Karan Johar Gives a Strong Response to Trolling of Rashmika and Vijay

Actress Rashmika Mandanna and actor Vijay Deverakonda recently appeared together on Koffee With Karan for the first time as a married couple. However, some of their conversations and Vijay’s comments on the show attracted criticism and trolling on social media. Responding to the backlash, the show’s host, Karan Johar, came out in support of the couple and questioned those commenting on their relationship. He said everyone had the right to express an opinion, but nobody had the authority to dictate how a couple should behave or manage their relationship. “Who are you? Are you their counsellor, lawyer or family member?” he asked, criticising those who tried to interfere in their personal lives.

Karan also expressed displeasure over the involvement of the couple’s family members in the online criticism. He said people could share their opinions about celebrities but should not insult or drag their families into controversies. “The people sitting on the couch were not their family members,” he remarked, emphasising that the couple’s personal relationships should be respected. Karan also recalled the criticism faced by Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh after their appearance on the eighth season of Koffee With Karan. He said the couple had openly spoken about their relationship and questioned why being honest about one’s personal life was being treated negatively. Karan’s comments have once again brought the discussion about celebrity privacy and online trolling into focus.
