The Gossip

Vir Das has come to the defense of Deepika Padukone after she faced criticism from trolls regarding her comment on casual dating during an episode of “Koffee with Karan.” In a recent social media post, Das expressed his support for Padukone, stating that it is important to respect individuals’ personal choices and maintain a sense of perspective when reacting to such statements. He highlighted the need to focus on more substantial issues rather than indulging in needless negativity. Das’ defense of Padukone reflects the importance of standing up against online harassment and emphasizing respect for personal opinions.

Vir Das deemed it necessary to’moment of silence’ for all men affected by Deepika Padukone’s casual dating remark in Koffee with Karan.

In the first episode of Koffee with Karan Season 8, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone discussed their relationship and marriage. However, internet comments on Deepika’s alleged relationship with ‘other people’ led to a meltdown, prompting actor-comedian Vir Das to respond.

Vir on his X account criticized Deepika Padukone for casually dating a Bollywood star out of their league, expressing frustration with the lack of commitment from their imaginary girlfriend.

Vir’s humorous comment on a Bollywood movie has sparked reactions from users, with some expressing disbelief and others questioning the meaning of the term ‘league’, implying it’s not for Indians.

Deepika, who had experienced difficult relationships, initially wanted to be single. She enjoyed the time and didn’t commit until her partner proposed. They didn’t have a commitment, and even if they were allowed to see each other, they would keep coming back to each other.

In the episode, Deepika asks Ranveer about her suitors, and Ranveer, annoyed, reveals that he was seeing other people but would return to Deepika. Deepika admits she can’t remember them, but Ranveer responds that she remembers them clearly.
