Hello, this is Koffee with Karan.
I am Karan Johar.
Now, I want to inform you that,
my mid-life crisis is officially over. Done.
I turned 50 recently, and now there is no crisis.
It's just a full-blown calamity.
You like to believe you are ageing like fine wine.
When the truth is, that you're ageing with fine lines.
You know how people these days say,
"that didn't age well" That 'that' is me.
I do not wish to age well. I do not wish to age at all.
I am going down kicking and screaming,
hanging on to every last dreg of my youth.
Even millennials aren't necessarily cool enough for me now.
I heard Varun Dhawan, my protege, complaining,
that I no longer want to hang with him.
Sorry VD, you missed the memo.
And the age cut off is Gen Z or nothing for me.
Okay, not nothing.
I haven't given up on all my old friendships.
There are a few. A solid few.
I can't imagine life without them. We've had so much history,
a lifetime of memories, over decades.
My first guest on Koffee with Karan tonight,
is a forever friend.
We will never pass off as millennials,
but I like to think we're perennials.
Inspite of being in the public eye for decades now,
she is an enigma to the world. But to me, she is my family.
Please welcome then, Gauri Khan
for only the second time in 18 years of Koffee with Karan.
Do arrive.
-Welcome back to the show. -Lovely, Karan.
-What a beautiful set! -I know.
Well...it can't afford having you do the interiors.
-One day. -Otherwise...
Maybe next season Gauri, -One day.
I will entice you into doing my set.
Hundred per cent. Would love to.
Welcome back to Koffee with Karan, Gauri.
You're coming in after 17 years.
Oh my God!
The last time you were here,
it was with Suzanne, Hrithik, you and Shah Rukh.
And so much has happened.
Three children, two children.
Life has really been,
so many ups and downs, you know.
We've both lost our fathers in the last 17 years.
But yet, so beautifully compensated by our children, and our families.
More than anything else, Gauri,
I've always felt that in these last 17 years,
you've really-really come into your own.
I think today when I look at you, I feel proud.
And I feel proud like as a member of your family,
because I feel like,
you've built an entire brand entirely on your own.
You're no longer just Shah Rukh Khan's wife,
who is a celebrity You have a brand called GKD,
which is a phenomenal success.
And I've to tell everyone that it's hilarious,
because once I was having dinner with Shah Rukh and Gauri,
and...we heard that their family chartered accountant,
who said that the only profitable member,
through the pandemic in the 'Mannat' household
was Gauri Khan. who actually showed some profits.
Because Shah Rukh wasn't doing any movies,
of course, the kids are not earning.
So, how does it make you feel,
that you built this little empire of your own.
Well, the chartered accountant has obviously exaggerated this.
But I take it as a compliment.
And...well, I just think,
I do things...just with pure love and passion.
And there is no goal, or there is no ambition...
I am not like really ambitious like you.
Or like how Shah Rukh is.
I am just happy with what I do.
I feel satisfied.
And I feel my life is complete,
-when I am at work. -Yeah.
So, that feeling,
you know, when you do what you love.
-You enjoy what you do. -Correct.
And then it finally takes you to a place,
where you're tapped on your shoulder,
and, you know, your husband says, "well done".
-It's a nice feeling. -Yeah.
It's a great feeling. And for me, it's just that.
Or if my mom,
or, you know, anybody from my family says,
it's enough for me.
You know, if my kids say that--
That validation comes from your family.
-And from you Karan. -Yes.
You're my number one. You're my number one.
That I know, but how difficult is it Gauri,
for you to shrug off that tag,
that you're Shah Rukh Khan's wife.
And do you think, when you walk into a meeting with a client,
that they carry the baggage of that?
-So... -Yes, absolutely.
So, when, you know...
You know, there will be times,
when I will be taken on as a designer
-because of whom I am. -Right.
Because they will get that mileage, and they will get that, you know.
They feel that it's is a status symbol for them.
Yes.
But, let me tell you, it's not always the case.
There are times, you know that you're
not going to get a particular project,
because they don't want this baggage.
So, it works against you at times.
Yes.
I would say it is 50 per cent,
I don't get a particular project.
They think that Shah Rukh Khan's wife will be a diva.
She will come with 'baggage of her own'.
And you know I wouldn't blame them.
-Yeah. -I wouldn't.
Maybe even I would think twice,
you know, if I was in the client's shoe.
I would think twice, you know.
That do I really, you know, want somebody,
who comes with this baggage.
Has 100 tantrums, or-- You know.
But tell me something, has it...
I mean it's been like... I can't even describe it in words,
being married to Shah Rukh.
He's like the biggest star in the world.
We all know that.
Like, the love and adulation he has, is beyond...
You know, his movies, it's just been him. His aura, his persona.
But when he comes back home,
he comes back to a regular household,
where you're screaming about some issue.
About some... Either some food that's not arrived,
or the food isn't ready.
-Or Aryan is doing this-- -If something is broken,
and that's missing, and that's missing.
And this is missing
And I've seen that it's a regular household.
Has it been difficult being Mrs. Shah Rukh Khan?
I have to admit that he's the easiest person,
I've ever met.
Like you give him anything to eat.
-Yeah. -There's...
Even if it has no salt, or it has salt,
-everything is good. -He'll eat everything.
Anything you put in front of him, he's just very easy.
So, I just find him very comfortable,
with handling stuff, being at home, with the kids,
with the family. With my family coming over.
He's just born a person,
who's comfortable with people around him. Put him in any situation.
Yeah.
He just knows how to deal with it, and be comfortable.
And not throw his weight around.
Yeah.
So that's one thing I really love about him.
And his... His warmth.
-His hospitality. -Yes.
Do you know... And I want to tell everybody this,
there's not a party at Shah Rukh's house,
where he hasn't walked out the guest,
when they are leaving to their car.
And sometimes I feel he's outside the party,
and not inside. That's also a problem.
I am like are we having this party on the road,
or is it inside the house?
Let's keep another tent there.
Because when he goes and drops people off,
he's talking also for half an hour.
-Yeah, exactly. -So, I mean...
So, people are wondering where he is.
So, you're absolutely right. Like he's never in his own party,
-he's only dropping people off. -Yeah, so...
-That's his...old world manners. -That's a negative, I feel.
It's a negative.
Because people are wondering where is he?
Where is the host? He's outside.
-So...yeah. -What I've also seen is,
that you're also bone honest with him.
-Yes. -Like I've been...
I will not mention the movie.
But I've been at a screening,
where we were watching a film of Shah Rukh's,
that was not very good.
And halfway through the film, you've tapped me,
and said "you are liking this movie?"
So, I said... I was smiling
because Shah Rukh was sitting right next to me.
And he's right there,
and you're like "how can you like this movie?"
So, I said, “we'll talk at the interval, Gauri.”
The other time when we we're seeing rushes on his laptop,
you were like "you can't release this movie."
And like, then I realised that, that's been your strength.
You're not his fan at home.
Like you're certainly not adding to his fandom.
You're actually showing him the mirror when it's required.
Yes, like I said, you know, you have to be real.
And if he's showing me, he wants my opinion,
it has to be what I feel,
and what, you know, the truth.
And nothing but the truth.
-Yeah. -And also, when I speak to him,
I won't be harsh,
and I won't be... you know, demeaning.
And I will not ever use those words, which will hurt him.
-Yeah. -I put it across in a way--
But you'll still be honest.
I'll still be honest.
I can be like...I can talk with you on the side.
Of course, we've had many conversations.
We talk a lot of crap.
But obviously, I put it,
I think in a more polite manner.
You know, I know how to talk to him,
but I do put my point across.
But do you know the nation, and the world at large,
is waiting for a Shah Rukh Khan film?
People are all waiting,
-like with bated breath, literally. -Of course.
We're all waiting.
And especially since it's been such a tough ride for him,
not just professionally.
But recently with everything the family went through personally.
and you'll have emerged so strongly.
As a family.
I know it hasn't been easy.
I know you as a mother, and him as a father.
And all of us, like we're members of the same family.
I feel like I'm your children's...
Like Godparent as well.
It hasn't been easy.
But Gauri, I've just seen you come out even stronger.
What do you have to say about your
own way of handling tough times,
when families go through something like this?
Yes, as a family we have been through,
I think nothing can be worse than,
what we've just been through, obviously, as a mother, as a parent.
But today where we stand...
Where we all stand as a family,
I can say that we are in a great space...
-Yes. -Where we feel loved by everyone.
And the nation's prayers were with you.
And all our friends,
and so many people who we didn't know.
You know.
So many messages and so much of love,
and I just feel blessed.
-Yeah. -I think today we feel blessed.
And I would say I'm grateful,
to all the people who have helped us through this.
Well, more power to you, Gauri.
And when we talk about friends,
we talk about how all of us
have literally grown up in this business together.
And two of your friends,
actually, are with us today.
Both of them and their daughters,
and your daughter have grown up together.
And I've seen them like little toddlers.
Like little... For me, it's not just actually emotional,
but also, nostalgic.
Both of them are... Like what do I say?
I call them 'Tiger Moms' who are now reality show stars.
And have been your biggest strength,
and my closest friends.
And as I said, everyone together, and their daughters have been one
-'Hum Saath Saath Hain' family. -Yes.
-Absolutely. -Please welcome the gorgeous
Maheep Kapoor and Bhavana Pandey,
in the Koffee house for the very first time.
Welcome.
The debutants of Koffee with Karan.
So excited to be here.
I know, so excited to have you both.
-Please have a seat. -What's up Gauri?
-Gauri. -Hello.
Who is not going to stand up to wish us
I just met you backstage.
-You're not supposed to say that. -She is not going to stand up.
She's now prim and proper in position.
In position and I've just met you.
-Backstage. -Well, well, well.
How does it feel to be on Koffee with Karan?
Bhavana, Maheep, I ask this question to both of you.
I am very excited, but also nervous.
No, don't be nervous. You'll are reality show stars,
you've faced the camera
-multiple amount of times. -All the time.
Maheep, how are you feeling.
You must be so excited,
I've done you such a big favour by inviting you, on this show.
I have done you a favour by coming here.
-Be quiet. -Because Maheep told me,
I've called her on this show,
because now she's a big star,
and she's getting recognised everywhere.
But it's true.
Gauri, I was taking lots of selfies in London,
-Yeah... -You've no idea.
By the way, we were walking,
and I nearly got shoved by somebody.
Because they said "Maheep, can I have a selfie?"
I said Maheep all the best.
Thanks for exaggerating.
-That's why I love you, Gauri. -Are you'll...
Is this kind of stardom?
Because before that you'd never had any,
strong, individual personality.
-Of course... -The celebrity status of your own,
apart from being, you know...
-What do you mean? -I don't want to say it.
But, as you know.
But now this newfound stardom, is it exciting?
I think it's a lot of fun.
Earlier you know what used to happen,
if I was with Chunky and Ananya,
they used to say "here hold the camera,
can you take the picture?"
At least that's not happening anymore.
I was handed over the phone--
You're a part of the picture.
Yes, very much.
And Maheep.
-I think I always was a star. -Because you are in a family--
I just got discovered by Karan, who launched me.
Oh, they were taking pictures with you before also.
-Yeah. -Ohh...
I've been the star of the family.
No, you were... Actually, a family full of stars,
-that's why. -Yes.
For you not to be one,
must have made you feel a bit left out.
Not really...
Like I said I always felt like the star.
But anyway, we're talking about the ongoing friendship actually.
Ongoing, as I said. It's not ongoing.
It's been a friendship for nearly three decades.
Yeah.
How did you'll stick through so much,
and still be friends three decades later?
Now that's tough. That shows some kind of spine and strength.
-Yeah. -Gauri,
you've been friends with them for nearly 30 years.
I know, I've known you for nearly 30 years.
And they were in your life before I met you.
Yes, but I've given them two punches also. One here, one here.
And had many fights.
-Yeah, we've had lots of fights. -To be honest.
-Let's not paint this rosy picture. -Yeah...
You know what I mean.
We've had our ups and downs.
Eventually, the fact that you can come back,
from that.
And I know that you've had
your individual issues with both of them,
but eventually to come stronger,
and be back and still be together,
today, that speaks a lot about the friendship.
We've had loads of fights,
but that's what it is.
Yeah...that's what life is all about.
We've had bumps on the road
We've had loads of amazing times too.
-Yes. -And you know,
we've all been there for each other,
-in our tough times as well. -Yeah.
So, I think that is what has made us last.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
I mean fights are like...important.
Catfights.
-Not really. -Not really catfights.
But tell me Bhavana and Maheep, when I ask you this,
many years ago, when I was just entering the business,
I used to hang around a lot with Shah Rukh and Gauri.
Because I got really close to Shah Rukh,
on the sets of 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge'.
And then I got introduced to Gauri through that.
And then Gauri became obsessed with me.
And then...we became like this...
I became like the plus 1 with them everywhere.
So, a lot of people used to say in the industry,
that I've got my first film because,
I'm like this hanger-on of Shah Rukh and Gauri.
It was true because I was hanging around them all the time,
and I didn't care.
I was very excited to be around them because,
he was not only a megastar,
but also, a great human being and a personality.
And Gauri was this amazing and fun.
And that's how I met all of you.
But, to the very many people who may have said,
that, you know, are you...
That's you'll are around Gauri for Gauri.
It sometimes can be very demeaning,
and can make you feel very small about yourselves.
Especially because you know,
she is Shah Rukh Khan's wife, and then you'll are friends.
But, very few people understand,
that there is a genuine friendship here.
It's not that you'll are here because of who she is.
So have you felt that at times,
when people have said it to you?
All the time. All the time.
There were many times when it was like...
"Ohh, she's friends with Gauri Khan,
because she's Gauri Khan."
And you know, "She's probably getting noticed,
because she's friends with Gauri Khan".
But you know, like you said three decades. 100 fights, 100 issues,
100 hard times, good times, bad times.
-You can't fake this. -Yeah.
You know, we've been friends for...
Before I got married.
They both attended my wedding.
Before Aryan was born.
We've gone through milestones in life.
You know, you can't fake these things.
And...you had said once.
"People are gonna talk."
-Yeah. -You know what I mean.
So, they are going to keep talking,
and honestly, now they are just noise in the background.
Bhavana, how did you handle that?
I think I would pretty much agree with Maheep,
because it is...
Of course, people say things like that and stuff.
But I remember they were already a group,
when I got married.
And my sister-in-law Deanne was very friendly with them.
And I was a little wary actually, in the beginning,
-because-- -Of Gauri?
Not Gauri, just the whole group.
Because it can be a little intimidating,
and especially if you've not lived in Bombay.
I was... I was living in Delhi,
and I had just moved to Bombay.
And I think I was quite young also,
at that time.
But then, when I--
I remember Gauri invited me for one of her teas.
'The teas.'
-They are very famous. -Those famous teas.
And I thought that was really warm
and welcoming of her, to be honest.
Because I didn't really know everyone.
I'd met Maheep in Delhi at my engagement.
And I found Maheep very warm, on a one-on-one.
And...Gauri I didn't know at all.
When she invited me home,
and then when I went for that tea.
It was wonderful.
Gauri, I've to ask you.
You know, success and failure,
are so thrown at our faces in this industry.
Yeah.
Your own personal careers also...
is news to everybody.
So, when I ask you Gauri, that, you know, there was a point,
when Sanjay's films weren't working.
Or Chunky had stopped being, you know, a lead actor.
Those are tough times for them as families,
and I'd like to ask you'll about that.
For you, did you ever feel that you had to,
sometimes kind of be a little more empathetic.
A little more, you know, emotional about the fact,
that your husband was such a raging success.
And they were going through these situations
of failures in their homes.
Did you feel you had to compensate for who you were?
I would say no.
Seriously, no.
Because, you know,
for me success is immaterial.
Right.
Of course, we all love it
and we all enjoy it.
And we've all
been a part of Shah Rukh's success,
and we're thankful to God.
-Yeah. -I would say that.
But, when it comes to everyday life,
day-to-day life and I wake up in the morning.
I am really not thinking so much about
you know, success and failure,
and what's around me.
And what my friends are going through,
because I am not giving it that importance.
-Correct. -I just value people
for their presence, when they are with me.
-For who they are. -Correct.
And I enjoy the moment with them.
Just over a cup of tea or drink.
I am not going back to their homes,
and I am not trying to understand their pain,
or their...
If they are not talking to me about it.
You know.
If obviously, a friend comes to me, and she wants to share.
-Then obviously, then of course. -Of course.
But to every time think of success and failure,
at any level with a friend...
I don't think I am that person, you know.
Bhavana, how did you deal with it?
Because you came from the outside, then you married a movie star.
And then he went through a dip,
and of course, he emerged back again into a space.
You know, there was digital television,
shows, events, so much happened.
Did you feel like... There was a like a patch,
where you went through
that kind of down energy in the house,
where you know that a movie star goes through a low.
You know, for me,
I think getting married to Chunky, was a big deal itself.
-Yeah. -You know, because
I was getting married to a movie star,
who was known by the whole world. Correct.
So, that itself was a big deal for me.
First.
You know, then comes other things.
Then comes friendships,
and then their husbands being
more successful or not successful,
-is secondary. -Yeah.
For me, it was a very big deal to be married to Chunky.
And that's great that you're honestly saying it.
I am saying it honestly.
And the thing is that he has been such an amazing person,
at home, specially.
He's never let his...
I mean success honestly, by the time I got married to him,
he had kind of moved away from being the lead actor.
So, I didn't really see that superstardom.
But of course, I knew him as a very popular actor.
And a very loved actor.
And what I saw at home is that he had lots of friends.
I mean he had great relationships in the industry.
Yeah, that's something that is always heartening.
He was always invited everywhere.
Whenever we had parties or anything at home,
-everyone was there. -Yeah.
So, I didn't really feel that you know.
I mean there are some times...
I mean, of course, like any human being,
you can go through that thing,
when you're hanging with a lot of superstars or stars.
-Yeah. -I wish...
You know, it happened to him also.
-His movie was also a huge success. -You had that desire.
But it was never like the main thing in my life.
And as Gauri said,
even being with Gauri, first of all,
you know, we've enjoyed all of Shah Rukh's successes with her.
-Yeah. -We were there at all the parties.
The children have been a part of it.
The husbands have been a part of it.
Yeah-yeah, it's been like...
We've all grown up together.
-Maheep-- -So, I think it was very minimal,
whatever it was.
Yeah, I get it and I've seen it.
Maheep, of course, you're from a family of mega movie stars.
Yeah.
From all your husband's brothers,
their daughters,
your nieces and nephews.
And everyone's a star.
And I've known Sanjay to be the most amazingly positive person,
-that's one thing I have to say. -Yeah.
Is that through all his downs, he's never...
His sense of humour has remained intact.
You know, it's Kaifi Azmi's lines,
which applies so beautifully to Sanjay.
“how is it so that you are smiling so much,
what is the sorrow that have are hiding.”
And that's always what I believe of Sanjay.
Is like I feel like he's hiding it all.
But you as a spouse and his wife,
you've seen that part. You've seen the downtimes.
And how have you dealt with it?
You know, it's very difficult to explain to people,
because people just throw these opinions...
You know, you're privileged. You're...
There have been tough times.
There have been years when Sanjay was sitting at home.
Yeah.
Years where money was tight.
Money was an issue,
because my kids have grown up seeing that
-Yeah. -also.
Apart from the glamour and glitz and whatever,
they have seen their father go through that also.
-Yeah. -But credit to him, like you said,
never made us feel it.
Even for a split second,
you know, always happy and success also is relative.
Everything is not about the box office.
Everything or everyone cannot be a Shah Rukh Khan.
-Yeah. -You know, I had my home,
I had my...
My kids were going to the school that I wanted them to.
We were going on holidays.
So, that was success for me.
-Yeah. -So...I never felt it per se,
but yeah, people around me made me feel,
that yes, you know we are the “unsuccessful ones,”
whatever that means.
-Yeah. -And--
-That can be hurtful. -Yeah. It is.
It is hurtful. So, you know...
My daughter and my son have seen that.
So, they have seen that side of the industry too.
I mean now it's amazing that the three...
I mean, especially it was started of course with Ananya,
who got launched in 'Student of the Year 2',
and then Zoya signed Suhana for this
amazing-amazing franchise of 'Archies'.
Then Shanaya signed with Dharma as well,
and I am like these are kids I've seen grow up.
So, first thing, congratulations.
How is everyone gonna deal with the 'nepo' backlash?
That's the first.
-Haven't we already dealt with it? -Especially, like...
I am like how are you'll going to deal--
Because I've dealt with it for the last five years.
So, Gauri, I ask you.
Have you prepared Suhana,
or are you just gonna go with the flow?
No, she knows what she's in for.
And I just say one thing to her, that, you know,
don't sit on my head.
Like...leave me alone.
Yeah, handle your own problems.
No...
So no, seriously I do tell them,
that you know, please for heaven's sake,
be happy, that's all we want.
Like whatever field you choose,
whether you're in front of the camera,
or you're behind the camera.
Whatever you do, have a smile on your face.
Yeah...be happy with what you're doing.
Be satisfied.
All very well to say, Gauri, not easy.
They are not easy, but I've to say these words.
For, that I drill it in their heads,
and their minds.
-Because-- -So that, you know, they...
I mean we can say this
we're brewing this conversation
right now, as we speak,
but let me tell you,
I have literally
held their hands as children,
and today when I'm seeing them in
photo shoots and looking glamorous.
I'm like "how will I accept this?"
because I'm thinking that Roohi will grow up someday,
what about me then?
Because I'll be staring at Roohi also posing like this
and I might die.
But all three of them have something to say,
-and I'm glad they do. -Oh, God.
Can we have a look?
-Yes. -They have something to say.
Yes.
Two of them have something to say visually.
One of them, Suhana Khan,
is under contract.
So, she has to say something only audio-wise.
I feel like there isn't one word I could use,
to describe my mum. But I feel like...
Every time I think of her,
I think of her just being the most confident
person I know.
And she just doesn't do,
what she doesn't want to do.
And she's not rude about it or anything.
But she's just so like...
comfortable with herself.
And I think I just look up to that the most.
There's a nickname for her in our team,
we call her BBB, which is 'Big Boss Bhavs'.
Because all the information goes to my mom,
about how my hair is looking, if my lipstick shade is fine,
if my clothes are fine.
If this jacket is fine.
Which shoes I should wear with what.
She is omnipresent and everyone's very terrified
of her on the team. Like "will Bhavs approve?"
"Bhavs wants a pop of colour and stuff."
-Oh, God. -So, she is definitely
-my 'momager' -That's too good.
Momager?
I would say that my mom is not a regular mom,
she's a cool mom.
I think dad should shut his ears,
but whenever I have to go out,
stay out till late, or I've to do,
you know, something that's little wrong,
she is always like "it's fine, I'll hide from dad."
"I'll do it, you go have fun."
So, she's extremely cool and
she always allows me for everything,
so, I love you, mom.
She's also kind of a 'momager'
Like, not kind of. She will...
Like she wants to see everything
before everybody else can see it.
So sometimes I am like "let me just post one picture,
without showing you first."
But then I always send it to her.
Because I am like okay, I don't want it...
Because I know she is always right.
I think in public she tries to act very-very cool
and collected, like chill, and "I don't care, it's fine."
"Do whatever you want."
But as soon as we're home,
she is hectically warding off the evil eye.
Or she is making me do some kind of,
you know, ritual or something she's making me do.
She just doesn't care about who is around,
and, you know, what she has to do to fit in.
She just doesn't do any of that.
We'll be like walking on the streets of London or New York and,
someone will ask about directions and she will pretend like
she can't speak in English.
She doesn't want to talk to people.
So, she will just walk off.
She will be like, "sorry, No English."
She just walked off.
Oh God, who snoops around their respective daughters,
they are not even a 10, I think, they are a 100.
Listen my mom is number 1 on that list.
But I also like telling my mom everything,
So, she doesn't need to snoop that much.
Then I would say Maheep aunty and then Gauri aunty.
Gauri aunty is really not interested,
we try to tell her, she is like, I don't care.
My mum is the least strict, she doesn't have it in.
She is lazy to be strict firstly,
so, she doesn't even have it in her to be strict.
She'll be like okay, whatever.
They know everything and they are always exchanging information.
It's like this detective house and they know everything.
Shanaya said this and Ananya. But Ananya told me this.
Ananya and Suhana told me that they are going with Shanaya,
but Shanaya is not in the car.
So, it's like they know everything,
and it's very difficult to hide anything from them.
My mum has this really bad habit of revealing secrets by accident.
So, unless you tell her about 500 times,
that this is the most confidential piece of information,
she will accidentally spill it.
So, we all have to tell her like a million times.
This one time I was on the phone with her.
And I was telling her, "Ma, you can't tell anybody, like promise me,
you're not going to say anything to anyone."
Then Abram was at the back and he was just like,
"No, she is going to tell,
She tells all my secrets to all her friends."
And I am like he is 9. And he has picked up on it.
So yeah, that's a really annoying thing that she does.
And I feel like I have got this habit as well from her.
But I am not bad as her.
The biggest secret about them is that
they have maintained their hot body,
and it is only because of their liquid diet.
They have been religiously following it for years.
And the liquid diet is nothing but, wine.
Excuse me.
I am not sure, who started doing this
but I'm 100% sure it was my mum.
Because she loves comfortable clothes,
and just being comfy all the time.
So, she would take the British Airways and Jet Airways pajamas,
and just like wear them at home.
Just store them, a million of them at home,
and wear them every night to bed.
And the three of them would do that as well, like that was their thing.
And I am pretty sure Bhavana aunty still does this,
because I have seen her,
wandering around in her Jet airways Pajamas,
at home which are like 5000 years old.
And Ananya also does this.
-Sometimes, sometimes Mumma. -Oh God.
You are a bit too free and funky.
So sometimes you can tone it down a little bit.
But otherwise,
she is way cooler than me so
actually, I don't say too much to her.
-I can't. -We love you.
We secretly hope that we grow up to be like each of you.
Little bits of all of you.
And growing up I never felt like I just had one mom,
I felt like I had 3 mums and I am so happy,
that I was raised by 3 strong women, and we love you.
And I am so happy that you'll are on the show.
I feel very lucky that they are in my lives,
I feel like I have 2 extra mums, that I can talk to,
about anything and trust with everything.
So, I love you guys.
And I hope you guys enjoy doing the show.
I don't have just one mom, I have three.
And it's the most special bond that we all have.
It is very special, how also the information travels.
Sometimes if Gauri aunty has to say something to me,
it is going via Suhana, like tell Shanaya this...
Like Bhavana aunty has to say something to Suhana.
Ananya, you should tell Suhana this.
So, it is always travelling,
but we get the advice somehow or the other.
And it's very special and, I love you guys a lot.
-Aww. So cute. I love it. -Oh my God.
-Listen, this is like... -They are hilarious.
I want to know the Suhana's story
of the British Airways is true.
But it's Jet Airways. But it's true.
No but one minute, recently. I have to tell you.
We just flew back together from somewhere,
and Gauri walked at the airport.
I have to say it, because Suhana said it.
And I said, "oh Gauri nice look!"
Like airport look I thought.
And on the flight, she took off the jacket, it was her nightie.
Which she had belted.
-Are you serious? -I was on the flight. Hello.
Gauri was hilarious.
Oh, that was another one, She has done it again.
There was Aryan, and there was
Ananya, we were going to New York.
-That was another time. -Gauri has come with a nightie.
Over the nightie she has worn a jacket.
Then she has belted the nightie.
You have to make it a really cool dress.
She has suddenly landed, on to that United Airlines.
Taken the belt and the jacket off and it was nightie.
She did the same thing again, last week.
It was so comfortable, I am not in fashion like you are, Karan.
-Everyone cannot deal with fashion. -I am one of those.
One should not be, it's my midlife crises.
But listen, the kids are coming in movies.
It's all very exciting.
I know, you'll will give them the most balanced advice,
but eventually.
They have to be left on their own, it's their own journey.
But this camaraderie is hilarious.
I mean like the three of them.
And I really hope they can keep their friendship together.
I think they will.
-They will manage, I'm sure. -There will be bumps on the road.
They will also have their ups and downs, like we have had.
Like any friendship has.
But I am sure they will be together.
-100%. -Yeah
So now we have something fun.
-Okay. -We have our Rapid-Fire round.
Which is coming up and I hope you are ready.
It is the fun part of the show.
And the one who wins, gets this hamper.
And I am not the decider of who wins.
Then who decides?
Can we meet the audience please, the koffee gang.
Oh, are you serious? Hi.
-Thank you, guys for being here. -Thank you.
Please be ready with your devices.
Okay, I start with you Bhavana.
Start with her like this.
Just rip the band aid off.
I am starting like this, in this order.
-Okay. -Okay come on.
Bhavana, are you ready? Brace yourself.
This is Koffee with Karan, Rapid-Fire round.
Can we please turn on the
Jaquar lights for the Rapid-Fire round.
Okay Bhavana Pandey,
the one thing that you and Ananya
don't see eye to eye on.
When Ananya leaves the house
without brushing her hair, and you'd agree.
Yes.
Once she was at the airport with such ragamuffin hair,
I told her where is your comb?
You know what she does? She just brushes the front,
and forgets about the hair at the back.
That's such a un-heroine thing to do.
One dating advice you gave Ananya and Rysa.
Have fun, do not get serious at this age.
Or pregnant.
Pregnant, No way! That is like...
-Oh my God. -Isn't that obvious.
-I would die. -Are you kidding?
A celebrity Chunky can get a free pass for.
You know what, Chunky I think had
too many free passes in his life.
And all his life.
He doesn't deserve any pass anymore.
No? Not even one?
No, he was called the revolving door.
-You've forgotten? -Revolving door?
Means the girl used to enter from one door,
and the other one used to leave from the other side.
-He was called the revolving door? -Yes.
That's what I heard when I got married.
-Oh wow. -Yeah.
-So, no free pass. -So, once you entered you just
stopped that door from revolving.
Totally. It was revolving then it became a stuck door.
We never really know, will we? If the door is still revolving.
You know, what you don't know is fine.
-You don't care. -Ignorance is bliss.
A celebrity you think, you should get a pass for.
With many, because I have not had any.
So, give me one name.
There is ....
What about Aditya Roy Kapur?
-What? -No. Are you crazy?
You also told me, you find him hot Bhavana.
Okay. I am not saying anything, Karan.
One actor who you think,
should have kept the bachelor's status for a longer time.
I think Ranveer Singh.
Siddhant Chaturvedi, Tiger Shroff, Ishaan or Kartik Aaryan.
An actor who you thinks looks best with Ananya.
I think she looks the best with Kartik Aaryan.
She acts the best with Ishaan,
she dances the best with Tiger Shroff...
No, no, hello, one minute.
You said who looks best, I don't want
your politically correct answers.
and sings the best with Siddhant Chaturvedi.
Listen, that's a rubbish answer. Give me one answer.
Okay she looks the best with Kartik.
Kartik Aaryan, alright.
The what happened, why did they breakup?
I thought you are talking on screen.
But if they look so good together, they should have kept it together.
You never know. Never say never.
Okay, as you say.
If Vijay Deverakonda asked you out
for a drink, how would you react?
Oh my god, I think he is so hot. Honestly.
-Before that you are not saying. -Who?
-Vijay Deverakonda. -You can get a free pass.
-Vijay Deverakonda. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can go, pick one of the roses that he has shown.
No, I can't say that, I think Ananya will have a mini...
One minute. He just put up an image where he just has a bouquet there.
I think he is very good looking.
Would you like to pick all those roses.
I think they will fall. Finally fall on their own.
Alright, okay.
A celebrity who you think can't dance to save their life.
Maheep.
-Yeah, she is a very bad dancer. -You be quiet.
What are your dancing?
Maheep, I've called you a celebrity.
Oh yeah, I have forgot about that.
-Listen hello, -Thanks
-Excuse me! -Oh, okay it's fine.
What is your guilty pleasure?
-Wine. -besides stalking Ananya.
Oh yeah.
Wine, pizza and tiramisu, while stalking Ananya.
Okay
What is the last thing that you
found, exorbitant or overpriced.
I think having and raising children.
Yeah, too expensive.
Alright okay, Gauri.
A Bollywood trend you never liked.
Can I think or not?
-No, it's rapid. -Oh sorry.
I think when celebrities, they call the paps,
and then they pretend that they are shocked.
"Oh, how do these paps come here?"
Yeah, that shock look.
Who out of the Aryan, Suhana and Abram is the following?
The one with the strongest personality
Abram.
Okay, the one who is too mature for their age.
Suhana.
The one who is your fashion police.
Aryan.
-Of all the people. -Really?
-He is really... -Really
I think Aryan wouldn't even be looking.
I am not allowed to wear full sleeve shirts.
He hates shirts.
I can wear t-shirts,
I am not allowed to wear like many things.
-Really? -Yeah.
He doesn't like jackets on me.
I must say Aryan is a...
Can you imagine what he must think of me.
Why don't you have a chat with him.
I think I should. He must have a lot to say.
Okay, the harshest critique Shah Rukh
has ever received from you.
Well, I am... I tell him whenever his films are out.
I always tell him. Good bad ugly.
-He just knows it. -He just knows.
-You tell him. -Yes absolutely.
The one advice you gave Suhana about dating.
Never date two boys at the same time.
-Oh my God. -Never.
Two boys at the same time.
That's good advice.
I think Ananya has done that already.
-Has she? -Yeah
I think she was oscillating in between.
No, she was thinking of two so she broke up with one.
Eventually.
Gauri, good advice.
Okay, one advice you gave Aryan about dating.
Date as many girls as you want,
till you decide to get married.
And then full stop.
-Okay. -Yes, then full stop.
-That's what I... -Good mummy advice.
One quality of Shah Rukh's you want your kids to have.
Well, I am glad they don't have a few of his qualities,
which are not a quality like...
They are on time, they are punctual.
And they are not spending 100 hours in the bathroom.
So, I am glad they don't have these.
Shah Rukh spends hours...
I really sometimes I want to put a camera in the bathroom.
He is watching TV
-I don't know what he does. -He is reading
-I think it's his down time -So, I'm glad they are
punctual and unlike him.
-Like that, okay good. -That's good.
One quality of yours you want your kids to have.
Multi-tasking.
What does Gauri Khan do when she is in a bad mood?
Spend time with Abram.
When she wants to gossip.
Call Maheep.
When she wants attention from Shah Rukh Khan.
I want to feel he is always
at attention when I am talking to him.
-I feel. -Oh, he is.
Whether he is or not I don't know.
Okay
Apart from your family members.
Who is that one person who gives you great advice?
You.
-I was hoping for that answer. -That's true.
I call him for everything.
Actually, everyone does.
Everyone calls you for everything.
How do you advice everyone?
Everybody.
Hospitality desk.
Including me.
But you're good, yeah.
As an entrepreneur Gauri, what is your mantra at work?
Love what you do, and do what you love.
If your love story with Shah Rukh
Khan had to be given a film title,
what would it be?
I think Dilwale.
I love it, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
I love that film.
Yours was quite a turbulent love story.
Yes, it was.
It was quite turbulent, there was lot of
-conflict and drama. -Very similar.
-So, I love that film. -But he did win over your family.
Yeah.
A misconception everyone has about Gauri Khan.
That I'm a snob.
Thank you, Gauri you did exceptionally well.
Maheep are you ready.
Make it scandalous and saucy or you know what will happen.
Edit.
Edit, snip, snip.
A celebrity Kapoor apart from Sanjay and Shanaya,
you get along with the most.
There are many.
I said one.
No, I have to choose 2-3.
-Can I answer. -Arjun, Sonam, Khushi.
You can't make all members of the family happy.
Khushi is like my, you know like my child.
I am a mother.
-So just say Khushi. -Khushi.
A marriage advice you would like to give Deepika and Ranveer.
Who am I to give them advice.
But obviously, good sex, good sex, good sex,
and don't share the wardrobe.
Ranbir and Alia.
Good sex, good sex, good sex,
and baby duties should be equal.
Ah, well said.
Vicky Katrina.
Good sex, good sex, good sex,
and I mean now, Vicky has got Katrina just like...
It's all good in the hood I guess.
Okay
One quality of yours you want your kids to have.
Take it on the chin, with a smile, move on.
It's not bad as it seems. We'll get over it.
A quality of yours you don't want your kids to have.
My hyper nature.
Okay.
Sara Ali Khan, Ananya Panday, Janhvi Kapoor, Kriti Sanon,
Disha Patani, the "It" girl of the season.
Don't say Ananya.
How can I not say?
-or Janhvi. -Ananya or Janhvi.
Nepo. Nepo. Nepo.
It is, I'm nepo. I am a nepo mum.
It's both of them.
A celebrity Sanjay can get a free pass for.
It has to be someone really hot.
So...
Katrina. She may not want to. But I give the pass.
A celebrity you think you can get a free pass for.
Like Bhavana, can I have a list?
No, I want one name.
Poor thing, he wouldn't want to but I am saying...
-Ranveer Singh or Hrithik. -Ranveer Singh and Hrithik.
Why Ranveer Singh might be interested, you should ask him.
Yeah, call him.
Anyway, whatever this is Rapid-Fire now, please.
If you were offered a film which
actor, would you like to team up with?
I think I would look great with Hrithik Roshan.
-Really? -Yes.
How guts you have to say that.
How do you imagine the following celebrities,
would make up to their partners, after a fight.
Shah Rukh with Gauri.
Shah Rukh is so charming.
And Gauri forgets in 10 minutes flat.
-So, it is easy-peasy. -Chunky with Bhavana.
He'd be like, I am joking.
-Bhavana would be frustrated. -From what I hear, it's makeup sex.
Oh yes and it is makeup sex.
They have sex everywhere they travel,
in every continent, every country.
It is the truth.
It is a rule with Bhavana and Chunky.
Arjun Kapoor and Malla.
I imagine Malla wearing something hot, and just dancing.
That's what you think she'll do to make up?
Yeah, and Arjun would be like.
Malla would wear something hot and will start dancing.
Yeah, yeah.
That's a very strange...
Arjun will be like forget it.
If you were cast in the, Sex and the City,
which role would you pick for yourself.
And who would play the rest 3 of the main characters.
Oh God.
We've had this discussion.
Me obviously Samantha.
The horny one.
The sassy cool sexy one.
-I'd like to think. -And you dare.
Charlotte...
because Neelam. Neelam with Charlotte
That's prim and proper prissy princess.
That's Neelam.
Bhavana, you are... what's her name.
-Miranda. -Miranda.
-The lesbian. -The lesbian.
No, not because of that, I was saying,
that's happened in this season.
But I want to say that it was
because she was just so uptight.
I am not.
-You are very uptight. -No, I am not.
-and lawyer... -I have given you that character....
No, and Seema is the fashionista.
Which actor of this generation do
you think is a potential superstar?
Ranveer Singh.
And your last question,
you have to pick one of these
options, what will it be?
Eternal youth but no sex.
What do you mean?
I said one of these.
Eternal youth or no sex.
-What would you pick. -Oh.
No sex, are you crazy.
Okay eternal youth.
Are you mad? Eternal youth, without a doubt.
Who cares.
Raging orgasms but no love.
Raging orgasms.
Yeah, naturally. That's so obvious.
Endless romance but no money.
No, I want the money.
Who fucking cares about the romance.
Okay. Alright. That's it with the Rapid-Fire round.
Well done to Bhavana, Gauri and Maheep.
Clap, clap for you all.
And soon the jury will have reached a verdict.
Okay, okay, okay.
Oh shit.
Gauri Khan at 48%.
Maheep with 23.
Bhavana with 29. Maheep has got the lowest.
I'm the third! What is this fucking audience!
-I told you. -Rubbish.
Maheep is saying, what is this fucking audience.
Nonsense.
I'm sitting on the fence here also.
In the middle.
-Gauri congratulations. -Shall I get up.
Thank you.
How good were my answers.. keep quiet.
Gauri has had the hamper before. Bad.
Alright, but there is chance for redemption.
It's time for MyGlamm Slam.
So, ladies are you ready to bring out the Glam and the Slam?
-Yes. -Alright.
Those are shots. I'm going to ask you questions.
Whoever it is applicable to, you have to point.
The person who gets pointed at drinks the shot.
These are hot shots for hot moms.
Because these are little chilli.
Back to being an oldie.
Oldie.
The one who is most worried about what others will think.
-Okay drink. -Guilty as charged.
-I'll admit. -Okay.
Bhavana 1. And let me tell you the one who
drinks the maximum shots gets the present.
-Is the winner. -Yeah, I don't mind.
Really, but we have to be honest.
Ask the correct questions.
The one with the sexiest moves on the dance floor.
-Drink. -Okay.
You can't even look at us with dance.
Are you mad?
-Yeah -Alright, okay.
The one who needs to document everything on social media.
Maybe... it's actually, the person...
It's you.
-More is you, then her. -Okay the most is me.
-I am not at all. -That's true.
You are the worst.
I think I am second.
Okay, this is fun.
One who has the running commentary
on what others have
posted on the Gram.
-Why don't you just give it to me. -100%.
She is even sharing.
-Alright. -I do.
The one who is most likely to try out the latest beauty fad.
-Fad. -Yeah, beauty fad.
-Gauri is not pointing also. -Yeah.
Because atleast she knows, we don't even know.
Fuck I can't keep drinking all these shots.
The one who curses in front of her children.
Why does everyone even have to point.
Just give it to her.
The one who is mostly like to look for deals or bargains.
-Yeah, she is good with it. -Gauri.
But its good.
-It's good. -It's good right?
The one who is most obsessed with selfies.
Again her.
More than us.
Why do you ask... take a selfie.
Why don't I drink this whole tray.
The one who is the
wild child of the group.
I can't even turn. By the time I put this down.
Alright give me the present.
No, there are calls to be made.
Each call is 3 points.
-Oh, who do we call. -Maybe I'll score here.
-Call and what do we say? -You have to call a celebrity,
who has to say, Hey Karan, it's me.
And tell us what they are doing.
It could be any celebrity in the movie industry.
Okay.
So, I am dialing.
Arjun is fucking on another call.
-So, he is allowed to talk to.... -Is Shah Rukh there?
If Shah Rukh Khan picks up 6 points.
Sanjay never picks up my call.
It's ridiculous.
Neither my husband nor my daughter.
You all know no celebrities besides your family members?
Malla. One second, can you say, Hi Karan, it's me.
Hi Karan, it's me.
Malla as in Malaika. Thank you, Malla.
You gave Bhavana 3 points.
-Chunky. -Thanks Karan.
Can you say, Hi, Karan.
-Why have you called Chunky. -Who cares.
-Malla, thank you. Love you. Bye. -Say, Hi Karan, Chunky.
Hi Karan.
-Hi, Chunky. -Thanks, Chunky, Bye.
Hello. Okay.
What the hell, Chunky didn't pick up my phone.
But he was calling me back.
What about he was calling me back when I was talking to Malaika.
Too bad.
-Shah Rukh. -He has to say on speaker,
Hey Karan, It's me.
Hi Karan, how are you?
Very happy to speak to you. You just earned your wife 6 points.
6 points?
6 points. She got 6 points.
On the show.
Thank you bhai, love you.
Gauri, you'll earn points if you're with me.
He is saying, being with him will make me win points.
Okay
Shah Rukh Khan, sorry I had said was 6 points.
Now he is calling me back. Chunky.
-Now, it's over. -Now, it's too late.
-Hello Chunky. -Say it's too late.
You made it to Koffee with Karan.
Bye.
You said, Hello it's me, just now to Maheep, on Koffee with Karan.
So, Siddhant Chaturvedi better realize, make notes.
I thought Maheep was calling with some emergency.
Oh God. Okay bye.
He thought Maheep is calling and it's an emergency.
Maheep, you win this round. Congratulations.
This is not a piece of art, it's a present.
Oh, I love it Karan.
-Do I have to... -Yeah, that would be nice,
I love it.
Alright, thank you Maheep. That was some redemption.
Now we have 2 winners on that couch.
And a runner up.
I am happy.
Alright. Girls, on a lighter note
It has been amazing. This has been such a fun show.
I just think that every time we sit together and chat.
That reminds us how precious each one is to each other.
The fact that we have a legacy of love.
You know, once upon a time you said,
and one day there will be none.
-And I have been proven wrong. -You said that.
I had given a cake, which I had put on the bench.
Because we would sit at Gauri's bench outside.
And there were little chairs.
I said, one day all the chairs will be falling off.
But I have to say that all the chairs have remained.
Yes.
And the strong table of love, has been served.
So consistently and constantly that,
bravo to all of you and all the love to all your children.
And before I let you go.
I have a final question to ask all of you is that.
What makes your fashion
a cut above the rest.
I am not into fashion.
I like to dress appropriate.
I feel,
If you are going to somebody's house
or to somebody's party
and if you are not well dressed.
You're insulting the host.
That's what my mum has taught me.
And I always make a note of that.
Make an effort when you go to somebody's house.
-Correct. -That's fashion for me.
That's fashion. What is fashion for you?
I think for me.
Why is your fashion a cut above the rest?
I don't think I am fashionable either.
I think I am just at that stage
in my life where I want to be comfortable.
Comfort is your fashion mantra.
And yours is...
Inappropriate dressing.
I agree with Bhavana and Gauri.
So, you're comfortable in this.
You know, you made me wear this.
Well, that's because....
I was wearing something fab and yellow.
You were looking like a box of mayonnaise,
-in that I want to tell you. -It was mustard.
We were aiming for ketchup and mustard.
You both would have walked in looking like ketchup and mustard.
I'm glad you got out of this, wearing this
-very sexy ensemble. -sultry.
Anyway, thank you girls. Thank you for being here.
I love you all from the bottom of my heart.
And the bottom of my Koffee cup.
Which you can sign please. It's right next to you.
Thank you and can you take your Koffee mugs
and we go and place them in our Koffee wall of fame.
I'm just chucking this.
Chunky I think has had
too many free passes in his life,
and all his life,
he doesn't deserve any pass anymore.
No, not even one?
Oh, he was called the revolving door.
You've forgotten.
Revolving door?
Girl used to enter from one door
and the other one used to leave from the other side.
He was called the revolving door?
Yes, that's what I heard when I got married.
