After appearing on Karan Johar's talk show Koffee With Karan Season 8, Deepika Padukone received a lot of negative feedback. A certain section of the Internet started making fun of Deepika during the show.
Actress Huma Qureshi recently discussed her thoughts on Deepika's experiences with trolling in a podcast interview with All About Eve on AfterHours. "Ab kya bol sakte hai, [what can we say] ridiculous," said Huma. We are supposed to present a kind of palatable... I guess it is something they are expecting. I don't know what it is, I don't think anyone knows what it is.”
At the show, the actress revealed that until her now-husband Ranveer Singh proposed to her, they were allowed to see other people, but they always found their way back to each other because no one excited her more than him. Ranveer Singh was also present with Deepika in that episode.
Huma Qureshi continued: “We are in a trolling culture. Black pehna hai to troll karo, black nahi pehna hai to troll karo. [If someone is wearing black, troll them; if someone is not wearing black, troll them.] You know what I mean.”
During her appearance at Koffee With Karan Season 8, Deepika Padukone said, ''I wanted to be single for a while because I had come from difficult relationships. I was going through a phase where I said 'I just don't want to be attached, don't want to be committed'.
And I had fun! And then he came along, so I didn't commit, until he proposed to me. There was no 'commitment as such. Even if we were technically allowed to see other people, we would just keep coming back to each other.''
On the work front, Huma Qureshi will next be seen in the SonyLIV series Maharani Season 3. Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone's film Fighter is currently running in cinemas. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the movie features Hrithik Roshan in the male lead role.
