Vijay Deverakonda Responds to Trolls After Koffee With Karan Appearance With Rashmika: ‘Needs Subtitles’

Actor Vijay Deverakonda has seemingly responded to social media criticism following his recent appearance with wife Rashmika Mandanna on Koffee With Karan 9. After the couple opened up about their relationship, marriage and professional collaborations, several internet users began scrutinising Vijay’s remarks, with some labelling him arrogant and disrespectful towards Rashmika. Now, the Ranabaali actor has shared a satirical reel poking fun at the online analysis of their interaction.

Taking to Instagram Stories, Vijay reposted a video by a content creator that humorously highlighted how social media users tend to overanalyse celebrity relationships. Referring to the discussions surrounding his appearance with Rashmika on the popular chat show, he wrote, “Needs subtitles. Regional languages lo.”

The satirical skit featured a man and a woman reviewing the Koffee With Karan episode, with the woman interpreting seemingly ordinary moments as signs of relationship red flags.

At one point, she pointed out Vijay’s seating position on the sofa, suggesting that sitting on the right side meant he wanted to prove he was always right. The man accompanying her questioned her interpretation, but she continued to find fault with the actor’s behaviour.

The duo also discussed the placement of the coffee cups on the table. When the woman noticed that Vijay’s coffee was positioned near him rather than Rashmika, she questioned why he had not offered his wife a cup. Her companion suggested that Rashmika might not drink coffee, but the woman insisted that Vijay should have offered it anyway, joking that the moment could have been removed during editing.

The reel also poked fun at the online reaction to Vijay’s remark about marriage and agreeing with one’s wife. The woman interpreted his comment as evidence of narcissistic and patriarchal behaviour. When asked to explain her reasoning, she simply dismissed the question by saying that it was another red flag.

Another widely discussed topic was Vijay’s Instagram activity, as social media users had pointed out that he does not follow Rashmika on the platform. The skit incorporated this observation into its humour, with the woman criticising Vijay for not following his wife. Her companion responded by asking whether she followed him, prompting an exaggerated exchange in which both accused each other of being red flags.

Why Vijay and Rashmika’s KWK Appearance Sparked Debate

Since the episode aired, several clips featuring Vijay and Rashmika have circulated widely online, triggering discussions about their relationship dynamics. One particular moment attracted considerable attention when Vijay reportedly revealed that Rashmika had to ask him repeatedly about marriage before he agreed to take the relationship forward.

The remark that Rashmika had to ask him “100 times” for a year before he agreed to marry her became a major talking point. Some viewers criticised the statement, while others questioned the couple’s dynamic based on their interactions during the show. The revelation also reportedly surprised host Karan Johar.

Vijay’s latest Instagram Story appears to poke fun at the tendency to interpret every detail of a celebrity couple’s interaction as evidence of deeper relationship issues. However, his repost should not necessarily be taken as a direct response to every criticism directed at him.

The couple recently appeared together in Ranabaali, a historical period action drama directed by Rahul Sankrityan, adding to the public interest surrounding their relationship and on-screen partnership.
