TRANSCRIPT: Alok Nath appears on Koffee With Karan
The Koffee With Karan studio is grandly embellished with colourful flowers and lit up with bright diyas, bearing a festive look, as it is all set to welcome the most pious of all its guests.
Karan: Good evening and welcome to another episode of Koffee With Karan. My guest tonight is a senior and respected actor, but an overnight epitome of sanctity and the poster-boy of Indian sanskaar, ladies and gentlemen, the one and only, His Holiness, Shri Alok Nath!
A divine rendition of "Om Jai Jagdish Hare" plays, as Alok Nath appears, sporting a tilak on his forehead, decked in a majestically adorned and embroidered kurta,on the staircase, removes his slippers, bends down to touch the floor with his eyes closed, then touches his chest and then his mouth following which he folds his hands in a prayer. He then comes down barefoot to the arena.
Alok Nath (hands still folded): Namaste, Karan bete!
By force of habit, he closes his eyes with a smile, bends and keeps his hands facing the ground, palms facing him, anticipating Karan to go down on his knees and say Aashirwad di jiye, Babuji'
Alok Nath: Jeete Raho, bete
Karan (Hugs Alok Nath, pecks him on the cheeks): Hello darling! Pleasure to have you with us!
Alok Nath (taken aback): Err..thank you, Karanji.
Karan: How does it feel to be the new poster-boy of Indian culture?
Alok Nath: It feels wonderful. Sab Ishwarji ke kripa hai! Jab acche sanskaar hai aur Bhagwan mein bhakti hai , to sab accha hi hoga!
Karan: Awww, that's so sweet, yaa!
Now, you're also supposed to be a very good singer, so you're gonna have to sing a few lines for us. We won't let you go without it. Your favourite Karan Johar movie song - Disco Deewane, Where's The Party Tonight..whatever! Your choice!
Alok Nath (smiles, closes his eyes in deep meditation, holds his right hand in the air as if sprinkling something, hums): Mmm...Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram, Patita Paavan Sita Ram
(Alok Nath sings the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai song, totally absorbed in it, with such mind-blowing devotion, Karan is astounded)
Karan (shaking his head in awe): Amazing, yaa! Mind-blowing! (Claps his hands)
Alok Nath (looks up with folded hands): Thank you, Bhagwanji!
Karan: Right, we've also heard that you're a huge fan of the late Amrish Puri. So which of his roles do you like the most - Mogambo, surely?
Alok Nath: No no. I liked him the most in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. The way he played Babuji was unbelievable! Itne sanskaar aur bhakti!
Karan (has a straight face and then smiles): Alright, it's time for our rapid fire round! Are you ready?
Alok Nath: Sure, just one minute! (Folds his hands, says a silent prayer and then braces himself)
Karan: Okay, 50 Shades of grey or The Casual Vacancy? The more interesting book? (winks)
Alok Nath: Bhagawad Gita
Karan (smirks): Okay! Sunny Leone, Sherlyn Chopra or Mallika Sherawat? The most beautiful heroine?
Alok Nath: Sonakshi Sinha! My aashirwaad is always with her.
Karan (smiles): Okkayyy..Sex and the City or Gossip Girl? The more engaging show?
Alok Nath: Ramayan by Ramanand Sagar.
Karan (laughs): Sorry! Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Beyonce, Selena Gomes - the artist you admire the most?
Alok Nath: Suresh Wadkar - nothing like his Hanuman Chalisa
Karan: If you were stranded on an uninhabited island with Mallika Sherawat, what would you do?
Alok Nath: Perform her kanyadaan!
Karan (covers his laughter): Okay, final one - at gunpoint, if u were forced into a gay encounter, whom would you pick?
At this point, Alok Nath is shocked, his eyes inflate into bloodshot balloons, his mouth is wide open after being struck dumb. He suddenly clutches his heart with both hands.
Karan (stunned): Alokji, are you...
Alok Nath struggles and gets up, mutters "Hey Ram!" only to collapse and fall on the floor unconscious. Karan then realizes what he's caused.
Karan (yells): CALL THE AMBULANCE, QUICK! He's had a heart attack!
Fade out.
