India wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul has opened up about the impact that the `Koffee with Karan` controversy had on him, saying the backlash left him "massively scarred" and changed him as a person.
Five years ago, Rahul and fellow cricketer Hardik Pandya faced a nationwide outcry after making comments about women on Bollywood director Karan Johar`s talk show Koffee with Karan. The remarks sparked outrage on social media and led to their suspension ahead of an ODI series against Australia.
