Ok WOW! I have a lot to say in defense of Miss Lara Dutta.
First of all, the woman is Miss Universe. You don't just become miss universe in a snap. It takes a lot of work, dedication, and most of all sincerity to win that title. After her winning something so prestigious as Miss universe, i don't think a silly show like Koffee with Karan that is purely meant for gossip and entertainment, should be a determining factor of what people think of Lara Dutta.
Sure she said a few things about people such as Gracy Singh and Amisha Patel, but this is a show! And so what if she did? She obviously knows what she will have to deal with, yet that didn't stop her. I think she is a very confident woman and doesn't care what people think of her. There is a fine line between being a b**** and being confident and Lara Dutta knows it. She has her good friends in the industry and outside of it and isn't going to sit and think what comments will effect who.
As for Amisha Patel, the girl has had problems from day one. She sued her own parents and went to live with Vikram Bhatt without marriage. That's another thing. She has said so many nasty thinks about Lara living with Kelly, yet the difference was that Lara has been open about her relationship with Kelly for the past 8 years where Amisha seems to be ashamed of hers with Vikram and can't even admit it in interviews.
Lara Dutta has every right to be soaring high with her reviews in Jhoom Barabar Jhoom and the success of Partner. She was a part of Partner and also deserves equally to be a part of it's success.
I respect people that are outspoken and blunt. But mainly I think Lara was just trying to provide the entertainment viewers expect out of KWK. You gotta admit...how boring is it to see so many of KWK's guests being so scared to answer such questions? Spit it out already!
As for her thinking she could have done Don better than Priyanka, I agree with her. I forget that Priyanka was even in the movie. Lara was asked to choose one and she did. I admire how she isn't afraid to answer any of the questions and does very rapidly which is the purpose of the segment.
Lara also does so many things outside of films that most actresses have "no time" for. She is active in the Women's rights movement, Aids awareness, children's charities, and airforce charities as well.
Basically, seeing her on Koffee with Karan shouldn't form negative opinions in people's minds towards her. Look at some of the other things she does as well and give her some credit.
