Shahid, Kareena & Karisma on Koffee with Karan this Sunday, on Star One and Star World
MUMBAI: The caffeine on this show is addictive. Honest, candid, witty and stylish… you must have experienced all of this on ‘Koffee with Karan’ last week, this Sunday meet the frank, forthright and fabulous actress Kareena Kapoor and Bollywood’s favourite chocolate boy hero who makes her world go round… Shahid Kapur. Also, joining the sweet couple is the glamorous and gorgeous actress, Karisma Kapoor. Catch the Kapoors’ chat about their relationships, rumors and their career with Karan Johar, this Sunday, March 4th at 9 p.m. only on Star One and Star World.
Kareena, who was possibly the most irreverent guest on the show in the last season, promises to be even better this time round. From clarifying her problems with Shah Rukh, the Chopras and the Bachchans, she confesses on the show that she is the one who chased Shahid for two months! Kareena also admits that she is a hyper-hysterical girl friend and says, “Shahid is a very good looking guy and his smile can charm a lot of women… so I do get a little nervous.” Shahid talks about the initial insecurities in their relationship, the positive influence they have had on each from Kareena becoming a vegetarian to Shahid becoming more chilled out and relaxed. That’s not all, Karan also tests the couple’s compatibility quotient by quizzing them individually on how much they know about each other. Do they score a 10 on 10? Wait and watch!
But the real show stealer is the rapid fire round where Karan bombards a volley of questions to Shahid & Kareena. Who is the better dancer – Hrithik or Shahid, whom does Kareena chose? Shah Rukh, Hrithik or Aamir, the superstar Kareena loves? The one woman Shahid would cheat on Kareena for? Kareena in Chameli or Kareena in Omkara – which one was a better performance according to Shahid? If this was not enough, Karisma Kapoor is called on to decide the winner of the rapid fire round? Whom does Karisma choose, her brutally honest kid sister Bebo or Shahid? Lot of revelations… Lot of tongue-in-cheek moments… definitely a must watch!
Excerpts from the interview:
Karan: Who are really your friends Bebo?
Kareena: laughs … Oh god!!
Karan: Because the whole story goes that Kareena only befriends people who are not a threat to her …
Kareena: Oh my god! What is this .. Ahh ….. I don’t think so .. But the only actress I think I am closest to is Amrita Arora … She is my only genuine best friend whose an actress..

Karan: Is she the hyper hysterical girlfriend .. Is she the where you are, what you are doing kind of girl friend …
Shahid: She has calmed a lot in the last three years .. but I think every woman has these insecurities .. and I think it takes the two people to understand and deal with each others’ areas of ups and downs .. but I think .. yes I am sure she has .. and so do I have these phases of insecurities which we all do .. I think she has come to trust me a lot ..it takes time for things to settle down ..
Karan: You take up for Shahid a lot .. is that true?
Karisma: Yes I do ..
Karan: In what way .. what does he do .. that he needs taking up for?
Karisma: Well, I mean generally … when they are fighting with each other. I am always caught in the middle of it .. and if I really feel that Shahid is right then I really fire Bebo …

MUMBAI: India’s most famous hot seat is about to welcome an unlikely first-timer. For the first time on Hindi general entertainment television, industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla will appear on Kaun Banega Crorepati, the iconic quiz show hosted by Amitabh Bachchan.
The special episode marks a rare meeting point of boardroom heft and prime-time television, bringing one of India’s most influential business leaders face to face with the country’s most enduring screen legend. It is a crossover that blends intellect, leadership and popular culture, all under KBC’s familiar spotlight.
Birla’s appearance dovetails neatly with the show’s current theme, Jahaan Akal Hai, Wahan Akad Hai, which celebrates the confidence that comes from clarity of thought and knowledge. His presence lends weight to the idea that sharp thinking and conviction are as vital in life as they are in the quiz chair.
In a thoughtful conversation with Bachchan, Birla shared an upbeat view of India’s economic journey, pointing to the nation’s rapid growth and the scale of opportunity opening up across industries and communities. He spoke of momentum, ambition and a future shaped by enterprise and ideas.
The episode is not all serious talk. In lighter moments, Birla confessed his long-standing admiration for Bachchan, calling him his favourite actor and admitting to a touch of nervousness at answering questions in front of the Shahenshah himself. The candour adds a human touch to a man more often seen in headlines than on television sets.
The special episode airs on Monday, 29 December at 9.00 pm on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.
