MUMBAI:
Jaya Bachchan calls her Basanti… Bobby Deol calls her
Pritam Singh... Find out what her love interest, Ness Wadia calls
her… on Koffee with Karan this Sunday as Karan's first guest
is none other than the super rocking super star … Preity Zinta!
Karan's second guest comes from a terrific lineage… He truly
is the brother and the son of the soil and is one of the most loved
and the most affable members of the film fraternity. Watch the very
suave and the very stylish… Bobby Deol. Watch them jhoom
barabar jhoom only on Koffee with Karan, on 10 June at 9 p.m.
on Star One and Star World.
 Tune
in as this dynamic duo talk about their forthcoming projects and
the fact that they are super excited about the release of Jhoom
Barabar Jhoom. Since Preity completes nine years in the film
industry this year, she shares some funny moments from her early
days while working with Bobby in her first film, Soldier.
She also talks about her boyfriend Ness Wadia and tells Karan that
she is sick of the media constantly scrutinizing her personal life.
She admits that she's mellowed down and matured since the last time
she was on the show and that she is on good terms with her peers,
Rani and Kareena! She tells Karan that she hates being 'controversy's
favorite child' talking about being dragged into the news, when
Shekhar Kapur's wife went on record saying some very controversial
things about her. Bobby shares the origin of the name "Pritam
Singh" by which he fondly addresses Preity! They talk about
the warm bond they share with each other and their unique style
of talking to each other - they constantly fight and argue!
The
Koffee gets even hotter, with the duo shooting back witty answers
to Karan's tricky questions in the rapid fire round. What would
Preity do if Ness asked her to give up acting? If she was a PR consultant,
what advice would she give to Himesh Reshammiya? Which Bollywood
actor's tell-all book would she love to read and which Bollywood
actress's body does she envy? If Bobby would be locked up with Rakhi
Sawant and Mallika Sherawat, what would he do? Which Punjab ka puttar
does he get along best with? Does he prefer critical acclaim or
commercial success? Watch out, who takes the hamper home in this
very exciting rapid fire round. Will it be Bobby or Preity?
Excerpts
from the interview:
How's
life been?
Preity-Life's been good! I just wrapped up a movie "Jhoom
Barabar Jhoom" and now its ready for release!
Yes
it's releasing soon and everyone's saying it's looking fabulous
and in fact the promo's are on air and everyone's loving them.
Preity-Well I've had a great time shooting for it… it's
been a great experience… first time working with Abhishek…
you never cast me with him!
Well
you guys were the deprived parties in KANK and those two were just
having an affair behind your backs. You silly people!
Preity-No, no, no… jokes aside… working with AB
for the first time and working with Bobby after 8-9 years…
Lara I was working with for the first time so it's been great. Shaad
also… I worked with Shaad in Dil Se when he was an assistant
and I started off my career and now working with him… so it's
been great!
When
you look back at Soldier do you think it was just the other day
or you feel, lots of time has flown?
Preity-Actually I didn't feel these 9 years, to be honest.
It's been the best time of my life. The industry has given me everything
and you know people always say, this industry is sleazy, there is
a casting couch, people are like this. I think people treat you
the way you want to be treated by them. I have never encountered
any problem with anybody who's being cheap or sleazy because I have
never portrayed myself like that.
Because
you have met very classy and elegant people.
Preity-Like Karan Johar? Like KJ?
Yeah so there has been no problem on that end. I'm more of the couch
myself rather than being the casting couch.
Yeh
Pritam Singh ka origin bata dena mujhe.
Preity- Bobby, please don't destroy me. Please I beg you!
Bobby-Well, she's like a guy… eh… like a buddy!
You
two have been friends for a while and you've kept in touch even
when you'll didn't work together?
Preity- Yes! Bobby and me have known each other before I
became an actor
Bobby- She would be with us. We would all go out in my dads
van every night out and she would be sitting right at the back quiet
to her self. And one day she came up to me and said Ok! I'm doing
criminal psychology. Can I make you my subject? And I said to her,
look Preity… I would love to but I'm from this family and if
I talk about myself and if you say this is my subject Bobby Deol,
I can't do it!
You
wanted to make Bobby your subject?
Preity-But you know in the beginning I didn't know Bobby
as Dharmendra's son.
Who
did you think he was?
Preity-I swear. When I first met him he was one of the guys
in the group and I had to look for someone between 23-28 ka age
group, I was finding and I needed 5 subjects and actually I didn't
realize!
So,
don't forget to tune in as Karan chats with Preity Zinta and Bobby
Deol on Koffee with Karan this 10 June, at 9 p.m. on Star One and
Star World
