Deepika Padukone made several statements during her appearance on Koffee With Karan 8. In the episode, she revealed that until Ranveer Singh did not propose, they were allowed to see other people but always found their way back to each other because no one excited her more than he did. She also said that she wanted to be single for a while because she had come from difficult relationships. In an old clip from a previous season of Koffee With Karan, Deepika expressed her inability to understand the concept of casual dating and said that she was very afraid of investing emotionally in a relationship because she did not know how to date someone casually. This clip resurfaced on the internet after her appearance on Koffee With Karan 8, leading to mixed reactions online. Comedian and actor Vir Das reacted to the trolling by posting an indirect tweet in support of Deepika.
