Koffee With Karan Season 8, starring Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, sparked widespread criticism and trolling. People are astonished by the intense condemnation. They scrutinize the actors’ dating history and downplay the importance of mental health. Some even accuse them of repeating old statements from previous seasons. This online backlash has reached an unprecedented level.
Karan Johar Addresses the Trolling
In a recent Instagram live session, Karan Johar, the show’s host and filmmaker, addressed the tumultuous online chatter and had a message for trolls. He asked fans for feedback on his show and work commitments. Karan urged social media users to be courteous and objective when expressing criticism. He also reminded those spreading hate that their actions won’t make a difference. In his words, the filmmaker of “Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani” said, “Keep your criticism constructive. If you want to troll us, go ahead, but no one’s paying attention.”
Karan Johar’s Perspective
Drawing from his own experiences as a public figure subjected to relentless trolling, Karan underscored the futility of such negative behaviour and its lack of purpose. He emphasized that trolling achieves nothing and urged individuals to realize that their actions hold no sway over the destiny of those they target. Karan expressed, “Trolling gets you nowhere. You are landing nowhere. You’re filling and brimming your heart with negativity but landing nowhere because what’s gonna happen will happen to the people you’re trolling. If they’re gonna meet success, they will. If they’re gonna fail, they will. It has nothing to do with you.”
In the midst of this sea of negativity, Karan Johar took a moment to commend those who choose to disengage from the toxic chatter and maintain a positive outlook. He praised the proponents of positivity, acknowledging that positivity is the key to personal success. In his parting words, Karan offered, “For all those who are consistently being positive, more power to you because positivity is the key to your own success.”
Koffee With Karan Season 8 is now available for streaming on Disney+Hotstar, with new episodes premiering every Thursday from midnight, 12 am onwards.
