Even Karan mentioned it in his last episode of behind the scenes that they make it look western and also if you saw Farah Khan, Deepika and SRk episode, you must have heard Farah mentioning it 2-3 times that he makes all his stuff for NRI's only. His movies, his program is focussed more to impress NRI's rather than millions of Indians who have made them stars. Even I live abroad, but we want to see the real India when we watch these shows. I felt that Simi Garewal's show was better, not that this isnt good. But this looks more fake, the way they come and chit-chat. Just my point of view, dont get offended you all.
I respect your opinion but I disagree with you.
I am not sure what you are trying to look for when you want to see the "real India" in these shows. If you go anywhere in India now, the people that we see in these shows are just like the people you will see there. Everyone is into fashion and being celebrities they should definitely be dressed formally. Sometimes people are comfortable wearing western clothes more than Indian Sari's or shalwar kameezes. I find that most of the youth and the professionals will wear more of western style clothing than indian. There is nothing wrong with that, if all of India can do it, whats wrong if they do it too?
Also, whats wrong with speaking English? I dont get that! If you are in India which supports like 50 languages, and almost all literate Indians know English. So there is nothing to show off when they speak English as far as I can see it. Even Simi Garewal hosted her show only in English.
As far as being "gay" is concerned. Is there anything wrong if he is? India is still years behind in accepting them in society, so it may be hard for him to come forth and say it. May be he is, may be he isn't. But what will be the point of discussing his personal choice or actually..... his genes?
Finally, appealing to the NRI's is not a bad thing. Different movies appeal to different sects of the society. Karan is targetting NRI's as his audience but probably not with KWK as the stars that come on the show are first and foremost hit in India and then abroad.
Again, I respect your opinion but just had to put forth what I had in mind. :)
