Actor Vijay Deverakonda has responded with humor to online scrutiny surrounding his recent appearance with wife Rashmika Mandanna on Koffee With Karan.
Re-posting a satirical video mocking self-proclaimed “social media psychologists,” Deverakonda poked fun at netizens who labeled him a “red flag” based on his couch posture, coffee placement, and online following habits.
Mocking ‘Insta Psychologists’ and Relationship Overanalysis
Following their joint appearance on Karan Johar’s talk show to promote their period action drama Ranabaali, social media platforms were flooded with commentary dissecting the couple’s body language. Critics alleged Deverakonda exhibited “narcissistic” and “patriarchal” traits during the episode.
Addressing the viral commentary, Deverakonda re-shared an Instagram Reel by content creator Anirudh Narayanam titled ‘Those Insta Psychologists Analysing the Show!’ on his Instagram Stories. The parody video shows a woman scrutinizing trivial details—such as Deverakonda sitting on the right side of the couch, having a coffee cup placed near him instead of Rashmika, and not following her on Instagram—to declare him a “red flag”.

Deverakonda added laughing emojis to the story, captioning it:
”Needs Subtitles. Regional Languages lo (In regional languages)”.
Inside the Koffee With Karan Revelations
The actor couple, who tied the knot in February 2026 in a private ceremony in Udaipur following a secret engagement in Hyderabad, opened up about their relationship dynamics during the talk show.
Deverakonda revealed on the show that Rashmika was the first to propose marriage. Wanting to be completely certain before taking the leap, he playfully requested her to ask him 100 times over the course of a year before he agreed. While some viewers questioned the dynamic, Deverakonda’s lighthearted response to the viral parody signals he is choosing to laugh off the online commentary.
