10 Nov
Summary
- Karan Johar criticizes online "relationship policing" of celebrity couples.
- He defended Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Vijay Deverakonda, Rashmika Mandanna.
- Johar called the intense scrutiny of celebrity personal lives "regressive".
Director Karan Johar has voiced strong opposition to the online trolling directed at celebrity couples, particularly Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone and Vijay Deverakonda-Rashmika Mandanna. These actors faced significant backlash after their personal lives were discussed on Johar's talk show, "Koffee With Karan." Johar described the intense scrutiny and unsolicited advice from the public as "downright regressive."
In a recent interview, Johar questioned the public's right to police celebrity relationships, stating, "Who are you? Are you a counsellor?" He defended the honesty of couples like Ranveer and Deepika, who shared details about their past dating lives, emphasizing that transparency should be appreciated, not judged.
Johar also condemned the practice of involving family members in online debates and highlighted the pervasive nature of "clickbait culture." He urged commentators to respect personal boundaries, comparing the constant online analysis to film criticism. Ultimately, he affirmed that both Vijay and Rashmika, and Ranveer and Deepika, are happy couples.
The next episode of "Koffee With Karan" Season 9, featuring Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani, is set to premiere on October 12. Episodes stream Wednesdays on JioHotstar.
