OK, finally watched this. I had to see what everyone was talking about. As a 48 year old American woman from San Francisco I've pretty much seen it all, and done it all. My son is a 15 year old boy who has seen countless films with people kissing and more (no hardcore po*n that I know of, but c'mon--he's a 15 year old guy with internet access so you tell me. I'm not THAT stupid)
Well both of us were totally turned off by this KWK episode. My son wanted to turn it off because it was just creepy and disgusting. He used to like John Abraham and thought him a pretty down to earth guy but when John told Karan...
"I like your pout." He suggested they get a room somewhere.
What we want to know is what time does this show air in India? Is it in a prime time family viewing slot?
If so, what the heck was Karan's problem with all the endlessly repeating the word "butt" until it just became annoying more than anything else?
What's with all the flirting and innuendo? I get it....oh how I get it....that many men, indeed the biggest star of them all put out for Johar and got plum roles and great fame because of it, but is THAT what was going on with John?
Was he angling for a plum role in a Dharma production via the best path to cinematic success with the Johar camp?
This whole thing was just sleezy and it's too damned bad that these imbecilic men had to display their crusty chuddies not only to one another but to an audience as well.
If you wanted to watch this to learn something about John Abraham the only thing I can imagine one learning is that he's a kind of self absorbed, sleezy wannabe who will trade sex for roles, just wants to sleep around, and has absolutely nothing of artistic merit to offer.
What we learned about Karan is that he doesn't even have the judgement to respect his own show. All the good that these two tried to do in speaking in favor of acceptance and respect for gay people was undone by the fact that the two people who said it appeared to have no respect for either themselves, or their audience.
Yuck!
