.
