I think all three of us 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 the episode angered me, and the reaction angered me. I thought it was one of our best episodes.”

Karan continued, expressing frustration with the social media trolling directed at Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. He emphasized the couple’s outstanding honesty, earnestness, and graciousness during the episode. Johar lashed out at the critics, saying, “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.”
