Karan Johar, in an attempt to dig out juicy information from his guests, always tries to rope in some interesting pairs on his coveted celebrity chat show, Koffee with Karan. Now with the sixth season of the show back with a bang, the premiere episode saw two leading ladies of the industry, Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone, engage in a fun-filled banter about relationships, without failing to address the elephant (read Ranbir Kapoor) in the room. Subsequently, the audience witnessed the camaraderie between two mama’s boys, Ranveer Singh and Akshay Kumar, as they spilled some secrets while sipping the Koffee.
Now joining Karan on the third episode was Bollywood’s Mr Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, who made a solo appearance on the show. And it would be stupid to expect that the actor would play the game as KJo wants him to, right? Well, let’s not forget, Aamir is not only brilliant with his acting but his wit and pranks are both unmatched. With the testimony of the recently released promos, the episode was high on light-hearted pleasure as Aamir fell prey to Karan’s perfectly wrong questions.
Now for those of you who missed out on this entertaining episode, here’s a roundup of major highlights for you all:
Aamir is extremely nervous about Thugs of Hindostan
Aamir’s appearance on Koffee with Karan comes in the same week as the release of his highly-awaited film, Thugs of Hindostan. Admitting that he is anxious before the film hits the theatres since it’s a character-driven role, he stated, "People are used to see my film with some message in it or some concept, but this is a mainstream kind of film. Though I enjoyed doing this film, but I just hope the audience enjoys watching it."
Aamir on his ex-wife Reena and kids, Junaid and Ira
It is not unknown that Aamir shares a cordial relationship with his ex-wife Reena Dutta, with whom he was married for 16 years. In fact, Aamir’s wife Kiran Rao also has a good rapport with Reena. Maintaining that he never lost his love or respect for Reena, he added, "I think she is a really wonderful person. I am lucky to have had shared 16 years of my life with her or rather the opportunity to be with her for 16 years." Furthermore, he also revealed that his kids, Junaid and Ira, have aspirations to follow his footsteps and join the film industry.
Aamir’s strong take on #MeToo Movement
Aamir and his wife Kiran recently released a statement on the ongoing #MeToo controversy, thereby ending all association with Mogul director Subhash Kapoor, who was accused of sexual harassment. Talking about it on the show, the actor said that it is sad that women have had to come out and speak about it. "It's really awful that any human being should be degraded, pressurized, misused or preyed upon in any manner,” he concluded.
Aamir claiming that Salman Khan will never drown
Aamir single-handedly won the Koffee hamper when he took Salman’s name by stating, "Bhai Kabhi Dubenge Nahi", when he was asked if he was in a deep sea with Salman and Shah Rukh Khan, who would he rather push? His answer certainly left Malaika Arora and Karan in complete awe of his wit!
Aamir playing Koffee shots with Karan
After Priyanka Chopra in the last season, Karan played the game Koffee shots with Aamir this time. From admitting to cheating on someone and showering with wife Kiran Rao 'very,very often', Aamir bared it all as he sipped the shots. The segment was definitely worth a watch!
Karan Johar’s clear choice between Katrina and Deepika
During his first ever Rapid fire round, Karan was asked to name a celeb for which he thinks #TooHotToHandle hashtag is perfect. Although he first said Katrina, he later took Deepika's name and later finally bit his lip. Well, his choice was clear as he finally stuck to Deepika’s name.
Besides these six dhamakedaar revelations, there’s lot more to watch in this episode. Don’t give it a miss!
