In a resurfaced clip from Koffee With Karan, Karan Johar challenges Alia Bhatt to choose between her cat and Ranbir Kapoor. Alia is initially surprised and begins to explain her choice, but Deepika Padukone interrupts, insisting, "No, no, can't justify." Alia then clarifies that despite her long history with her cats, she would choose Ranbir.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor have been married for over two years, and they now have a daughter, Raha. Before his relationship with Alia, Ranbir had been involved with Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif. Although Ranbir once had a reputation as a 'cheater,' Alia has maintained good relations with his former partners. The recently resurfaced video of Deepika interrupting Alia during the interview about Ranbir has sparked renewed interest among fans.

The clip drew various responses online. Some viewers felt Deepika appeared 'uncomfortable,' while others speculated that she might have been jealous. Additionally, some questioned why Deepika felt the need to involve herself in Alia's personal choice. One person commented, "Why did Deepika intervene in her personal life?! She knows how to answer!!" while another noted, "Deepika looks uncomfortable."
