But everybody knows this already eh? Anyways, his show is based on the same idea behind shows like E!'s "Revealed" or Bravo's "Inside the actor's studio" (without the audience of course).
Every week, he invites a couple of Indian celebrities (mostly his friends) to come on the show to dish about their working and private lives. Of course a show like this wouldn't be very much different from the others without a little drama added in, and so Mr. Johar attempts to bring out the edgy and sometimes ruthless side of his guests by putting them on the spot. On the premiere show featuring power on screen couple Shah Rukh Khan & Kajol, he asked the former pick between Aishwarya Rai and Sushmita Sen (grimacing, the king Khan reluctantly picked both) then when Johar asked Kajol twice about Preity Zinta's acting (he successfully extracted the fact she feels that she(Kajol) could have done a better job in Kal Ho Na Ho. Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!
Johar is more than a director, he has the makings of a tabloid king, a real gossip monger if he so chooses to pursue that path. Everything you've heard about your favourite star is probably true and Mr. Johar hopes to confirm this with every new show. Kareena is snooty and she knows it, Rani is civil and she knows it. Watch how he invited both actresses (Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherji) to come and sit on the same couch, OUCH! They sat as far away from each other as humanly possible while trying to convince the audience that they are still friends! Yeah right! If you believe that, you'll believe anything! Oh and did I even mention that no one ever touches their coffee on this show??? With so much tension, how can they?
Koffee with Karan, is a must see for all fans of Bollywood and the director alike. It's better than reading a tabloid I can tell you that much. Special thanks to WMBC NY for adding this to their Saturday morning programming.
