Great article! 👍🏼 I totally agree. This season of KWK seems like it's specially designed to create controversies. The whole concept/point of the show seems malicious in its intent. It totally feels like Karan especially calls all the stars to talk this kind of malicious crap about other stars. That's what he expects and that's what the stars give him. And apparently that's what 'entertainment' is these days. 🤔

The only episode I actually liked this season was the Ajay Devgan one...and maybe the Amitabh one a little as well. Since the intent of those episodes seemed more towards getting to know the stars instead of the usual creating controversies and badmouthing other actors. Maybe it was because both of these celebrities are so respected that Karan himself was behaving more in these episodes. 😆 :P The questions didn't seem as designed to bring out malicious answers.

The past seasons of KWK were fun to watch because it felt like you were getting an insider on how your favourite actors actually are in real life. Most of the stars would just act themselves and you could see an actual comraderie and respect between most actors. The show was designed as a friendly chat/getting to know people since Karan has that inside advantage of knowing them all personally.

But this season is totally fake, scripted and malicious in its intent. Even the stars seem to want to appear on this show to make themselves look better. I'm quite sick of all this "sexual" /risque kind of comments as well. Totally lame and trying too hard to impress type of comments are made by actors this season, and Karan himself seems to be asking for exactly this kind of a response. So called dignity and grace are traits totally unheard of in this show. Both from the host's side and from the guests' side.

Sure the media these days isn't helping with creating this kind of an atmosphere in bollywood. But this very season of KWK I feel is adding more fuel to fire than necessary. It's totally not needed. Not to mention just plain boring and tiresome to watch. 👎🏼

Couldn't agree more on this.......
So true.........

And one more thing i would like to add why is Karan so partial i mean why he always say "DEEpika or Sonam: the better future?"

As if there are no other actress left. How can he Forget SONAKSHI SINHA or for that matter ANOUSHKA SHARMA?
Both of them are sooooo good actress and at least better than the two mentioned above.

Very interesting article.

As Pragya said, times have changed, people are more open and blunt . They do not hesitate to speak their mind and many girls do not feel it necessary to act shy and bat their eye-lashes and guys.. the less said the better. You cant expect people to talk with straight faces and act like angels.

Having said that, if you're tying to act cool, everything looks forced and unnatural and makes people like me puke and shudder. What was up with some of the cheap and unnecessary "jokes" on kwk? I would bring them up but since I'm being a good girl (for now), I don't wanna start fan wars.

Be natural people, dont try to act cool and hip if you're not; but I guess it's hard to expect that from some celebs. We all wear masks of some sort but some celebs, jeeeeez , they wear masks made of cement, steel and iron combined.

LOL to me, it feels like these celebrities think up of things to say before they get on the show.

ESPECIALLY Deepika, oh my lordy. her condom "joke" looked like she'd rehearsed it in front of the mirror at least 10 times.

Celebs are like, thinking up of bitchy things to say at this show. They've found a khula maidaan in KWK. Before, if they wanted to make a point, they'd have to say it in interviews or to the press, but now there's no need... Karan's show is a rocket oil-drenched area, and karan gives the celebrities the matchstick to set things on fire.

Admittedly niceness is boring, but the trick lies in walking a tightrope between being interesting and not sounding crass at the same time. Ajay Devgan was the only one who's managed to strike a balance between these two till now. Another problem is that of overexposure. Hrithik Roshan, to some extent Suzanne, Deepika, Sonam, Kareena, Saif, Priyanka et al seem to be enjoying a near ubiquitous presence these days. They're invariably on some magazine or the other, or in newspapers sl*gging people off, or constantly in the limelight thanks to tweeting. As such, they tend to become more than a trifle bit commonplace. They are just EVERYWHERE! None of them are intrinsically witty or cool people, and neither are they people these hang out with cool by the looks of it. Taking potshots at others isn't so much fun than being able to laugh at yourself, an ability most, if not all, these Indian celebrities lack. I hardly see anyone poking fun at themselves which would not only be refreshing but would also cushion jibes directed at others. The result: we've got a bunch of utterly unfunny, solipsistic and self-congratulatory celebs who're slowly but surely becoming utterly unbearable who'd sacrifice respectability at the altar of controversy without batting an eyelid. And why not, when the viewers who patronise shows like Big Boss not only endorse but also perpetuate this crass behaviour?
