In what could be deemed a display of sheer snobbery, none of Karan Johar's guests from Bollywood agreed to feature on his popular talk show with Rakhi Sawant. Says a source, "Karan tried to convince a number of guests, but failed. Finally, Karan had no choice but to request two of Rakhi's colleagues from Bigg Boss, Carol Gracias and Rahul Roy to join her."
When contacted about this sad state of affairs, Rakhi appeared unfazed, as usual. She said, "I guess, no one was ready to share the screen with me. But, I am okay with it. Main akele hi kaafi hoon. It is true that I shot the entire episode alone. But two people did come in the end as surprise guests." (We know they were Carol and Rahul.)
The 'fun' episode isn't the only installment of Koffee With Karan that the host has been shooting. In the last two weeks Karan has shot some of the most difficult combination of guests, trying to beat the deadline even while attending the preliminaries to the Ash-Abhishek wedding.
The toughest job was to bring all the Kapoors together. Says a source, "Karan got the three Kapoor brothers Randhir, Rishi and Rajiv, sister Reema and Neetu Singh together on the same show. Only Raj Kapoor's elder daughter Ritu Nanda (Shweta Bachchan's mother-in-law) was missing."
In another episode Ekta Kapoor comes on with three of her favourite blue-eyed boys from Balaji Telefilms, namely Ronit Roy, Hiten Tejwani and Ram Kapoor. Then, in what promises to be one of Karan's favourite tte--tte he chats up Madhuri Dixit. Everyone knows Karan is a huge Madhuri fan. He in fact was a kind of assistant during Dil To Pagal Hai, and adores Mathur since then. At the end of Madhuri's show Karan calls Rani Mukherjee, who herself is a huge Madhuri fan.
The last episode for the season was recorded a few days ago. It brings together Shilpa and her sister Shamita and even ropes in their mother at the end. That brings the curtain down on this season of Koffee With Karan. It's unlikely that Karan will be back with a third season since he's now part of NDTV's new entertainment channel.
