Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone appeared together in the fourth season of the popular show, Koffee With Karan, hosted by Karan Johar. Deepika has always been secretive about her relationship with Ranveer Singh, and when Karan Johar probed her about the same in his show, she smiled and said nothing. However, our desi girl jumped to Deepika's defence and said that it is normal for actors to keep some aspects of their lives private.
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh dated for six years before tying the knot in 2018, and the duo embraced parenthood in September, 2024. The couple never failed to express their love publicly, however, they remained secretive during their early days of dating. The Ram-Leela actors chose to be silent about their feelings for one another, which became the topic of discussion in the fourth season of Koffee With Karan.
When KJo mentioned that Deepika chose not to flaunt her relationship with Ranveer during their dating phase, Priyanka Chopra couldn’t stop herself from defending her co-actress in Bajirao Mastani. Where Deepika didn’t clarify anything, the Mary Kom actress commented:
“Because some people like to keep it private. Some people don’t want to become a dinner table conversation. I am not defending her, but I mean, she has a right. If 90 percent of her life is for public, 10 percent needs to be hers.”
Karan Johar’s show always garners attention due to its candid conversations with Bollywood celebrities, during which he is frequently seen probing into their personal lives. As Priyanka Chopra showed girlhood and stood up for Deepika, she schooled Karan about respecting celebrities’ boundaries and private lives. Her words stressed on the drawbacks of being a famous personality and the need to have some ‘me time’.
However, Karan didn’t stop and asked Priyanka whether she knew about Deepika and Ranveer’s relationship. The Don 2 actress didn’t comment further and said that it was Deepika’s decision to share the details.
