Karan Johar has been candid about his personal life more than once on the current season of Koffee With Karan. Koffee With Karan season 8 started with Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone as guests. Their wedding video was specially unveiled on the chat show, moving Karan to tears. He then spoke about longing for such love and a life partner in his life.

The 51-year-old filmmaker recently interacted with the media about KWK 8, where he explained why he is more open to talking about his singlehood now. "People tend to judge you by the impression they have of you, but nobody knows the real person behind any of the projected intent of that social, public figure. We put out a version of ourselves when we give an interview or promote a film, we protect our vulnerabilities. Then at one point in time, you grow older, wiser you evolve and you feel that sharing a piece of your life is not as scary as it used to be," he said.
