MUMBAI: She pioneered natural acting in mainstream films…
She played her own rules and went on to become the most respected
actor in Indian cinema. She's a successful wife, mother, politician
and the first lady of the Indian film fraternity. Karan's first
guest this week is none other than Jaya Bachchan. His second guest
is one of the most beautiful women in the country and in the world.
She was a reigning woman in the movies and continues to dominate
our hearts. She is the most gorgeous and stunning Member of Parliament-
Hema Malini. Also joining them are their daughters, Shweta Nanda
and Esha Deol. Watch the lovely ladies chat about their relationships,
films and politics only on Koffee with Karan this Sunday, April
15th at 9 p.m. on Star One and Star World.
From reliving old memories to clearing misunderstandings…
from discussing arguments in parliament to talking about tiffs with
their daughters, Jaya Bachchan and Hema Malini have a great time
on the show! Jaya talks about being a support system to her husband
and now… to her son. For the first time ever, watch her talk
about her daughter-in-law-to-be and how thrilled she is that Aishwarya
is going to be a part of the family very soon. Hema and Jaya reminisce
times spent on the sets of Sholay and how they strongly feel that
the film should not be re-made! They also jokingly complain to Karan
how Bollywood doesn't offer challenging roles to older actresses,
and how he should change that! Their daughters join them on the
show and add to the fun by discussing their relationship with their
mothers, marriage and their careers!
 And
just when the Q&A wraps up, the fun doubles with the fiery rapid
fire round! Would Hemaji like to play Mausi in Ram Gopal Verma's
Sholay? Which actress needs a change of PR agency according to her?
Who needs a wardrobe makeover according to Hemaji and Esha? Would
Esha be allowed to participate in Big Brother? What does Abhishek
Bachchan have that his dad doesn't, according to Jayaji and Shweta?
What would be the perfect star-cast of Abhimaan out of the current
lot of actors? One piece of marriage advice Jayaji would give Ash
and Abhishek? Does she prefer her husband playing Jai or Gabbar?
Who wins the most desired possession on the show - the coffee hamper!
Karan makes it tougher this time to qualify for the hamper, with
the mother-daughter compatibility test! Do the mothers and daughters
really know each other well enough? Who takes the hamper home? Find
out on this Sunday's episode of Koffee with Karan.
Excerpts from the interview:
Karan: So both of you'll besides being members of parliament have
one big thing in common and that is "Sholay" and that's
something, which is so topical that it's wonderful to talk about
at any point of time actually! Anything you remember? What was your
experience on the sets of Sholay?
Jaya: You know we used to drop in and say hello! There was nothing
like, "Oh my God! What's she doing?" or anything like
that! You know it was very different
Karan: What's also strange is the husband-wife combinations were
the main leads and they went on to become.. It's quite something
actually…
Jaya: I should have played Basanti!
Karan: You should have played Basanti?
Jaya: Because I loved Dharmendra (Laughs) You know when I saw him
for the first time and I was introduced to him.. there was a sofa
like this… I went and hid behind it
Karan: Why?
Jaya: I was so nervous! I didn't know what to do. There was this
fantastic looking man. I still remember what he was wearing- white
trousers and a white shirt and he looked like a Greek God!
Karan: That everyone says… Hemaji said the same thing when
she first laid eyes on him!
Jaya: Poor you! You are stuck because of that! (Laughs)
Hema: Yeah! I am stuck because of that! (Laughs) I saw him at a
premiere and I was just shocked!
Karan: He had that impact on women!
Hema: Of course he has!
Karan: And he still does!
Hema: Yes! He has still…
Karan: How sweet!
Karan: Shweta, do you think that the men take prominence in the
house?
Shweta: Yes! They're attention seekers!
Jaya: The biggest baby takes the most attention.
Karan: Which is your son?
Jaya: No!
Karan: Oh! Your husband!
Jaya and Shweta: Yes!
Karan: Do you think he's the biggest baby?
Jaya and Shweta: Yes!
Jaya: Completely!
Karan: You never miss the glamour and the glitter?
Shweta: Actually it's very easy for me because I get all the perks
but none of the responsibilities.
Karan: Really?
Shweta: Yeah! I can live the most semi-normal life unlike all of
them and then I enjoy the fun things like coming on your show!(Laughs)
Karan: Esha, are you close to mom? Do you tell her about your relationships,
about boyfriends? Are you'll like buddies?
Esha: Yeah Yeah! Completely!
Jaya: Liar!
Esha: What liar?(Laughs)
Karan: So you know everything that's happening?
Hema: Both the girls.. whatever's happening.. they tell me!
Karan: Do you get shocked sometimes when they come and tell you
details?
Esha: We don't get into that many details!
Hema: I told them from the beginning… whatever's happening,
come and tell me! I don't want to hear it from out you know!
Karan: And read in the magazines! Sometimes do you hide articles?
Like sometimes people write all kinds of rubbish…
Esha: No! But right now, no ones writing any kind of rubbish about
me also.. it's so boring!
Karan: They're not even writing any rubbish!
So, don't forget to tune in as Karan catches up with Jaya Bachchan,
Hema Malini, Shweta Nanda and Esha Deol on Koffee with Karan this
Sunday, April 15th on Star One and Star World, at 9 p.m.
