The latest episode of Koffee with Karan with cricketers KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya has drawn a lot of criticism from the Twitterverse for Pandya’s “misogyny”, “racism’ and “obnoxious comments”.
If you haven’t watched the episode and are wondering what has happened, here’s what went down: As host Karan Johar spoke to the two cricketers about their personal lives, Pandya spoke about meeting his female friends at nightclubs and having “conversations”, though what he seemed to focus more on was how he concentrated more on “watching” them rather than talking.
Pandya also passed remarks about his family being “cool” with his sexual activities. He narrated about a time he had gone to a party with his parents where they asked him about his “scene” with the girls there, to which he pointed to a few and said, “this one, this one and this one.”
Pandya has been slammed by Tweeple for his attitude.
“Misogynistic” and “Creepy”
Most of the tweets criticising Hardik Pandya’s comments and attitude towards women called him out as both misogynistic and creepy.
“Classless” Cricketer and KWK
Some Twitterati not only expressed their disappointment with Hardik Pandya, but also with the show itself for having aired the episode.

And @sagarcasm winds the criticism up with this tweet. Hirani for Pandya!
