Rani is like my younger sister: Kajol

Slick, stylish, candid and witty, the show has it all, and with the industry's best on-screen trio, the banter just can't get any better. Superstars Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji come together on screen after 10 years (after Karan Johar's directorial debut Kuch Kuch Hota Hai) and still manage to recreate the same magic on Koffee with Karan's second season. Excerpts from the yet-to-be-aired show:

Karan: Shah Rukh, you have no problems with anybody?

Shah Rukh: I don't have time to have any problems with anybody.

Karan: Then why do people constantly attack you and always say that you have a problem with Amitabh Bachchan and Yash Chopra? Why does that keep happening to you? Why are they doing this to you?

Shah Rukh: I have no idea. I think it's not new. It has been going on for years. I keep telling everyone that I have a problem when there is a new, young, able-bodied actor on screen. I am like "Oh, now Shah Rukh is finished." And now it's the older, established, wonderful actors also. So I'm sandwiched from both sides. I think this is what we call a mid-life crisis.

Karan: You can't be going through a mid-life crisis. You're too young to go through it.

Shah Rukh: The younger guys are there, so I'm no good. The older gentlemen are there so I'm not as experienced or maybe it's the way I speak, maybe I'm just too damn good-looking.

Kajol: I think it's because you are too good-looking.

(Shah Rukh gives high fives to Kajol and Rani).

Karan: You think this only happens because you are important?

Shah Rukh: Hemaji told me many years ago that people only talk about those individuals who they feel are important and I'd like to believe that.

Karan: And about Mr Bachchan, who is such a veteran.

Shah Rukh: I've worked with them. His family is nice to me, kind to me and I'm kind to them. We get along very well. But I have to keep on justifying this and it's a little embarrassing at times. But now it's been going on for sometime. Before this, it was Hrithik and I have no problems with him.

Now it has been a long time and I've become used to it. I think if I wake up in the morning and I don't have a problem with anyone, I'll feel unloved.

Karan: So do you feel you have to be in a controversy?

Shah Rukh: I'll tell you honestly, a few years back when I used to get up in the morning, I used to quickly check the papers so that my kids don't see it, just in case I'm fighting with someone. They'll think, "What kind of father do we have?"

Karan: Other heroes go through relationship issues with their heroines and you are just constantly fighting with men, not women. You are only linked with men, not women. Why is that?

Shah Rukh: I truly am the last action hero.

Karan: You are cousins, but is there a wide gap between you two in real life?

Rani: No.

Kajol: Not really.

Karan: So you are literally meeting after 10 years on a sofa?

Rani: On a sofa?

Kajol: It was chairs earlier.

Karan: Alright, but there is always this kind of media speculation that you don't get along with each other and though you are part of the same family, there is no interaction. Is it true?

Kajol: There is nothing like that. Basically, it's more like she's Tanisha's age. So for me, it's another generation really. Rani is like my younger sister.

Rani: And I was always closer to Tanisha than Kajol.

Karan: If Shah Rukh, Kajol and you were on a plane which was about to crash and there were only two parachutes on board which you had control over, what'd you do?

Kajol: Dude, I'm family.

Rani: I would probably stay behind and give the two parachutes to them because people want to see them together.

Kajol: Please stop.

Shah Rukh: Tum dono mujhse chipak jaana... teeno neeche aa jayenge. Kya hai problem yaar. Main hoon na
