Koffee with Karan 9: Sidharth Malhotra calls Karan Johar commitment-phobic
The discussion unfolded during the Koffee Shots segment, where Karan Johar gave the couple a series of situations and asked them to take a shot if they had experienced any of them. Similar to the game Never Have I Ever, the conversation gradually shifted towards relationships and Karan’s experiences as a single man.
After hearing some of Karan’s stories, Sidharth Malhotra jokingly questioned his approach to relationships, asking, “Why didn’t you make it a solid relationship? You think you have commitment phobia? I wanna say, in your last season of Koffee, Karan is the most commitment-phobic person I know.” Kiara Advani agreed with her husband, saying that his observation was true.
Responding to the remark, Karan defended himself and said, “I can commit to friendship, parenthood, but a relationship, I don’t like anybody who likes me.” He then laughed before explaining, “It comes from low self-esteem issues. The moment anybody says I am really into you. I want to spend time with you. I want to meet you. I am like, ‘Toodles!’”
During the same conversation, Sidharth Malhotra also discussed the criticism surrounding his film The Vvaan. He maintained that critics were simply performing their jobs, just as filmmakers were doing theirs. He added that audiences wanted to watch stories rooted in culture and narratives they could connect with.
