When it comes to romantic films and a funny load of gossip in Bollywood, Karan Johar is the way to go. KJo celebrates his 49th birthday today!
The director is known for his famous show ‘Koffee With Karan’, so let’s take a look at 7 celebrities who hit back at Karan’s jokes/questions hilariously.
1. Shah Rukh Khan
Starting off with the King of romance, Shah Rukh Khan was once asked by Karan to name an Indian movie he wishes he was not a part of. To this, SRK had a hysterical response. He said, “Kuch Kuch Hota hai”, which as we know, is directed by Johar himself.
2. Twinkle Khanna
Karan Johar and Twinkle Khanna have been childhood friends and are extremely close in real life. Perhaps that explains the comfortable environment between these two jesters. KJo had asked Khanna to reveal what the meanest thing anyone had said to her about her writing.
Twinkle wasn’t planning on letting Karan off the hook and responded, “When you started writing columns, they said KJo is the new Mrs Funnybones. I didn’t want my standards to go so down.”
3. Kajol
Karan Johar shares an amicable relationship with Kajol, an actress who has worked closely with him and is an industry favourite. Karan, who is known to ask dangerous yet funny questions on his show, asked Kajol to name a celebrity who needs a crash course in acting.
Of course, Kajol took this opportunity to poke some fun at the host and replied with a, “You!”
4. Aamir Khan
Aamir Khan is known for his meaningful blockbuster films that always delivers a strong message. Karan once asked Aamir to share with him (and the viewers) what he dislikes about the industry. Khan instantly replied, “Your show,” in a manner of joking.
5. Imran Khan
After Aamir Khan, we have his nephew who humorously clapped back at Johar while being on the show. During the game segment, Imran Khan was asked by Karan to name a celebrity to whom he would give the book ‘Film Direction For Dummies’.
Imran replied saying, “Can I give it to you?”
6. Abhishek Bachchan
Abhishek Bachchan is known for his intellectual humour and all the episodes he’s been on have been nothing short of hilarious. Karan had once asked him who the biggest gossipmonger of the Bollywood film industry was. Naturally, Abhishek took the host’s name!
“You,” was his response.
7. Kangana Ranaut
Karan Johar’s episode with Kangana Ranaut as one of the guests will never be forgotten! Especially when the actress made bold statements on the couch. Karan had asked her to name someone who has given her unnecessary attitude in the industry.
Kangana without hesitating replied saying, “You have, Karan. If my biopic is ever made, you will play the snooty Bollywood biggie in it. The flag bearer of nepotism.”
