The first episode of Koffee With Karan 8 kicked off with a bang as DeepVeer fans being thrilled to see their favourite couple, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh coming together for the first time on the show and getting candid on the couch. Amid discussions about marriage, relationships, career, and other aspects of life, they also touched upon the low phase and depression which Deepika underwent in the year 2014. During the same, host Karan Johar confessed that he underwent a massive anxiety attack at the NMACC launch which was held in Mumbai in April 2023.
Describing about the low phase in his life which started during the three years of pandemic, Karan Johar revealed to Deepika Padukone that he now completely understands what she went through because of shared similar experiences. Opening up about the incident, Karan Johar said, "The three years post pandemic was quite tough. there was a lot of trolling. I was trying to be tough and resilient, brush things under the carpet. But the legit attack I had at the NMACC launch.” He went on to add how his Student Of The Year actor Varun Dhawan played a pivotal role in helping him. “Varun was staring at me and I was sweating, my face was full sweat, I didn’t even realize. He came to me, held my hand and he asked if 'I am okay'. My hands were shaking. He took me to an empty room and I started breathing heavily. I couldn't understand what it is! I was wondering if this was a cardiac arrest because I didn't know what I was going through.”
“I got out of my jacket which was long and elaborate. Within half hour I decided to go back home. I just went to my bed and I wept. I just cried and I didn't know why but I was crying. I called my psychologist the next day whom I have known and dealt before, and I asked her 'what do I do'. I am going through a tough time and I also have a film release coming up. We chatted about it and she put me on medication which I am on till now,” mentioned Karan Johar. The filmmaker also expressed that he was anxious that his mother is watching that episode. He immediately assured to everyone that he is ‘now okay’ and is taking care of his mental health.
His revelation left Ranveer Singh in shock and the actor couldn’t control the same, as he asked, “We met you Karan that day (at the NMACC launch).” Karan responded to Singh mentioning that they were busy that day with their performance during the time of the attack.
Karan Johar recently worked with Ranveer Singh in Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani, which also co-starred Alia Bhatt as the leading lady.
