When Deepika Padukone reacted to media frenzy about Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif's unseen vacation pictures 

Katrina Kaif, now happily married to Vicky Kaushal since 2021, was once in a relationship with Ranbir Kapoor. Their romance blossomed while working together on Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, making them one of Bollywood's most talked-about couples at the time.

Their relationship became a major topic of discussion, especially after private photos from their secret Ibiza vacation surfaced online and went viral. The leaked images fueled debates on the growing paparazzi culture in India, particularly in Bollywood. Even Deepika Padukone, who had previously dated Ranbir Kapoor, addressed the issue during her appearance on Karan Johar’s talk show.

During an earlier episode of Koffee with Karan, Deepika Padukone shared her perspective on paparazzi culture, stating that while it has its downsides, it is still far more controlled in India compared to the West. Host Karan Johar then reminded her of a past interview where she had mentioned the need for celebrities to be more cautious and asked whether she believed Katrina Kaif had been careless in handling her privacy.

Addressing the question with poise, Deepika explained how statements often get taken out of context to fit a narrative that benefits those writing the story. She clarified that her remarks were in response to a general question about paparazzi culture and had nothing to do with any particular incident. The Kalki 2898 AD actress further emphasized that she had no right to comment on someone else's personal experiences, as every individual navigates these challenges in their own way.
