Co-powered by Ajio Luxe and Bru.
Hello. Hello. Hello.
Welcome to Koffee With Karan. I am Karan Johar.
Your friendly neighbourhood super spreader of news
that nobody needs but everybody wants.
I have a confession to make.
You know I am actually addicted to film reviews.
I read each one of them.
Every word. Every hyphen. Every hashtag.
Everything. For every film.
Not just the ones I make of course.
And I have noticed that just like films have genres, so do reviews.
So, there is the academic serious one.
There is like an art house film.
Then there are reviews with ratings.
They are like the masala films.
You only remember the stars.
And then there's my favourite.
The live tweet review which is like an edge of the seat thriller
complete with plot twists and spoilers by the minute.
What's not to like?
People in the business will tell you reviews don't affect them.
We are just lofty detached beings who are above reviews and ratings
when they are negative.
When they are positive, we still remain above them of course.
But we use them in full page ads in case you missed noticing them.
My guests on Koffee with Karan tonight, are two men
who currently have no reason to complain about reviews.
Both their last releases were so acclaimed
that they are front runners for best actor
at every award ceremony this year.
They have had vastly different career trajectories.
One was recognised as a gifted actor before he became a star.
And the other had all the trappings of a conventional hero
And is now coming into his own as an actor.
Please welcome the men of the moment then.
Vicky Kaushal and Sidharth Malhotra.
- How are you, Karan? - I am well.
- Looking nice and youthful. - Yeah, I told you.
Because I announced I am 50 this is my grand midlife crisis.
So, I thought I should wear flowers and plants and stuff.
Because I can't compete with this youth.
So, I have to just do my own thing. What do I do?
- May you prosper. You're looking very nice - May I prosper.
Welcome back to Koffee With Karan
- Thank you. - This is our seventh season.
And Vicky, this is your second time.
- Second time. Yes. - And Sid, your third?
- Oh, wow. -Third or fourth? - Third.
- Fourth time. - Fourth?
-This is your fourth time. -Wow. Senior.
Thanks to my Guru.
But we are very happy to have you and this was a very momentous
Koffee with Karan for you the last time.
Because if you remember
there was something very magical that happened.
He got engaged here.
-He doesn't have the chance this time. -So I had asked Katrina..
who is the one hero that she would look good with.
She said who I think I'll look good with is Vicky Kaushal.
Then fortunately she had shot it before Vicky came on to the show.
And I told him and he has done the fall
which was a meme which was a GIF
which went and then look what happened.
I call this the couch of manifestation.
- So much has happened on it. - It really is.
- You see. - It really is.
So, whether you give me credit
or not, I have taken the entire credit for your love story.
Please take it.
Say that it all started here.
- Give this show some importance. - On this couch.
On this couch, right?
A lot has happened on this couch.
I can't begin to tell you.
- Is it? - Congratulations...
for your absolutely stunning performance in Sardar Udham.
You were phenomenal. And got so much global love.
- So clap, clap, clap. - Yeah.
Thank you. Thank you.
And Sid, I don't have to tell you. We both made a magical movie.
You were phenomenal.
I think they call it your coming into your own film.
It gave you so much love.
So much respect for us as a company for having made it.
And I think it was a story that needed to be told.
And I am glad we got the opportunity.
-Yes. Thank you, Karan. -And I remember that's a film...
...Sid brought to me actually.
Yeah, I know. Really.
- He brought the film to me... - But it was outstanding.
Like I remember.
- Watching it at the screening. - True.
Like I was really moved. With that story. With his performance.
And it just felt like
- ..it was only him who could do that. - Yeah.
- But he felt very strongly about it. - He was very sweet.
I remember him coming at the screening.
Post covid, right? Very few people.
And we barely had seats there.
And we hung out and we spoke post the screening.
And you know when someone is genuinely there watching a film.
And you know there to support and enjoy cinema.
- Yeah. - All of us are here doing that.
So from that evening I just realised that he is such a
regular Punjabi boy.
- Like you are. - Exactly.
So why do I think I made this pairing?
- Two regular Punjabi boys. - So, it's the Punjabi episode.
- Right. - It's the full Punjabi episode.
Though I think yet, your spoken Punjabi is way superior to Sid's.
-Oh, yeah. -And definitely mine. -For sure.
-And definitely mine.
-Correct. Correct. -But after the film..
something even more magical happened. You got married.
-I got married. -And what a magical wedding.
We weren't invited.
But it was very, very lovely.
From the images. Okay. He is not even feeling bad.
- No, it was great. - No, I am. I am
And we both were terribly feeling bad about it.
And we really wanted to but it was just...
Me and Alia have drunk dialed him once from Delhi.
We were shooting and we were both drinking wine
and looking at the stars.
And we were like who do we call.
And we said we want to call Vicky and Kat.
I was right before their marriage.
And we have called them and we are like we are so happy for you.
Our hearts are happy because both of us love Katrina.
We have grown to know you much later.
- But Katrina I have known for years. - Yeah, sure.
And just the fact that
she was getting married was making us feel all emotional
and fuzzy and happy. It looked amazing.
- How does it feel? - Feels great.
- Yeah. - It actually does feel great.
I really truly do feel settled.
- Yeah. - In that sense.
And it's just is a very beautiful feeling.
To kind of have that companion you know.
And I just feel truly lucky to just find that in her.
- Yeah. - That life partner.
She is a wonderful, wonderful soul and
one of the wisest and the most compassionate person
that I have ever come across. I learn so much from her
That is she. Wise I second.
- Wise I second. - She is. She really is.
- Very wise. - And I really...
really learn from her a lot. And she really ground me.
She is like a mirror to me. She really would state out hard facts
which I need to know. Which I need to hear.
And you always need that person with you.
- Closest to you. - Yeah.
So, I truly feel fortunate to have her as my life partner.
- Those were lovely. - But I have...
actually a very saucy question to ask.
Now way before, like you became a movie star and an actor
you knew Katrina Kaif as this amazing movie star.
Gorgeous and hot and like the world loves her.
Did you ever imagine you would marry her one day?
No, Karan. In fact,
what happened in the last season on this couch.
- Yeah. - It was really my moment
to know that she knows about me.
-That she knew you existed. -Yeah, I did not know that.
-I really did not. -What rubbish.
-And it was... -Before it...
-Seriously. -You guys met before that?
No, never. We'd never met.
So the first time I remember Vicky properly meeting Katrina
Or at least what I noticed was at Zoya's house.
And you had just met.
It was post the screen awards. They met after the...
It was after the show.
Yeah, it was after the show.
- But never before the show. - For the first time I saw like..
the ice breaking and both of them were chatting.
Even at that point,
it was too nascent to know that it was going to go anywhere.
You know I remember the time when you were getting married.
It was like people were waiting for when the first pap image
or the first image would at the official announcement would come out.
Of yours and Katrina's
So you never got to react.
But people said the most interesting things about the marriage.
Heard that even the priest is not allowed
at Vicky Katrina's wedding due to security reasons
Shahi Paneer will be given to people after checking their Aadhar card
and Naan only when they show their double vaccinated certificate
Actually, I have to tell you there was...
We had a friends group.
And every day,
all these memes and funny tweets and funny messages
would get shared and we would have a laugh about it.
This is hysterical.
Wedding so private, Katrina and Vicky might not even go.
No, but we used to have a blast on that.
But I thought it was lovely.
- Yeah, it is a private moment, Karan. - It was great.
It's the way to get married.
- It becomes very hectic. - It is the way to get married.
Some of the most random things being said
and I really did not know where this is coming from and what is going on.
Things like, they are going to come by a chopper
There are drones for security. and these things.
Yeah. And the drones had been shot down.
- Yeah. The drones have been shot down. - Drones have been..
- The drones have been shot down. - ...shot down.
Like it was some kind of a surgical strike not a wedding.
- Drones have been shot down. - It is like Uri happening.
Really like Uri.
While these messages were going on, I was sitting with the priest and requesting him
to get done with everything quicky. Not more than an hour.
Or the media might show up.
So it was great.
We call this couch the manifestation couch.
And what would you like to manifest?
Sorry? I have already manifested a lot.
I had already manifested that
I would do a Karan Johar movie on this couch.
- Oh my. - Am I speaking too soon?
- Our good boy. - He is such a good boy.
He is a very good boy. Very good boy.
I am on this couch for the fourth time, Karan.
So now that you are dating Kiara Advani
are there any future plans. Anything that we should know about.
Ke Raatan Lambiyan Lambiyan Re
He is our lover boy.
Come on. See, he was so secretive.
I should start telling my plans?
But why?
- He was secretive before. - I was not secretive at all.
- I fainted on that couch. - So plans are being made, right?
- Say that at least. - It is all in my head.
I am manifesting it today.
That you will marry Kiara Advani?
- Not manifesting. - No?
No? Is that a no?
- Is that a yes? - Is that a yes or is that a no?
- A brighter happier future. - With Kiara Advani.
If she would be, it would be great.
But I am manifesting it right now. Let's see.
I am very excited to show you an AV. You must have a look
About me? I never came here.
No. It will be in the future, right?
- Oh. - I want you to see something.
- So you have made future manifestations. - We met your...
your girlfriend.
- Oh. - A little earlier.
And we had some things to ask her.
And she had said some things to say.
Please have a look.
Is your relationship with Sidharth Malhotra very different
from the one that is depicted in Kabir Singh?
He has taken it very nicely and smoothly.
It's okay. You are co-actors, right?
I mean is your relationship different from our film.
Of course, it is different from Kabir Singh.
Are you denying your relationship with Sidharth Malhotra?
- I am not denying or accepting. - Isn't it so last season to deny it?
I mean come on.
Shahid, you have always accepted your relationship.
Isn't it so last season to ask this question?
You all are close friends?
We are definitely close friends. More than close friends.
If your current life was a movie title, what would it be called?
Shershaah
- It's... - That's what you'd describe your...
I mean it is... It should be like...
-Lion sized. -Yeah.
King sized.
Oh, nice. King size and all.
- Size matters. - I shouldn't have said that..
Jug Jugg Jeeyo.
It is a blessing that I have this.
Are you ready to kind of be in a marriage right now?
Or you still feel you need some time...
We are not ready for you to get married.
It's definitely... You know I see that in my life.
But I am not revealing that on Koffee With Karan today.
Sounds like she is ready.
15 minutes back she was not accepting the relationship.
And now she is almost confessing to the fact that she is ready.
Well done. Nobody does this better than you, Karan.
We'll get the location and dates by the end of this episode.
We will be like it is happening in Vienna.
- In December. - You all will be planning it..
by the end of this episode.
We might just be performing at it also by the end of this show.
You and I should do Dola Re Dola.
Done.
You all are both doing Dola Re Dola at my wedding.
Shahid Kapoor and Karan Johar are doing Dola Re Dola on her wedding.
- For you. - I have to invite you all now.
- So much you guys have spoken. - Poor girl.
- It is like a whole segment. - She finally spilled the beans.
We pushed her to the edge. She had to say it.
- So sorry, Karan. - Why did you trouble her so much?
So I think we are all set and we are all ready.
You are set. Let us...
No, but listen. On a....
Yes.
Munda thoda offbeat hai
No, Karan. Let's see.
We want to have. Everyone wants to work
and have a happy future and life.
- Good to know we have your wishes. - Listen this Hum Do, Humare Do campaign
we don't not want to hear from you.
We are very happy.
-I am very happy. She is a lovely girl
I love you. I am very happy for everything.
And we don't want to discuss any other further details
and hound you anymore.
The thing is that I love it when there's love in the air.
- And when it is on your show. - Yes.
- And when it's spoken about. - He loves that.
I love it. I love it.
This show and this couch.
Okay. So we have got that out of the way.
I am very happy and whenever it does happen, do let us know.
-Yes, sir. -And as you know that
I have very big FOMO about people's weddings.
There is, right? Yes.
I asked Vicky...
Don't worry. You won't be missing mine.
- So... - No, I will...Are you crazy?
-I'll be making sure..
- I will come and give you a slap. - Karan might be the priest.
- If I don't get invited. - Alright.
- And Gucci. - So Vicky...
it's a very busy schedule you have, Vicky.
What are the ways and means you do
to shower love and care
on your spouse Katrina.
I don't think it is so much time dependent
as much as it is...
It should be the intention.
- Intention. - Yes.
Sometimes five minutes of TLC is...
True TLC, like a proper TLC is worth like 50 hours of just...
- That's true. - It is quality time.
It is quality than quantity here.
And how do you?
He is working with her and...
His work life is also kind of...
-Love life. -Together only. Yes. Love life.
Where? Which love life? Work. Only work.
How do you shower love and care on Kiara?
Sorry?
No sorry. We have been through that.
He is the one married. We are just co-stars.
- We are just co-actors. - It is very last season to deny.
Are you doing Dola Re Dola?
I am doing Dola Re Dola.
I promised. For her wedding. For your wedding. Same thing.
I will perform. I will host also.
I do that well too.
- Host the wedding. - The Sangeet.
- There will be a Sangeet, right?
Okay. Okay.
Vicky, huge amount of love that you have received
for so many performances. Box office success as well.
Setbacks also in the...
Like the film that you and I were meant to do.
And we haven't been able to. Let's manifest that we do.
On this couch.
Also a massive film that got put on hold Ashwatthama.
So there have been like ups and downs.
And how do you kind of manoeuvre your way through those situations?
I'll be very honest. I was actually...
When Takht,
I came to know that it is not happening because of Covid reasons.
Actually both of them were because of Covid reasons.
But when I came to know of Takht,
it actually wasn't so difficult for both of them.
Because it had such genuine and...
- Yeah, yeah. - And logistical reasons.
There was nothing like emotionally involved.
That this a not working or that is not working you know.
Both the projects were in a great space but it was just
- ..a different time. - Yeah.
For those films to come on floors with.
And I remember when it was Ashwatthama
and I was shooting for Govinda Naam Mera.
- Yeah. - With Shashank.
And I got a call that
we are pulling the plug on the film for now.
I actually had my trainer with me and I called him up and I was like
listen,
let's hit the gym. Let's go
and I told him you give me the most difficult work out.
Because I really wanted to... Vent it out.
Because that was the film I had really given like two years to.
In terms of prep and everything and we were really close to shoot.
- Yes, he was in great shape. - Yeah.
You came for the screening also.
-You were training, right? -Yeah, at that time closer to that time.
So and we were really close to starting.
-Actually, both of them. -Yeah. Yeah,
-We were really close to starting. -I was shooting in April.
-Yes. And march... -Pandemic hit us in March.
Yes, but it just stays with me for one day.
- One day. - That's all?
Not because of anything else.
But because after a few hours,
I see the logic behind it.
And if I see the sense in it,
so I stop feeling emotional about it.
I always miss it.
I always crave for it.
I always feel like...
- Yeah. - That.
But it never
sends me in a space where I feel gloomy about it.
Because you know the reason behind it.
Yeah. And also in this short journey,
but in this journey
there have been
times where I have not landed a role or almost landed a role.
This but didn't happen.
For it to eventually turn out to the best thing.
The best thing to happen to you.
So I have this faith
so strongly in me that everything happens for the best.
That cannot be shaken. Ever.
Well, that's amazing. To actually you know....
But since you have
called this a manifestation couch...
-Yeah, I was just about to say that. -Manifest it on this couch.
Takht and Ashwatthama. Takht and Ashwatthama.
-Every film has its destiny. -It will happen.
God willing and Amen.
Sid, you started of course
with such a massive filmmaker
who launched you.
Thanks, Karan.
Mr. Johar. Karan Johar.
I mean that a launch.
And that was the first time you did it.
- But really what a launch. - Yes, it is the first time you...
We were lucky. We were blessed. We were really blessed.
And subsequently you have also had a very interesting trajectory.
There have been hits. There have been misses.
And there have also been a perception
that Sidharth Malhotra is gorgeous.
Stunning. Perfect hero material.
But he is yet to prove his mettle as an artist.
When Shershaah came, many of those people were silenced.
Because your performance spoke for itself.
But you, when I ask you,
were there those moments that I have to prove myself.
Insecurity.
Kind of like feeling like
I have been in the business nearly 10 years
but I haven't been able to have that stamp of being an actor.
What were your feelings through this journey?
As you said, Karan there have been so many ups and downs.
I think a lot of learnings coming from the outside.
It took a while to also gauge the industry.
What it takes to be an actor.
On screen and off screen both.
And yes, there was that craving to prove that it is not
difficult to mould oneself
beyond just their looks or physicality.
- And to really bite into a character. - Right.
I feel everyone connects everything to business.
-Yeah. -You know I feel...
success also solves everything
If you are giving hit films no one really cares.
-Yeah. -As to what and how..
...you are doing things. So that's a big learning.
But Shershaah comes in as a blessing where people see
a character people see someone beyond their looks.
Or get more involved. Or feel certain things.
Because of an actor portraying certain emotions.
Of course, everyone craves for it.
Do you feel this has given you a new spring in your step?
Not just career wise but personality wise as well?
- 100 percent. - Like you seem to me
you seem to me much more relaxed and calmer
and more Zen than you ever were.
See, because Karan, in Shershaah, from the beginning
the moment it was narrated to me, it had a very...
From point zero to wherever it reached today,
- I was involved in the journey. - Yes, right through.
- I was emotionally involved. - Yeah.
Technicalities. Story. Direction. We had a great director.
We had a great cast. Great producer.
You know I felt that if...
I mean Shershaah had to work.
- Yeah. - It came to a stage...
where you know I have put in so much time and effort.
Like just what he was saying.
You know when you prep for a film, you manifest so much.
You want it to be the best version.
So it has happened. It gives me a sense of validation.
And
gives me the sense that I have a sense of what this business is
all about some small creative calls I am capable of taking today.
- Some instinctive calls. - Yeah.
And that's what we all need.
Because no one can tell you how to be successful in this business.
- Yeah. - No one can guarantee you...
that all your calls will be
you know a 100 percent. Even the biggies of the business.
- Yeah - I have met them all.
We have seen them all. You being a director,
have seen it as well.
It is that kind of industry where everyone has a journey.
- Yeah. - You know it is literally and...
you never know where things land.
-It is unpredictable. -It has been a massive rollercoaster
and I am enjoying it. I am enjoying the ride.
From one high to the other.
Yeah. And there will be lows
and you have to prep yourself and armour yourself up.
- Absolutely. - what I always asked actors..
is that do you define. And Vicky, I have to ask you.
Do you define your success or failure or your talent...
Like using someone else's career trajectory as a barometer.
In your generation or rather close to your age
The two actors that are touted as
movie stars are Ranveer and Ranbir.
And then there is of course both of you who are incredible actors.
And have to yet move into that zone.
Do you sometimes compare journeys?
Or do you feel like he is great at what he does.
They are great at what they do but I have to carve my own niche out.
Or sometimes do you fall into that comparison trap?
No, I don't think so.
- No. - I don't think so.
I feel all these tracks are running parallelly.
- Right. - And everybody's...
pursuit is for excellence and pursuit is for
you know leaving a
-...great legacy behind. -Yeah.
You know that is what we are all pursuing for.
That is what we are all aiming for.
And that is what we are all working hard for.
-Right. -I think with changing times...
the definition of being a star changes.
-Yes. -I am also seeing with...
my contemporaries alone I like,
I like started watching Student of the Year and everything
before I even entered the industry.
I wasn't even a part of the industry.
I have seen them and I have admired them.
And I already have looked up to them.
I wish I also get a film like that.
- I also get work like that. - Right. Correct.
You know so I never get into this comparison
that I never feel like I am equal to them.
- I feel like my journey is on... - Or competing with them.
Or competing with them because I feel
you know I used to
watch their films when I wasn't even in the industry.
You know be it Ranbir, Ranveer.
Even Sid. Varun. Everybody.
It just doesn't come to me organically.
Like that sometimes I have fan moments with them.
You know like when I see a performance and I meet them
- I feel like... - That's one thing I have noticed..
...about you, Vicky. You are probably the only actor.
And I say this because it's by observation.
You are the only actor I have seen in other actors' screenings.
You make it a point. I think that is very gracious of you.
- I just... - Yeah.
I just feel like
if I drop in a text and if I make those calls
I would love for them to be there.
- Yeah. - You know you know that.
And you have observed that yourself. People don't show up.
- Like nobody... - That's okay.
- They don't go... - I also feel...
Today everyone's...
People do. I don't feel like...
- Nobody goes Sid. - It depends, Karan
People are busy. People have so schedules.
Sid, its rare, people feel that we will watch in the theatres.
Or whenever it comes online.
I know nobody makes and effort.
Nobody goes anywhere really these days.
- I mean it's a very... - True. True.
I am not taking anything away from his efforts.
- That's for sure. - I have noticed this about Vicky..
Because I have seen him physically.
-At screenings. -Yeah.
And that's amazing.
And I ask you, Sid.
Have you ever felt why does he have this and I don't.
I mean it's sometimes a natural feeling.
Do you sometimes feel like
your insecurities come from comparisons?
You know when I got launched I was the only
- Boy from nowhere. - Yeah.
You know so then I had so many people wondering
- Why has he gotten this and we haven't. - Yeah.
So I have been subjected to that question.
You know because everyone had a background.
- Everybody had a surname or something. - Right.
They were nepo kids.
I don't want to say it. But you have said it.
So I have been on the other side. I feel
while I am going through this journey,
it's always been so internal.
My reaction to something that doesn't work
is more analytical. Or maybe aggression at times.
I think looking inwards and trying to make
my film or my performance better
is the key thing. Yes, there are disappointing
moments where you sometimes feel like...
You don't have reasons also at times for film to work.
- Yes. - So you also have to...
- ...learn how to surrender. - Right.
We said. We brought up and you said that
you began and with both the actors of course, came from film families.
- Yeah. - Vicky and I have had an..
interesting chat once about how
people don't know whether to slot him as a nepo kid or not.
Because to half the world...
It's a lesser-known fact that his dad has been in the business.
Loved and respected for decades.
But many people also think he is an outsider.
Even on social media, I have read
sometimes you are put in those lists
of people like you know who are like
products of nepotism. And some who all call you outsider.
It is bizarre. Like you are not really slotted in either actually.
Yeah. It was actually Arjun who had
- ...had this jokes the first time. - He said this. - Yeah.
And that's when even I realised that I am neither.
Half of his leg is inside and half of it is outside.
-Where should we put him? -Technically yes.
I have my father from the same industry.
As I am in now.
-But the reality is... -But he also had...
absolutely nothing to do with how you landed any film.
-Not at all. -Yeah.
So you don't get that vibe from him also.
-I feel he is... -He is a technician.
And also see the thing is that it was laid very
plainly and like honestly to me that
I am going to have my own struggles.
-You better have your own struggles. -Yeah.
And I know nothing about acting.
I have been a person who has always been behind the camera.
-Yeah. -All I know is that...
when I see an actor performing I just know if he is an actor or not.
- Yeah. -That's all I know. - Right.
I don't know anything about the craft.
- Right. - So, you will have to work on that...
- ...and it's going to be your journey. - Yeah.
So, my journey has been that of an outsider.
Where I have had to...
- ..kind of give auditions. - Yeah.
And try and meet people.
But also, I think the definition of nepotism is not...
It is said with a very broad stroke
on internet. I mean...
Well, let's not get into that.
Karan Johar....
We are bruing more interesting conversation
- ...than talking about nepotism. - Yeah.
So, I don't want to go down that path.
Do you also both of you realise that you all are like
kind of pin up boys as sex symbols as well?
Him I know.
Because I still remember when Student Of The Year was coming,
I was doing theatre. At Prithvi theatre.
The girls in my theatre group
and everywhere around were going
Nuts. Nuts. Like it's an understatement.
- Nuts about this... - About this Kukkad Kamaal Da.
About this Kukkad Kamaal Da. that has come.
- Him... - Putting water on my body.
And who shot that?
Putting water what?
That whole shot. I was starving for that shot.
Yeah, that way you had to show.
But what do you think Student Of The Year was about?
A screenplay?
There was no screenplay.
There was no scene and no scope for performance.
None of them won any debut award.
There are such good character arc's Karan.
- For both me and Varun's thing. - Ayushmann Khurrana won every debut award.
So much depth into the character.
Which depth you had in the character?
Which film are you talking about?
We did our homework.
No, no. What homework did you do?
We were actually only copying him.
Barring that shot you didn't show me.
-Barring only Karan's not showing me.. -Imagine I had to show you that.
A shot of putting water on your naked body.
-I can't show. -Please do it.
I used to show them all.
-I used to love showing them. -Every other thing we have copied him.
We copied Karan. He performs...
We all know
a brilliant dancer...
But people should also know he is a very good actor.
-Yes. -I have heard him narrating...
Takht many times. And he is outstanding.
Yeah. But no one will believe you
after my debut performance in Bombay Velvet.
Nobody is going to believe me.
-You played the villain. -But Student Of The Year..
I had to kind of come down to the brass tacks.
That's the only way people would see.
I remember four days into me shooting Student of The year,
I was sitting with Abhishek Verman
who directed 2 States and Kalank.
He was my creative director on that film.
And I was like why are we making this film.
So he said huh?
I said have you read the script?
He said Karan what are you doing.
You are the director. Why are you saying things like that?
-You are in the middle of filming. -Four days in shooting...
I suddenly decided to read the script cover to cover.
-That's a really scary thought. -You are undervaluing your whole thing.
It was a great script.
What are you saying? It was such a good premise.
-Two friends are coming. -No, no.
You know the bell shot.
The whole entry thing.
My bag came from behind.
Eventually what we shot was very different
from what the written material was.
- Yes, say that. - We changed that.
I am saying because I didn't know what I was doing.
I think I was drunk or something.
I was like I started shooting this film and I was like
why is this script so bad.
- Oh no. - Then of course...
it turned out to be a fun and entertaining watch.
But it went through its own journey.
- Classic. Classic. - But you all are what we call...
quintessential... Even you, Vicky.
I want to tell you. There is a huge. Now don't act all modest and all.
There is a huge section of women who find you very hot.
And you all are thirst traps.
I think with him
it's that actor vibe that works.
- That artistic... - So you are saying...
he is not hot otherwise.
No, no. I am saying some people are hot but that artist vibe that comes.
- You know some people are... - Now not everybody can look as hot as you.
I have not seen his body shot. So what do I say?
He has built a great physique.
The films got shelved.
Whenever he builds a good physique. He should not.
As soon as he builds his physique the movie gets shelved.
- You take a break from gym now. - He is right.
-Take a break from the gym.
But you are all everybody calls you, quintessential thirst traps.
- Thirst traps. - And I want to tell you social media...
has some very exotic things to say about both of you.
I'd like for you to have a look.
Oh wow.
Vicky Kaushal reminds me of a cinnamon roll.
I just want to eat him up immediately.
What do I say to that?
And your expression is giving like
no such indication of looking like a cinnamon roll.
Yes, moving on.
It seems like he just had a roll and he is relaxed.
He is not looking like a cinnamon roll. He is like a...
Vicky, when will you do a quickie with me?
Just a simple boy.
Vicky, do quickie with me.
As if you have never done a quickie in life.
That you are pretending to be an innocent boy here, please.
Relax. I'd do a Father's Day post for Vicky
- ..cuz he*s my daddy. - Oh.
Oh.
I just don't know what to say to these comments.
Okay. Vicky Kaushal in shirtless mode.
Makes my ovaries explode.
You are exploding ovaries now.
This is like...
I'm going to complain to your wife.
Yeah. I want to know what Katrina thought of these.
She is like the lighting was good.
She is like I know the magic of top lighting.
She is also a dietician...
- Katrina knows her angles, that you have to know. - Yeah, she is also a dietician..
trainer, everything. She must be giving you tips.
Yeah, she is a full... Katrina?
I mean like not that I have been..
- ..at the receiving end. - Been with her on songs.
She was eating ice.
-What? -On songs. She was only eating ice.
-Why? -Why? -In Kala Chashma.
To keep hydrated and you want to be lean.
-Wow. -It looked good.
-And she still performed. -She looked amazing, what good.
Vicky Kaushal has such a warm vibe,
Katrina wouldn't need a comforter.
I like this comment.
This is sweet.
I like this comment.
This was a little less sexual.
- I like it. - There should be love too, Karan.
- Love is a big deal. - Sex without love is nothing, Karan.
I know. But love only lasts. Sex goes away.
Okay. I think we are shifting to...
- Shershaah now. - Yeah. - Oh.
How do I like my eggs?
Fertilized by Sidharth Malhotra.
It's good. My genetics are in demand.
-It's good to know, Karan. -Okay.
You know where Sidharth Malhotra will look best.
When he is on top of me.
Boss.
- Will do. - On top of you?
- Yeah. I mean.. - Girl only, girl only. - Yeah I mean...
Very nice. So much love.
Karan, you are just...
I am just imagining.
- Your own cinema going on. - Yeah. I have my own film.
Karan is enjoying these messages more.
- You are enjoying it more. - Very much so.
I wish somebody writes like this about me.
The only S&M I am into is Sidharth Malhotra.
Yeah. Superb.
-You got it? -No.
-S&M. -What is S&M?
It's sado maso... Sadomasochism.
Sadomasochism.
-Sadomasochism. -Karan, I don't know so much English.
My rataan's become long.... Oh, sorry.
My Rataan...
Sorry.
My Rataan...
Sorry.
Karan...
Sorry.
I meant...
-Have some water. -My raatans became long.
The moment I saw Sidharth in Shershaah.
Poor thing. She couldn't sleep. The nights are so long.
- God knows what it is. - This is sweet. This is a sweet thought.
- Yeah, very sweet. - Sweet comment.
What is this pose that you are in?
In the semi stretch.
In this field.
I was actually trolled because of this picture.
- What? You were trolled. - I had commented on this picture...
-..saying Baajre Da Sitta -Oh.
And then I got commented it is not millet, it is wheat.
I was like I was not looking at the field. I was looking at the person.
-Social media is nasty. -What are you doing?
Why this? Like this?
You have not even taken a full one.
- You should have recorded a video. - Stretch, Karan. Mid moment.
- I like it. - Candid.
Like that? Candid I was just walking, someone said photo so I said okay.
Sid knows. Sid knows mass.
-Mass. -He knows mass.
-Yeah, yeah. -Oh.
Sidharth Malhotra in Kukkad Kamaal Da was my sexual awakening.
Wow.
Kukkad Kamaal Da.
Again who shot it?
And why are you blaming it all on me?
-I am giving you credit. -You were playing a middle-class boy.
Very middle class. I was so poor...
He was walking into college.
Who wore new clothes every day. In the class too....
You know he was meant to be from a middle-class family.
And I wanted to put the logic how he got all these clothes.
- So I had a scene in this film... - Yeah.
Where he goes to sell all his medals... gold medals.
So my production designer Amrita said
Karan, you know these medals are not real gold.
He thought the gold medals you get at school, that's pure gold.
I am winning these medals. I am melting them and selling it.
And what am I buying? Gucci. Prada.
I said how to justify how is he wardrobe so awesome.
-I didn't know how to justify. -Then how did you?
I didn't. I just said fuck it now.
You just put it in the song that the guy is amazing.
Whatever you say, he is amazing.
Which poor boy
-..can afford such expensive clothes. -The moment I wrote..
directed by Karan Johar, I realised no one is looking for logic.
It's fine. They will go with the flow.
-Yeah -Yeah. -Well, this was amazing.
-I didn't realise... -This was amazing for you.
Yes. I have got very, very tickled and amused by this round.
Okay. Alright. This was amazing.
And now it is time for some rapid fire.
-Are you ready? -Oh. Wow.
Oh man.
This time I would like to introduce you to the new twist
in the rapid fire round.
We have with us a very eager audience.
-Audience? -Who will be watching you live.
It's called the Koffee gang.
Please say hello to them.
Alright.
All wonderful young people.
They will vote at the end of your rapid fire
round who they think is deserving of the win.
They will be the judge and the jury.
Alright. Okay.
Before I start,
could you please turn on the Jaguar lights
for rapid fire?
Nice.
Turned on?
What the hell.
Okay. Vicky Kaushal.
If a director texted, you
Khan wants to work with you
which Khan would you hope they are talking about.
Kareena Kapoor Khan.
Oh. Nice.
One thing you and Katrina have fought over.
Closet space.
- Okay. - It is shrinking...
I have been to your house.
You don't have any closet space.
She has got one and a half room. And I have...
- She's got a room. - Maybe he has got one cupboard.
I have one cupboard which might soon become a drawer.
I want to tell you. Poor guy has one tiny section.
She... Of course now. She is the heroine.
There are so many things.
If you had to pick between your co-stars
Ranbir in Sanju and Alia in Raazi as actors
who do you rate higher?
Ranbir in Sanju.
I think that was a much more difficult part than...
- Alia's... - Yeah.
But it was difficult too. But still.
-Yeah. -Sanju. -Got it.Got it.
Who according to you is the number one actor and actress in Bollywood?
Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif.

You can't mention your wife's name.
Madhuri Dixit.
A critic you heard or read about yourself that really hit hard.
It was actually
a review where my name wasn't mentioned at all.
-Oh, really. -Oh. -And that hit me hard.
It was for Raman Raghav.
And it was Nawaz Bhai and me in the film.
And my name wasn't even mentioned in the review.
And that kind of hit me a little bit.
So that hit you.
Yeah, that the name wasn't even there.

One thing that you are yet to tick off from your Bollywood bucket list.
- A period film. - God willing.
A Katrina Kaif film you hate.

One stereotype about struggling actors that is true.

Superb. Before I of course say my final goodbye to you.
Both of you are looking supremely dapper today.
So I want to say... Vicky, I ask you about fashion.
What is your fashion that you puts you a cut above the rest?
I have to admit. I have no knowledge about fashion.
I luckily have this person Amandeep
in my life who really guides me well.
And I trust her. But I have zero clue about fashion.
Very well said.
What to say?
How does your fashion
put you a cut above the rest?
I am all about being comfortable and sharp.
I like silhouettes. I like fittings.
I think something which is sharp and comfortable
is my style.
Not completely classic.
But classic with an edge.
Lovely. Listen, you guys have been amazing.
This has been such a fantastic episode.
More power to both of you. May the force of good content,
cinema and a large audience base
always be with both of you.
So much to look forward to in life I know
at the cusp of careers that you are at.
You have like the world literally waiting to see what you do next.
Including me who is not just a filmmaker but also a fan.

-Thank you, Karan. -Thank you, Karan.
-Thank you so much. -Thank you.
Now that you are dating Kiara Advani,
- ..anything that we should know. - Ke Raatan Lambiyan Lambiyan Re
- He is a lover boy. - I am manifesting it today.
That you would marry Kiara Advani.
- Is that a yes or is that a no? - Brighter happier future.
- With Kiara Advani. - If she would be, it would be great.
