It was nine years ago that he had first appeared on the couch, spilling more than just coffee beans with his famous friends from B'town. With the latest edition of Koffee With Karan, there's a lot more to watch out for, assures the multi-faceted showman, Karan Johar. "I've judged other shows like India's Got Talent and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa but KWK will always be closest to my heart," he says.
Stylish, funny and witty, Karan knows exactly what makes him the endearing host on and off the screen. "Yes, my one-liners do crack up people. I am sure they like me for what I am instead of who I am," says KJo who admits to playing the peacemaker among friends. He apparently played a key role in bringing together Kapoor cousins Kareena and Ranbir along with their respective families. Similarly, after the Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Son Of Sardaar fiasco, when Aditya Chopra and Kajol weren't on great terms, KJo stepped up to play the mediator. "I try to play the peacemaker because I don't like to see my people fight. It becomes too stressful for me to see a cold war between my friends. So I have on multiple occasions, stepped up and made my friends see reason," he says.
Karan had once claimed that he'd only direct a film if SRK played the lead in it. But after Student Of The Year, can one assume that he's gone back on his words? "Technically not. SRK might not have acted in the film, but he still co-produced it. But if you ask me, I'd really like to direct SRK and Kajol together once again. I am working on a script towards that."
He admits that he may also have been a bit choosy while picking his team. "What's wrong with that. Everyone has a certain level of comfort with a few people and so do I. It helps me work in tandem with them," he adds.
I really don't want Kajol opposite SRK cuz this time around I want her to prove to the haters that she doesn't need him but she is taking so long that i'll even settle her opposite a donkey. SIGN SOMETHING ALREADY KAJOL.😡
