TRANSCRIPT: Baba Ramdev appears on Koffee With Karan

The camera pans to the staircase, where two hands come down the steps. The camera moves to the top, where instead of Baba Ramdev's face, his feet bob about in the air. The crowd goes "Ohhh!" as Baba Ramdev walks down the staircase on his hands and comes to a stop in front of Karan.

Karan unsuccessfully tries to peck Baba's feet, then gives up.

Karan: Okay, come back to normal na. I can't hug your feet, yaa!

Ramdev does a somersault and lands on his feet. Relieved, Karan gives him a hug and tries to peck him on the cheeks, but finds nothing but hair. Ramdev grins in trademark fashion. Karan gives up and goes towards his couch.

Karan (taking a seat): Welcome to Koffee with Karan, darling. Is this your first time? (Ramdev takes his seat)

Ramdev (looks around the studio): Baap re! This looks like the kinda house people come to for honeymoons!

Karan (giggles): Haha! So, Babaji, what's happening? Who are you dating? Who are you sleeping with? (tilts his head, winks and smiles)

Ramdev (taken aback): Sssh...cameras and microphones are around!

Karan: Haha, you cannot escape this question, my dear! Who are you sleeping with?

Ramdev (grins his goofy grin): My yoga mat and some incense sticks.

Karan (turns to the camera and makes a face, before turning back to Baba Ramdev): Ohkayyy..this time, to the man who might've done rapid breathing a million times, let me start off with the rapid fire! If you woke up one morning as Rahul Gandhi, you would?

Ramdev: Elope with a Dalit and get married!

Karan (laughs): Aaah! What would you find in the following people's bedrooms? Subramanian Swamy?

Ramdev: Shelves filled with case files.

Karan: Ram Jethmalani?

Ramdev: The same thing and some whisky.

Karan (laughs): Hehe, okay! Narendra Modi?

Ramdev: A Hundred different kurtas.

Karan: Alright. Praveen Togadia?

Ramdev: Nothing that is not Saffron.

Karan: Hmm. (taps on his smartphone). Okay, next question. At gunpoint, if you were forced into a gay encounter, whom would you choose?

Ramdev (looks briefly stunned): No one. I would teach them all kapalabhati and cure them of their disease.

Karan: Ah! I see. Hmm.

Ramdev (gets up all of a sudden): Okay, bahut ho gaya. I gotta go! Thank you for having me, Karan.

Karan: Oh, you are not going anywhere, darling!

Karan grabs Ramdev by the hand and pulls him back. They lose their balance and end up falling on the couch, Karan's phone is caught in Ramdev's beard. Karan slowly pulls it out and returns to his chair.

Karan: Let's continue (flashes a mischevious grin) Okay, next one. Kill marry or hookup. Choose one for each, Deepika, Priyanka, Kareena.

Ramdev's eyes widen, and he sits motionless for a few seconds. Then suddenly, he points at something under Karan's couch and yells, "Cockroach! Cockroach", making Karan squeal in terror and leap from his couch.

After Karan looks around and finds nothing under his couch, he turns to Ramdev indignantly, but Ramdev is gone. "Babaji, where are you?" he says.

Outside the studio, a figure in a white salwar kameez is seen fleeing from the studio, as bystanders watch in bemusement. Fade out.

Karan: Haha, you cannot escape this question, my dear! Who are you sleeping with?

Ramdev (grins his goofy grin): My yoga mat and some incense sticks.

LMAO 🤣🤣
