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.
