Hello, this is Koffee with Karan
the show that keeps the Internet memes in business and I mean it.
Now I've often been told that I have the gift of the gab.
There appears to be some truth to that charge
since this is a talk show and we've been around for well 18 years.
Yes, I talk a lot.
But I have to confess that these days
I find it extremely difficult to have conversations
because I can't bring myself to be politically correct
and these days everywhere you look
there are people willing to be offended, waiting to be offended
in fact just plain happy to be offended.
And much as I would like to make people happy
maybe it's time I become boring.
Oops! Appears you are not allowed to say boring anymore.
I stand corrected. I stand corrected. Nobody is boring.
They are just differently interesting.
Just another term to add to my ever expanding list of non-offensive terms.
Can you even say expanding? Sorry, or is that just fat shaming?
This is getting complicated and before I get cancelled
let's quickly move on to our guests for tonight.
They can never be accused of being
differently interesting or indeed politically correct.
He is the breakout star of Telugu cinema
the outsider who broke into that very tightly knit world of film families.
He is an incredible actor,
who's also incredibly hot.
I'm trying not to blush as I say that
because he's the Arjun we were all ready for.
With him is the Panday, who is rather jolly
She was born to Bollywood privilege
and is made aware of that every single day on social media,
she can join my gang.
But take a deep dive into the 'Gehraiyaan' of her career
so far and there is much to look forward to, I promise.
So then, let's please welcome Vijay Deverakonda
and Ananya Panday as my guests tonight.
Hi, Karan.
Long hug! I didn't get such a long hug.
-You didn't get such a long hug? -From Vijay.
-He is Vijay Deverakonda.... -From me? -Yeah.
He's Vijay Deverakonda, he's hot. He will get the longer hug from me.
-I just blew you a kiss behind. -I want from him.
Oh, you didn't get that hug from him.
Okay, enough.
Save it for the movie.
Welcome to Koffee with Karan.
-Thank you. -This is your first time on the show.
-Yeah. -And I'm very elated, excited to have you.
Ananya, you've been before and scored
-really well on your debut then. -Yes, I did.
And have scored very well in your debut as well,
not that world thinks so, but you and I do.
-It's tough sometimes. -Yes, I know it's tough.
But she was telling me in the make-up room
she's saying she's tried many many times to hit on you but
-there hasn't been any reciprocation. -You have?
I have? He always pretends 'Oh no one's hitting on me!'
I think there are so many people hitting on him
that I get lost a little bit.
You didn't do like a clear enough job.
Oh, you want me to be very like
-on the face about hitting on you? -It needs to be very clear.
-So you like clear signals, Vijay?
Yeah, I never take the first step ever so it always has to be...
It has to be the lady.
And things sent is a very big part of that.
-Yeah. -Of course.
Then the lady hasn't done a fair amount ...
I've worn this neon thing
-to be in your face, look at me. -Today?
-You look very beautiful today. -Thank you.
You look beautiful.
So what was your vibe with Ananya on set?
What do you think of her when you shot with her on 'Liger'?
She makes me laugh, she's really cute. I find
I laugh a lot around her. She learns quickly.
-She did a really good job on 'Liger'. -Yeah.
She's a huge foodie.
So, if you're on a diet and you're playing a role like
Liger where you need to be in shape
she's not the ideal
-co-star to have around. -Yes.
My breakfast was black coffee and 5 egg whites
and she would be having a croissant or a pain au chocolat
with her coffee. Every morning her manager would be taking
and I'm like are you eating this everyday?
-So.. -But we went for dinner
and we ate properly.
Was it a date? Or just you two?
We went on one date,
It was a date?
Kind of, yeah. You looked pretty, I dressed up so I...
We dressed up. We were very excited and we
-dressed up. -You went on a date
with Vijay while you were dating Ishaan?
-It was like a friendly date. -Yeah, it was like a friendly date.
-It was like a friendly date. -Just checking
because cross wires, blurred lines
-that's the real... -It was very clear
-Clear lines. -Yeah.
Speaking of clear lines,
you've never really clearly told us about your personal life, Vijay.
Like there's much conjecture, my favourite word is back
on this season about your personal life.
They say you have a girlfriend tucked away somewhere in Europe,
then they say you have a friendly liaison with Rashmika Mandanna
then they say a lot of things.
-Yeah. -I'm the they.
-You're a part of... -I'm the they. I say a lot of things.
They may say but what should we know?
Not much, I'd rather you don't know anything.
I try every day, Karan. I ask him every day.
I never get an answer.
I mean you're also friendly with Rashmika.
And there were lots of rumors because you've done such massive hits together
Yeah, we've two films together at a really early stage in my life
and she's a darling and I'm really fond of her.
-Right. -She's a really good friend
of mine as well and you share like so much through films
like lots of highs and lows and a bond gets created
and generally, I think in films you get
put in such close proximity very quickly...
-Yes. -That your bonds develop also much quicker
like normally even to sit or look a girl in the eye and talk would take me a while
but suddenly our director is putting me next to her
and asking me to do a montage where
I'm touching her cheek and brushing her hair
suddenly lots of ice is broken.
And also, the boundaries are all like
-you know broken. -Yeah.
Not all but
-Most. -I get what you are saying.
So, I can understand your pain about that.
His pain!
I'm not in any pain. I'm really happy, Karan.
-I'm very happy, no pain. -If I had to ask you, your status would be?
I'm happy in life.
I don't mean your emotional status.
-I meant your relationships. -I have a really good relationship
with my parents,
I have a really good relationship with my director.
-Your dog. -I love Puri,
-I love my dog. -Your lust relationship....
You lust who?
-Who do you lust? Just say it. -I just want to know.
Complicated, single, dating...
Like someday I'll be married and I'll want to have kids.
That day I will say it out.
But till then I wouldn't like to hurt anybody
-who adores you and.. -So, there are few people then.
I'm sure there are lots of people who love you as an
actor and have your poster on the wall
and on their phone wallpaper. I don't even want to hurt them.
-Oh! -Because you're giving me
so much love I don't want to say that
I'm with someone.
And while I adore that aspect about you
But I don't think we on your very left
have the similar feelings.
-Yes, let's... -I am the most
undiscreet person on this planet.
-like it is sad... Is undiscreet a word?
It is now and that is the word to describe me
Undiscreet?
Nondescreet? Indiscreet.
-Undiscreet. -Indiscreet person on this planet.
All right, good.
I'm single. No one's asking but I'm single.
You're single.
You broke up with Ishaan.
I can't hear you.
-He's asking if you broke up with Ishaan. -I can't hear you.
C'mon everybody knew you were dating Ishaan like stop sounding
Now is the time for me to be discreet.
-Oh, okay. -Yes.
I'm single now.
So, you broke up with Ishaan.
-Right now, I'm single. -I'm not talking about right now.
I don't think about the past, Karan.
-You don't think about the past. -Think about the future.
So, I'm announcing that you broke up with Ishaan.
And that's fine, you can refute it. You can kind of say anything. You broke up.
But then what happened?
Now I'm here. Then nothing.
Prior to that you were dating Kartik Aaryan?
We're just good friends, Karan.
But he hasn't managed that status
with other girls he's dated. How has he managed that with you?
I think it's me. I'm a very friendly person.
I love being good friends with people.
So, you think you could date him in the future?
You never know what lies in the future.
As they say, as you say. I don't know.
Life is all about surprises.
But I like being single.
-So, you're single right now -Yes.
You had dated in a friendly zone Kartik Aaryan,
you then broke up with Ishaan Khatter
-it's too much -and now on your radar is?
Everyone.
-Why? I saw at my party... -No, no you didn't see anything.
-I saw. -You didn't see anything.
-No, you didn't. -I saw, I'm going to say it.
I saw and I think it's really....
So, what's brewing between you and Aditya Roy Kapur?
Nothing, we're good friends.
You're good friends with everybody!
-Yes, I'm a friendly person. -But you have told me on occasions
-that Aditya Roy Kapur is hot. -He is very hot.
So I'm not saying anything's going on.
-He's very hot. -Would you, if at all
went into a zone, would you be interested in kind of being
like in a relationship with Aditya Roy Kapur?
He's very hot.
So, you won't mind.
-You never know. -I'll tell you why I'm saying this.
This couch is very lucky for people who say things.
It manifests.
Because you know I'm telling you it's happened with Alia and Katrina.
-Why don't you say it? -Oh Fuck! Choose wisely now.
-Okay, lots of pressure. -He's very hot.
So, you would be interested.
He is very hot. I don't want to like...
Who do you want to be married to in life?
-Married to... -Basically, he's saying people
are getting married.
She's not getting married right now.
If you say it on this couch you'll end up being married.
Karan knows.
-Oh, you know. -Oh yeah, I know who she wants to marry.
But that we're not talking about.
-No, that we're not talking. -Okay.
So, we're very clear Ananya wants to date Vijay.
-It's different. -But who she wants to marry
is already carved in stone.
Do I know this boy?
Yes, everybody in the world
-and this country knows this boy. -No!
-Stop talking. -But we're not going to talk about him.
-Okay. -But we know you want to marry
and you don't mind dating Aditya Roy Kapur because he's hot.
Recently I saw steaming conversations between you and him at this party.
There was a lot dancing and lots of spins.
-He spun you around? -Yes.
But you're the one who normally spins the boys around from what I hear.
I like being spun around for a change.
She's always like this.
-Like one little doll. -I was born cute.
Like a little doll? Trust me.
This doll can have a ball.
-I love that. -And you will never know.
-It's my new Insta bio.
Ananya, you grew up, as I said you have born to Bollywood privilege.
You've also grown up in the corridors of Mannat
with Suhana and Shanaya. All of them are now walking into the movies.
-You'll are such close friends. -Yes.
Do you think this friendship will survive?
Yes.
Why do you say that with such assurance?
Because it's not even friendship anymore. I think it's family.
It's always been family.
So, if you think, suppose there was the case
that one of the three of you broke out much more than the others
would that be bothersome?
I'm just saying this because I mean this is the way things do happen.
And I've seen enough and more friendships crumble as a result of
the industry dynamics.
I would like to believe that it wouldn't affect our friendship.
I think we all just have a lot of genuine love for each other
whenever I talk about this I say it was collective dream growing up
we all wanted to be actors together. We've had so many discussions.
We've played so many acting games so it's been...
So, I think I'll be as happy for Shanaya and Suhana's success as I am for my own.
It honestly feels like that.
Like I said I've seen you girls literally play in that lawn.
-Yeah. -There was also Aryan who grew up.
Did any of you girls have an older brother crush on him
when you were growing up?
Why would you have a crush on your older brother?
Not your older brother. Suhana's older brother.
Yeah, he's cute.
-Yeah, I had a crush on Aryan growing. -I mean it's....
Yeah, you did
because that's a normal
-thing to happen, right? -Yeah, he's very cute.
But then why didn't the crush fructify?
Ask him.
Did you make it clear? Your crush?
When I meet him, I need to have worn this neon dress!
Yeah, but she's worn a neon dress in front of Aryan.
It would've been sweet to see like two little
childhood sweethearts come together.
Yeah, it'd be like a movie.
What's your idea of a perfect coffee date?
Lots of cookies. Lots of conversations
And it not just ending at a coffee date.
Well, you're having a coffee date with me, Vijay, right now.
Is this your perfect idea of a coffee date?
It's a little like intense questioning sometimes
-but otherwise, it's really nice because I -Otherwise it's chilled out...
You love being questioned. When we went to Goa to shoot
the schedule... I love asking questions also
so, I kept asking. He's like I feel like I'm in an interview
Can you stop asking me so many questions?
And he didn't even ask me one question.
Yeah, but Ananya has that Paresh Rawal's character
from 'Judaai', that question mark
on his forehead. She has that problem. She'll ask many questions
She asks a lot of questions.
Okay, now...
Vijay you actually are a very rare case in the Telugu film industry
because you were not born from a film family per se.
It's not the privilege and yet you broke through the shackles
of that system and that system is great. Everyone's close to one another.
What I love about the industry is that all the movie stars
are not only massive movie stars but they are also very close to each other.
They're related to each other,
they party with each other, they're family to each other.
It's very positive.
You were an outsider to that entire nexus.
Was that A) A hurdle? B) Was it alienating?
And C) What is your thought about it today?
It's definitely not easy
breaking in when you're like a stark outsider with absolutely
no access to the industry at all.
It makes it much harder.
-Two was? Is it alienating? -Is it alienating?
I don't know if I would say that.
Basically, my thoughts on this are that the world's not fair.
We're not all born
with the same financial status or height.
With the same looks or physical abilities
and I never blame or dislike someone for being born
to a rich father maybe where I was struggling to pay rent or
someone who was born in the industry. It's not her fault or any star kid's fault
that they were born to parents who were acting.
One day I'll have a kid who's born into a family
-that acts. -Yeah.
It has nothing to do with him.
And the world's never fair for anyone in any field. It's always unequal
and you just have to work your ass off
-to get where you want to be. -Yeah.
There are benefits to being born as a star kid.
But I would not change anything about my life.
-I think... -And your journey.
My journey. I'm very grateful for
every insult, hardship, obstacle that I've faced in my life.
Ananya, people sitting next to you like
Siddhant Chaturvedi sat next to you at a round table
and spoke about your privilege vs his struggle.
You're trolled on a daily basis. People say nasty things
-to you, about you, about your privilege. -Yeah.
Does it take a toll on you in terms of your mental health?
Of course, it takes a toll on me.
I can't sit here and pretend I'm happy or I'm very strong
and I can deal with everything
because I think as a 19 year old when you're constantly told
that you're ugly or you're flat chested or you look a certain way
or insult my parents or my sister,
it gets a little scary and gets a little sad
sometimes because I'm like what did I do so wrong you know
because I try to be a kind, nice person, I work very hard.
I'm very sincere about my work. I love acting.
As far as I can remember I wanted to be an actor
so sometimes I'm just like I'm just a girl trying to do my job.
I don't know what I did so wrong to hurt or offend people.
But then I also can understand where people are coming from and it's okay.
What happens when they get downright personal and
make your dad the butt of all jokes?
You know, my dad for example
at home growing up he did have his fair share of failures,
and you know as kids my younger sister Rysa and I have seen that as well.
So that's taken a toll on us in general in another way
but then when people keep bringing it up or laughing...
There was this joke
'Oh, you're calling her a star kid, her dad was never even a star!'
So, things like that affect me especially when it's about my family.
Because I'm obsessed with my family.
It does hurt but you know I've always... I don't want to ever
not own where I come from as well. I'm very happy
of the upbringing I've had. I'm the person I am today because of my parents.
And I'm here to work and entertain people,
make them laugh if you are laughing with me or at me...
-Vijay, I have to ask a serious question. -Yeah.
-Do you like cheese? -I don't mind it
but I'm scared about where this is leading to.
I know. I know
You know? I don't mind...
-Do you know why he should like cheese? -I love cheese platters.
Oh yeah, you always have cheese platters at home.
Yeah, but I believe you are a cheese platter.
-Because? Why? -Oh, he's so cute.
-Maybe I'll have to show you something. -Don't trouble him.
Yeah, show me.
I'm showing you.
Sara, give me a name of a boy you feel like you want to date today.
-No! -C'mon just say it.
-There are so many single boys. -Vijay Deverakonda.
Vijay Deverakonda
Oh my god! You guys have made me do it.
-I promised myself -Vijay Deverakonda!
-I wouldn't do it on this show. -But from what I hear...
-I see you with Vijay Deverakonda? -Are you with Vijay Deverakonda?
-Shut up! No! -Do you like Vijay?
-Everyone likes Vijay. -No!
-Everybody likes everyone. -But I don't like Vijay
-like that. I love Vijay. -He doesn't like Vijay.
We're given Vijay too much importance.
He's sweet and nice. You should please date him.
-Are you trying to... -Okay there you go.
-Why are you passing... -Guys we have
-Janhvi's blessings. -Why are you passing Vijay Deverakonda like he's some.
slice of cheese, like you take him!
-He would love to be a slice of cheese. -It's important guys hello!
We can't be after the same slice of cheese like you said
so now she's giving it to me.
Is there a lot of sliding and DMs happening?
-No! -No one hits on...
Janhvi, don't lie.
-No! -With those picture
-I'm not sure that's true. -Janhvi, you don't lie.
-You're very shady. -The only person
She's saying you're very shady.
I am.
After the way she reacted to this whole Vijay thing.
-You can keep the cheese. -What's the problem?
-I'm telling you. -See, she's giving it to me, you can keep.
-It? -I've never had the cheese.
-I've not. -Okay.
Disaster!
I love it.
That was what they call objectification.
This was 'The Hunger Games'.
It's very stressful.
Sara got so like scary!
-What do you feel? -Vijay, what did that feel like?
They're really kind,
-sweet and beautiful... -Will you stop sounding like
you've just won the Noble prize?
You have not!
Winning their attention is far from Nobel prize I want to tell you.
They just made you sound like a piece of cheese.
They've called him 'it'. You can have it.
I think that kind of felt hot though.
Two girls discussing you.
-Isn't there something you feel about it? -How does it feel?
It's nice like...
So, which one of them do you find hotter?
-They're both really attractive -Say it. Today say it
young women.
You'd like to be on the same platter with them?
Can I say I would like to be on the same platter?
-You want to be on the same platter with them? -You want to pass
-You also want to pass it? -I'm also feeling left out.
Why are you feeling left out?
I also want to fight and be exciting and have some contro things happening.
-Contro? -Yeah.
-You've said enough. -I think you've already started a
relationship of yours.
Now Vijay Deverakonda is not in your domain.
Now we have Aditya Roy Kapur to deal with.
But this was fun, the two girls. I mean there has been
rumors floating around about Janhvi having this big crush on you
and totally loving you and wanting to like...
She's an adorable girl and I'm fond of her.
I've met her a bunch of times and...
You know you're sounding like that
-I'm an old soul, Karan. -Like that good uncle at a wedding.
She's an adorable girl.
-She's a sweet girl. -I've seen her growing up.
She sat on my lap.
You're sounding like that good uncle
who's like with your benevolence and spreading love.
Why can't you just own it? It's fine.
I am owning it. This is my way of owning it I guess.
I suppose.
This is fun. She said she was hitting on you.
These two girls are calling you 'Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast'
-It's all. -It's all good.
I'd love to be Vijay Deverakonda
Well, in your own way you perhaps are.
No! It's very sad my state of affairs.
-What... -There have been a lot of state of affairs.
You just left most of those affairs.
Why didn't you ever hit on me?
-You were in a relationship. -Okay.
Now I'm not.
-True. -True.
-Noted. -Noted.
-He's saying noted. -Noted.
Vijay, Arjun Reddy was a massive success. It had a lot of cult love.
It was remade into Kabir Singh.
Massive hit.
But there was a lot of criticism
for the misogyny of the film. There was a lot of talk about the sexism
you know it was an anti-feminist film.
What is your take on this?
Did you amount Arjun Reddy to intense love
or did you feel that this is something that could offend women when they saw it?
First thing, as an actor,
my job is to empathise with the character and not judge him.
Like if I'm judging him, I can't play him.
Any role that's brought to me,
I try and empathise with him and if I can, I take that role.
If something about it is very conflicting and I don't understand it,
or I don't agree with it, I won't do it.
So if I did Arjun Reddy, I empathise with him.
I understood why he behaved the way he did and the relationship he had with Preeti.
I didn't find it misogynistic
or anti-feministic or something.
It seemed like two people who had a very unique relationship.
That was their relationship and for them it was love.
But is it okay for Arjun Reddy to raise his hand on her?
I'm no one to say if it's right or wrong but they two did it
and they had a happily ever after life
and they had a kid.
-You see the movie ending with a kid. -Yeah.
But I'm not saying nobody should have a problem with it.
You should have a problem with him.
Imagine you've been in a relationship which was abusive
and then you see this film,
it's painful to watch this happening on screen.
These are your worst nightmares as a woman, as a wife or as a girlfriend
and you see it playing out on a screen, you'll fucking hate it.
And I understand that you disagree with it and I respect that you don't like it.
But you looked at it as you
-were portraying a character... -Yeah.
And you removed your own personal beliefs and played that character.
-And I played that... -Because Vijay Deverakonda
would never be an Arjun Reddy?
I would never raise my hand...
If it reaches a point where I feel such anger towards a woman, I will walk out.
It'll never reach a point where it gets abusive in any nature.
You don't need that stress in life. If something is stressful, walk off.
Ananya, as a girl you know from this Gen Z generation,
you're not even a millennial.
-You're Gen Z. -Oh god!
These kind of dominating men when gets accepted by women
-across the country... -Yeah...
You know, I mean there are of course many women that spoke about it
in an absolutely justifiable, rightfully
negative way about the portrayal of the character
the portrayal of how he treated Preeti in the film
but then I go and see the film
and the film is also packed with a lot of women watching, you know!
I didn't ask them whether they liked it or not,
were offended or not but they sat through till the end
and the fact that it's done this box office number
that means people have watched it of both genders.
Like lots of women have come and asked me
are you Arjun Reddy in life? And I'm like no, I'm not. I'm an actor.
But they were like where can we find them
because we want someone like him in our lives
-because they saw... -My point...
The protective nature of him, they saw somebody who
But as I said I've had women tell me they loved the film
as well. So are you that girl that loved Arjun Reddy?
I love the songs in the film and I thought their performances were amazing
but I don't think that's something that I would be okay
with or accepting of in a relationship at all
if I see it around me even with any of my friends
I also think it's scary.
The thing is with cinema is that a lot of people also see it happening on screen
so, then they think it's okay to start behaving like that in real life.
-So, I think that's scary. Exactly. -It's an impressionable medium.
For me what's scary is when
people believe that because they see something on screen
it's okay to start behaving like that in real life.
So that would be something that's scary and I think....
But what do you think about
when you have girls around? Do you think they're okay with an Arjun Reddy to be
to someone they're very attracted to?
Honestly, if he's saying people have come up
to him then I'm sure there are people like that.
I just am not surrounded by those people.
And I would not advise any of my friends to
be okay with it but that's just how I am.
Well, bingo.
That's the way to be,
and bingo reminds me of.
a fun thing that we have
-called 'Koffee Bingo'. -Oh.
This is the first time we have introduced this element,
-in this season, Koffee Bingo. -Okay.
You have these iPads next to you.
You just have to basically circle or tick
what applies to you and what doesn't.
Will you cross question us?
Yes, why do you think
-I am making you do all this? -Oh shit.
-See that changes things. -There is questioning to follow.
Vijay's Bingo.
-Let's start with something. -Body count means?
No. Flirted my way out of trouble.
Oh god, I feel like a mess.
You have ticked everything.
Yeah.
Applied makeup to cover a hickey.
Ignored a co-star's advances. Hello, tick it.
It's my advances.
-The one I didn't notice. -Yeah.
Ananya is saying, it's her advances that you have ignored.
Done.
Alright, let's have a look at Ananya's Bingo.
Ignored a co-star's advances. Who hit on you?
Tara.
-Tara hit on you? -Deepika. Bhumi.
Tara, you didn't, see? She kept on attacking me on the couch.
She keeps on trying to kiss and hug me.
-Tara Sutaria? -Yes.
Oh, so that's fine.
But I ignored it.
Oh, you ignored it. You are not into Tara.
I love her but...
You don't love her.
Okay.
Lied about my relationship status. Just now you did.
Yeah.
Applied makeup to cover a hickey.
Yeah.
Like what do you use? What products do you use?
-Concealer. -Concealer.
I mean I had it once. I had a problem once.
-Because it was... -I'll help you.
I'll help you.
I don't know where the hickey was.
-That's what I am scared about. -Must be.
-On a place where you have to conceal it. -It has to be here.
Hickeys are always here.
Not always Karan.
I mean below that, you are anyway covered.
What shows is here.
I don't think anyone is eating your face.
-Oh, you have been. -I got here once.
-Someone gave you hickey on your face? -yeah.
-Was it a bruise or a hickey? -Who was it?
How can I say who now?
And it's not a bruise.
Who is this vampire?
Vampire.
You had a vampire.
Who does it here?
Now it was done. What was done is done.
And it had to be covered.
Alright, checked your partners phone. You really do that?
I know it is wrong.
-But you do. -I have done it.
I'll never do it again.
But what if it's face ID?
-Yeah, and they have a lock code. -It's never been face ID.
I know passwords and all.
When they are typing it,
I just remember the code.
Oh.
As I said disaster.
She is a dangerous one. Yeah.
Texted someone, 'Hey, you up?'
Do you mean 'Hey, you up', in which way?
Like awake way or up in other ways?
I don't have to explain.
Oh.
Karan it's too much, I don't want to say.
Oh my god I can't speak...
Okay.
Alright. Vijay.
-You have answered everything. -Yes.
You have ignored a co-star's advances.
-We already have discussed that. -It's not just me.
-You have ignored Ananya's advances. -Yeah.
Why have you ticked 4 times on got rejected?
Were you really upset about this
-role? -Yeah.
It caused me pain then so.
Which film was it?
In the early stages of my career.
-You got rejected. -Like you would keep auditioning and,
keep getting a no so.
-It was really frustrating so... -Yeah, you remember the angst from there.
Applied makeup to cover a hickey.
-Of course. -I have.
And what is yours? Are concealers also your go to thing?
Apparently, that's what they do.
My makeup man does it so.
-Oh, he does it so. -Oh, so he knows about your little funky behavior?
Maybe it was my collar.
Oh.
Turned up hungover on a set, fab. Love that.
But have you ever been caught doing that when you do?
Luckily, once the shoot was called off.
It was one of my early films, there was a birthday party the previous day
so, we all were heavily drunk.
Other times I have got drunk on set.
For the character.
Yeah, because you are doing a scene where you are drinking,
drank and then you go a little heavy, and then you're actually drunk.
Once we had to call off the shoot because,
I couldn't remember my lines and I kept laughing.
Otherwise, it's fun.
Done it at a public place, love it. Love it. Loo?
No, it was a boat.
-Was a boat? -Yeah.
-In the middle of the ocean. -Yeah.
Nobody else or like a...
No, it was like a small yacht.
Is that like sexy.
I don't do all these things.
You have not done it in a public place.
I've not done it.
-Never say never. -You are a virgin.
My parents are going to watch.
So, what do they think, they have a vestal virgin at home?
Yes.
No other public place like, hotel loos?
Cars.
-Cars are fun. -Cars.
But aren't they uncomfortable? I have never done anything in a car.
Desperate times.
Finally.
Desperate measures. Desperate times.
But you weren't driving.
-No, no. -Okay.
What can you do if somebody is driving? Oh okay.
I don't know, I have seen it in movies.
Okay fine.
Texted someone 'Hey, you up'?
Great way to flirt.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
You are saying as,
if you are genuinely asking with concern
He is acting as if someone else
has ticked his answers for him.
I didn't know if it was a great way to.
It's just a get to the point sort of way you know.
-Yeah. -Rather than,
dilly dallying.
Yeah. Yeah.
So now, tell me one thing.
Before I get really down
-and dirty with the rapid-fire round. -Okay.
I just want to know is there something you want to confess to me today.
I feel like there should be but there's nothing.
Did I do something wrong?
Are you jealous of your contemporary?
No but healthy competition is there.
Do you think you're better than Sara and Janhvi?
No, we're all good.
Do you think you're better?
I want to be the best!
Who are you complexed by?
I have my insecurities.
You're making it sound like I'm crying on this show.
But why?
I mean I get insecure and stuff
because I really want to be the best.
-Like I expect a lot from me. -Are you lonely today?
Am I lonely today?
-I have good company. -Not with him, in the moment.
-In the moment I mean... -Because you're single.
I'm single but I'm happy being single right now.
So, everything's lovely.
-Hunky-Dory. -Your best friends are Shanaya and Suhana.
And there's going to be no competition between them.
-Sara and Jahnvi are your... -Am I being too naive?
Your besties... Is there somebody you don't like in the business?
No right now I like everyone.
You think somebody doesn't like you?
I don't know if they don't like me but I think people don't like me.
-You think people don't like you? -Yeah, I can see people not liking me.
Yeah, I won't be surprised.
-Okay, all right. -Yeah.
I'm not going to ask you these questions, Vijay.
Why not? Why did this thing happen to me suddenly?
It was called the Koffee Inquisition.
-Oh god! It was me. -Would like a Koffee Inquisition?
I wouldn't mind one.
When did you last have sex?
-Is there no abort? -When did you last have sex?
-Can I guess?
-Yeah. -Today morning.
No.
-Last night. -Firstly, it's this morning.
This...You've become Tara!
-Everyone keeps correcting -Yeah
-my English on the show. -I'm a grammar Nazi.
Last night.
-Yeah, last night. -Okay.
Have you ever been in a threesome?
No.
Would you want to be in a threesome?
Wouldn't mind, maybe.
Okay. What is better for you a big blockbuster
or the best sex you've ever had?
Blockbuster.
All right, that gives you an orgasm?
Makes me feel good.
Okay, after you leave from this set and finish with this thing
I'm not having sex.
No....
I'm not saying you're having sex.
I was going to say
We're having a 'Liger' promotional meeting which I really
-look forward to. -No one invited me for that!
-No, you are invited. You're here. -Okay.
Okay. When is the last time you cried?
I guess a month ago.
What made you cry?
I cry like... Yeah, I cry.
I've cried once. We've teared up once together.
Sweet.
-All right. -I was the shoulder to cry on.
Very rare for you because you really don't care about other people's...
-I do, Karan. I do -I was there for you
-That day you were very... -Was she a good listening ear to you?
Yeah, she was. That night she was.
That night.
I got you!
That night.
-One night. -That single solo night...
But when two people get emotional, doesn't it lead to things as well?
It led to a lot of sushi.
-Yeah. -To what?
Sushi.
All right, thank you so much. That was the Koffee Inquisition.
-And I hope that it wasn't traumatising. -I'm sweating, I need a dab.
Now we're going to get into the massive inquisition
which is what we call the rapid fire round.
-I'll take my heels off. -Vijay, this is your first time
-on Koffee with Karan. -Yeah.
Therefore, this is your first rapid fire round.
-Yeah. -And you're a competitive guy I know.
-I am. -And winning this should matter to you.
So just give your answers in your stoic manner
but there still should be amazingly wonderful answers
and you may have a chance at winning because I don't get to decide this time.
Somebody else decides?
-Yes. -Okay.
But before that I need to change into my reading glasses.
Those were just for glamour.
Yes, now I can see this, but I can't see you'll!
So, I have to keep doing this also through this show.
I turned 50. Things have changed.
Nothing has changed.
I want to introduce you to
what we call our very loved Koffee gang.
-Okay. -Ladies and gentlemen,
can we meet the Koffee gang?
-Okay. -Hello.
Hi.
-It's a jury. -Yes.
It's a jury.
So guys, you're ready to vote for either Vijay or Ananya?
Yes.
I'm giving hugs to whoever votes for me.
Can I just say
that guys please wait, I'll also give hugs.
Before we start, ladies and gentlemen,
please can we turn on the Jaquar lights for rapid fire.
Are you ready? I'm going to start with you, Ananya.
-No but why? -Thank you.
-Okay, fine. -You've played this game before.
-It's not fair to him. -Yeah.
I won last time.
This is the hamper.
It's large.
Very worthy to win. It's got lot of fun stuff and it's very expensive.
-Are you ready? -Yes.
Who's the most desirable man in India? Indian cinema only.
Vijay clearly. There's Hunger Games going on for him. Very desirable.
-He's the most desirable man! -He's a hottie.
Yeah. -Would you like to see him completely nude?
I have a little bit in Liger but I mean who wouldn't?
Okay.
What if Shanaya, Suhana and you are in the running for the same dream role,
would you step aside or ask them to step aside?
They'd get one kick and I know they'd be giving 3 kicks back.
And it should be like that only.
Meaning what would happen?
-I don't know about this kickboxing. -Competition.
It's on.
Would you ask them to step aside or would you step aside?
-We would compete fairly. -Fight it out.
-Fairly. It'll be a fair competition. -Okay.
The one regrettable thing that you've done in a relationship.
Been in the relationship.
-Oh okay. -Quite regrettable, yes.
Okay. Which celebrity posts the most thirst traps on their Instagram account?
Ranveer.
-Ranveer Singh. -Did you see the towel series he did?
-A towel series? -Yeah.
-On Instagram. -You are enjoying.
I love Ranveer.
-Yeah? -He's like a video game character.
Like I just love him.
-Yeah? -Yeah, Ranveer Singh.
Okay.
Sexts or photos, your weapon of flirtation?
-Sexting your photos. -Why you have to choose like that?
You have to sexting or photos,
-your weapon of flirting. -Video call.
-Video calls can be... -So you video call while you're sexting.
Yeah, a little bit of everything. Keep it open.
-Yeah. -Like a buffet of stuff.
-Pick and choose. -Okay nice.
Vijay Devarakonda in Arjun Reddy or Shahid Kapoor
in Kabir Singh the better performance.
You know that maid in that scene where she's running was really good.
I don't remember having her in the comparison.
I think,
-I would choose Sandeep Reddy Vanga Sir... -So, you're trying to be politically correct
-that means you don't think Vijay.. -I think they're both good.
I actually can't choose.
-They were very good. -You'll both were very good.
-You can win the hamper, I'm just saying. -See him in Liger.
She's being politically correct.
-You still have some chances of redemption. -Okay.
The most hilarious rumor you've heard about your dad Chunky Panday.
That he paid to get me into the industry
and I think everyone knows that my dad hates to pay for things.
So, it's pretty ridiculous I would say.
Okay, good.
Tell us two scandalous lies and one scandalous truth about yourself
without telling which is which.
Okay, I kiss and tell.
I hate my contemporaries.
And I don't know, I can't think one. You can choose between these two.
So, you kiss and tell is the truth.
You have to answer that?
-Yeah. -Okay.
I'm not confirming or denying which one is true or which one is not
You can't hate all your... Or you hate all your contemporaries.
-Okay. -But what does kiss and tell mean?
Like I don't keep anything a secret.
-Okay. -Kissing and tell meaning like
she kisses and then she tells
-her girl gang who she kissed. -Yeah.
-Okay. -Which I'm guaranteeing you is the truth.
Okay.
But I also think she hates her contemporaries
and she's lying about the fact that it is a lie.
That is not a lie. That is also true.
She has no interest in her contemporaries. I can quite...
I don't have to give this answer.
You may not have to say it but your face said it all.
Fill in the blanks. The way to my bed is...
Through my sister's room because it's connected.
Oh dear! So, your sister knows it all.
Sadly yeah.
-She's seen it all. -Not seen.
But our rooms are connected.
That's really sad.
-It is sad. -That's a sad passage.
She's going to college in September so then...
So then... oh!
Three things that instantly turn me on
Hands.
-Like I love like veiny hands... -Like people's hands.
Yeah, not just hands. People connected to those hands.
Really good smell and if you give me butter chicken.
So, then you should find a chef.
-That'll be perfect. -Because they have good hands
they'll make butter chicken for you.
They will smell of food
-which is also what you like. -Yeah.
-So, then you should be dating a chef. -Yeah.
I also like people who are very forward.
-As in? -With their feelings.
-Very outward? -Yeah, very outward.
Ananya Panday is the happiest when?
I'm in love and I'm in love quite often.
-I fall in love. -Which Bollywood celebrity
would be the perfect male stripper at your bachelorette?
It's tough between Varun and Ranveer.
I would like to have both but I want them to audition.
What do you think is the relationship status of the following celebrities?
Vijay Deverakonda
I feel like he's in a rush.
-I'm in a rush? -To meet Mika Singh.
Get it?
He's in a rush to meet Mika Singh.
-Yes. -You think that?
Yes, I think.
He's...
It's a very far fetched line. If you get it, you get it.
Yeah.
-Tiger Shroff. -He knows his Disha
His directions are quite clear.
Janhvi Kapoor.
Janhvi is a single pringle.
She's a single pringle. I like it. Headline. Kiara Advani.
-Her Raataan's are very Lambiyan. -Who's her romeo then?
-Wake up Sid! -Yeah, Wake up, Sid.
All right, last question.
Starting so young in this industry, you've come a long way
-in the pursuit of your passion. -Yeah.
What's the one thing about acting that truly floats your boat?
I love crying.
Yeah, whenever I have to cry in a scene, it's like everything comes out.
It's my favourite part about acting.
-It's crying? -Yeah.
-Are you a glyc girl or a... -Everything.
It's a buffet there also.
-There also. -But I love letting it out.
-You love crying. -Because I don't cry much in real life.
All right, thank you, Ananya.
-That was lovely. -Not bad.
-Okay.
I'm not saying anything. That's for the jury to decide.
Vijay, who do you think is the most desirable woman in India?
-Samantha. -I knew he would say that.
-You're doing a film with Samantha. -Yeah.
-Hope you express... -And it's a love story.
You expressed your feelings
-to her that you find her hot. -She knows that.
-She knows. -Yeah.
In one word describe your relationship with the following. Allu Arjun.
Like an older brother.
Older brother Rashmika Mandanna
She's a buddy, she's special.
She's a special buddy.
Puri Jagannadh
He's like let's do epic shit partner.
Like he's my, he's like a father, guide,
director, multiple things. I love him.
Samantha Prabhu
She's a darling. She's amazing. She's an incredible woman.
I love her. Dulquer Salmaan.
He's like my kind of man. I think
if we were in the same city we'd be really good friends.
-He's like my kind of person. -Yeah.
Nice. Really cool guy.
Tell us two scandalous lies and one scandalous truth about yourself
without telling which is which.
I really want to be a one woman man for life.
I think I have just 5-6 movies in me before I quit.
-Okay. -I hope that's a lie.
I've no fucking clue of who I am.
That's true.
The last one is the truth and those are the
-So, you don't want to be a one woman man. -No, I do want to be a one woman man.
-I guess I... -I don't believe it.
-Really? -Yeah.
-We didn't ask you by the way. -I told the jury.
-This is his rapid fire. -Okay.
Okay, I think I am just guessing
I think I don't know who the fuck I am is the biggest truth you said today.
A tag you won't mind being associated with. Which one?
Playboy, heart breaker or perfect boyfriend.
Perfect boyfriend.
Do or die?
Would you or would you not pose naked for an international magazine?
I wouldn't mind if shot well.
-Mouth raunchy lines for a song. -Maybe not.
Have an embarrassing social media rant.
I'm never embarrassed.
Endorse a condom.
I think it's a really smart safe thing to do
if you don't want to have 10 babies. This is my endorsement right now.
Sign him.
I'll say names of different celebrities and you've to say
the first thing that comes to your mind. Deepika Padukone.
There's one love....
I have love for her and she's also exuding love.
Love. Alia Bhatt.
Mad talent.
-Disha Patani. -Athletic.
Athletic!
-Good answer. -She can somersault and all...
From Alia Bhatt mad talent
-he's made her... -I can also do a somersault.
-You can? -A somersault!
-Do it. -I don't want to see you. -Do means okay fine.
-Somersault! She can do a better thing. -Kiara Advani
I like her.
-Sara Ali Khan -Witty, funny
Janhvi Kapoor
Cute
-Ananya Panday? -Finally.
My first co-star.
That wasn't a quality. That was a status.
-It's a special place. -All right.
Say I'm the best person you know.
She's one of the funniest and nice people I know.
Little juvenile but really adorable.
Other people you only say good things. Only when
He's called you juvenile. -No but you're adorable man!
-I love you. -An adorable juvenile.
The way to your bed is?
Oh, it's like one really big process. It's hard to get there.
How many obstacles do you have to cross....
You have to check really a lot of things.
All right. The sexiest things that someone can say to you in bed would be?
-Would be? -I'm doing telepathy
You can hear it?
-Yeah. -That.
-Think I know what you're saying. -Would you like to articulate it?
I'm not sure.
Is it your name?
-Works. -His name I thought.
Was the answer I got.
-But the line is not. -Oh Vijay! Oh Vijay! Oh Vijay!
That can't be the one
that gets it to him!
I feel it's sexy to say someone's name not so many times, maybe once
You have to keep saying it when you're aroused.
You can't just say it once Vijay and stop.
That'll be like you're a
I don't think it should be words.
-Just sound. -He's into actions.
I don't think it should be articulated into
-text that has meaning. -So, you like sounds. I like sounds.
Yeah, it shouldn't be text that has a meaning.
Yeah. You like noises?
Yeah.
-I like my name. -You like nursery rhymes?
You want them to say Mary had a little lamb?
I hope they don't say that.
It would be very wrong.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Twinkle twinkle
-Oh no! -Imagine somebody having sex
with you and singing nursery rhymes.
-You would be... -Please don't get any ideas.
You've called me juvenile also. I'm very stressed.
All right, last question.
Acting was a very unconventional choice for you, Vijay.
And now you've made it to the silver screen in a big way.
What pushed you to always do what you do and what floats your boat as an actor?
I do it for myself.
I love acting. I love with the money that comes with it, the comfort, the luxury,
what I can provide for my family.
I love that about it but I also feel there is a bigger purpose
for what's happened to me in my life.
I feel a part of it is to represent
like 6 out of my 10 friends were people who couldn't
afford to go on school trips
because you didn't know if you could pay the fee or
you couldn't go to movies with your friends
because your rent is important but you have dreams.
You have big dreams, you want to make it but
you don't even know if it's okay to have that dream
and your own family will tell you don't dream so big.
And it's important like if they see that I came from there and did it
then anybody in this fucking country can.
When I was growing up, I saw Shah Rukh coming from Delhi
or Chiranjeevi Garu back home coming from nothing.
They gave you this glimmer of hope that it can be done.
I think I need to do the same for my generation
and the people that come after me
because it does help and it does show you a way
so I feel that's what
-floats my boat or pushes me... -That floats your boat.
-Yeah. -Well, I wish you more power in that zone
-and that was the rapid fire round. -It's a very good answer.
Ananya Panday and Vijay Deverakonda
and we need the jury to reach a verdict.
Hold each other's hands
-because now it's time for the results. -Oh yeah.
Now you'll can both behave like Miss Universes.
You know both like at that juncture.
All right, has the jury reached the verdict?
Okay and here we go. Here we go.
-Oh and... -It'll change. -No, it won't change.
-Vijay Deverakonda sweeps the rapid fire -What?
-I don't believe this. -With 68%
Can I just tell you I went in to bribe the jury before and it's clearly not worked.
What was your bribe?
-I just said hi. -Vijay Deverakonda won
at 68% which I would call a sweeping majority.
Ananya Panday loses
-and I feel so so sorry for you, Ananya. -It's your last one.
A slow clap for your attempt.
I heard, I saw and I'm upset.
They're all doing slow claps.
-Yeah, but Vijay for the -It's sad because
-very first time you appear and conquer. -I can actually hear them all.
-Thank you so much, Karan. -This is the coveted hamper
-that Ananya has lost. -There has to be some mistake.
No darling, those were your answers.
That's rude.
-I can't believe I won. -You just tease.
I was very prepared to...
I don't want to talk to you anymore.
-Were you happy with... -I don't want to talk, no.
Well, Ananya Panday, there is scope for redemption.
-Don't think so. -Oh, there is?
Yes, because we play, in our last segment of this show, the quiz.
-Don't think there's any redemption. -Oh fuck! I forgot this.
Let's go to MyGlamm zone
for some glam, slam and some games.
All right, so this is the game round. It's very simple.
-I will ask you questions. -Okay.
You have the answer, please know
if you beep first only then will I ask you.
-Oh stressful! -So be very alert
because it's all about pace and pace.
-Who are you praying to? -God! Who else?
-You'll win. -All right.
In this round I will be asking you questions ranging from Bollywood
to general knowledge and pop culture.
Whoever answers right wins a point.
I'll fail.
All right, this round is called Who am I?

-What item number is this? -Sheila Ki Jawani.
Oh!
Okay, you won that, I'll give you 2 points for that because this was a performance.
We're coming straight to 'Hey it's me.'
You have to call celebrities and ask them to say Hey Karan it's me.
And ask what they're doing and where they are.
Each celebrity you get a point and a half for.
What if they don't pick up?
-I'm getting stressed. -A point and a half.

-Why? -Hey Karan it's me Janhvi.
And what are you'll doing?
Where are you and what are you doing?
We're shooting in France. We are not in the city with you guys.
All right, you win three points for that.
Now it's a tie and we have an important tie breaker question.
-Okay. -Are you ready?
-Are you both ready for this tie breaker? -Yeah.
Please tell me the lead actress
of the 1989 film released Maine Pyar Kiya.
Bhagyashree.
-Why are you whispering? -Bhagyashree.
-Bhagyashree it is. -Bhagyashree.
Yes.
Well done, Ananya. You win the games round.
Congratulations, sir. You did really well.
And congratulations ma'am.
Let's now please go back to our seats
for our last thanks yous and perhaps a little bit of sexiness.
Here is your wonderful gift.
It's so cute. This will be breaking a lot.
This will be breaking a lot?
In case of love
at first sight, break glass.
I'll be breaking it every day.
With a sledgehammer.
So, he wins the rapid fire you win this. This is the correct balance.
Vijay, very quickly, what was your experience
on Koffee with Karan for the first time?
-It was fun. Really chill. -Did you have a good time?
-Yeah, it was fun. -It was fun.
Ananya, your second time. I know you met with some disappointment
because you lost the rapid fire
-to an audience. -It was hectic.
It was hectic this time like I was very affected by my loss this time.
But it's okay I would not want to come with anyone but Vijay.
So, I had a great time.
And I hope I make it to the next season.
You will make it to every season for every reason
because you're so hot and looking so super fashionable today.
What makes your fashion a cut above the rest by the way?
Confidence and a smile.
Vijay, you are exceptionally stylish as well.
-You're looking very good. -Thank you.
-And very nice today -Thank you.
Do you think your fashion is a cut above the rest?
What makes it or you just dress the way you feel?
I just wear what feels right to me.
I like a particular aesthetic and I dress to that.
Well, what feels right to me is that Liger is going to release at a theater near us
on the 25th of August, a worldwide release.
And we just hope and pray that the box office storm we expect happens.
It will.
So, I'd like to sign off by saying
thank you so much for being on Koffee with Karan
Before I let you go, please sign the cup right next to you.
And it gets very beautifully placed in our Koffee wall of fame.
Give it up for Liger and let's go drop our Koffee mugs off.
There are so many people hitting on him that I get lost a little bit.
You didn't do like a clear enough job.
I've worn this neon thing to be in your face. Look at me.
-You look very beautiful today. -You look beautiful.
