When Bhansali flipped for Mallika

The new season of Koffee with Karan kicked off with director Karan Johar calling his old friends for a grand episode 1, and the Krrish couple for episode 2.

But things are finally reaching boiling point on episode 3, where Black director Sanjay Leela Bhansali joins outspoken bombshell Mallika Sherawat on the show.

Here's a glimpse into the show:

Karan: So you are finally on the show. Everyone used to ask me when are you getting Mallika Sherawat on the show?

Mallika: I've provided enough entertainment for Koffee with Karan. I've been made fun of, been ridiculed!

Karan: No! No! That's not what used to happen!

Mallika: Of course! That was it! You think I don't know!

(Karan Laughs)

Mallika: No harm! I'm sitting here and as Robert De Niro said, "You didn't knock me down! I'm still standing!"

Karan: You were always the option when we asked the men, who was the sexiest woman they thought.. The answer was always you! You think you were a safe option for them?

Mallika: I think I am a woman who dared!

Karan: Oh really?

Mallika: Yes! Probably that's why I'm their answer. But I take it as a compliment, as a big compliment.

Karan: Sanjay, what do you have to say about that?

Sanjay: I think she is what she is. She doesn't pretend herself as someone else. She speaks her mind out and to her I want to say Kuch to log kahenge, logo ka kaam hai kehna (people will say things, that's their job). You just do what you are doing; be what you are and keep working!

Mallika: Very encouraging Sanjay! Thank you so much! You know I must say something. Everyone told me that Sanjay Leela Bhansali is this intense Guru Dutt kind of director. Don't joke with him too much, be very serious. And Karan Johar is extremely sensitive: don't offend him. Keep your mouth shut!

Karan: You can offend us! We won't mind too much!
