She kept trying to act vis a vis her body language that she was comfortable by constantly reaching over and touching Kareena but it seemed odd and Kareena just seemed naturally at ease. Normally I feel like PC is good at interviews (other than her disastrous first Ellen appearance) but in this one she was just so fake and trying too hard it made it super tense and uncomfortable. She seemed defensive and also a little condescending. Like she kept trying to put Kareena in her place through various statements.
Although Kareena made her jibes at Priyanka in the past, I thought Priyanka's words on KWK in the past (saying most of the time we don't take her seriously and all) were a little meaner. She didn't seem to have much remorse or reaction while watching it whereas Kareena was more real and cringing and saying nooo don't play this. You smile along with Kareena rather than Priyanka.
Kareena overall is just more comfortable and seems a lot nicer than Priyanka which would be how I felt in real life as well having met them both multiple times. Now this could be because of their life experiences, Kareena has never really had anything hard happen to her in her life whereas Priyanka has had to be a fighter and go out there and encounter all aspects of life and toughen her skin. As such Kareena can afford to be her chill, bimbo-esque self that enjoys being a mom, taking her pick of films offered to her and not working hard, gossiping and all. In any case much like the last time Priyanka came on the show I felt she was uncomfortable and it made me uncomfortable and maybe a lot of it was because she's not close to Karan at all.
My thoughts:
- Karan tried to out Priyanka calling the paps to the airport and being supremely pap ready all the time. Priyanka was having none of it and defended the pap culture and how you have to be ready as this is just the way things are now.
- Karan outed Kareena as being on Instagram in secret and being obsessed with gossip and rating the brides during their weddings, etc. Kareena was mortified and kept deflecting all gossip to Karan.
- Priyanka pretended she doesn't know anything about Bollywood but was super quick to spill the tea and out Kareena's best friend (Malaika) and Arjun which I thought was super rude and weird. Why would you do that in front of them, maybe that was pre-approved I don't know. Seems odd.
- Karan still adores Kareena and thinks she has limitless talent
- Karan made a comment about only one person got off the bus to Hollywood and that's Priyanka, Priyanka made a little awkward but yea face. Drama!
- Priyanka is still obsessed with being "a top Bollywood actress" throwing out on television that she's in talks with two directors to me seemed super unprofessional. She would never do that in Hollywood, she should not do that in Bollywood until something is signed. That was just bizarre! She must have felt really threatened or insecure on that couch to say this.
- Kareena made a joke about Priyanka moving away from her roots and Priyanka was super upset about that.
- Priyanka kept saying the word gup and it was super annoying. Doesn't seem like she has many industry friends.
