Spilling the beans in "Koffee with Karan"
It's no wonder that movie-stars, journalists, directors, activists open up to Karan over a cup of coffee and spill the beans like they never have.
Moreover, Koffee with Karan has double the excitement. Not one, but two or more celebrity guests are presented in each show. They could be contemporaries, great friends, arch rivals, the best or the worst on-screen pairs... and Karan chats them up with equal zest.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. The show is telecast every Friday at 10 p.m. On March 18, the guests on the show were actors Konkona Sen Sharma and Rahul Bose. Konkona, daughter of eminent actor and film director, Aparna Sen, has achieved a reputation as a reliable artiste in sensible movies. Her claim to nation-wide fame is the award winning film, Mr and Mrs Iyer, written and directed by her mother Aparna Sen. Konkona's popularity has reached a magnitude after the recent success of Page 3, in which Konkona plays the role of journalist who uncovers the dirty behind-the-scene lifestyle of the rich and famous.
Rahul Bose is another consistent name in the arena of sensible Indian movies. He was in movies like Split Wide Open, Jhankar Beats, Chameli and Mr And Mrs Iyer, the last one with Konkona.
Konkona seemed pretty modest and her attitude was straightforward. When asked, what she thinks of comedy movie director David Dhawan's movies, her blunt answer was, "Honestly, I've never seen any of his movies." "I wish, I could say I'm a looker. But I'm not, so I don't think I'd look good dancing in a chiffon saree on the hilltops in Swtizerland." - was her answer to Karan, when he asked whether she would do a song-and-dance number in Hindi movies.
Rahul had undeniable presence and came up with well-thought of answers. When asked if he thought that the movie Black would change the face of Indian cinema, his answer was "Change doesn't happen overnight. A certain Black doesn't happen everyday and it received public accolade because names such as Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukerjee are attached to the movie." Rahul also said that he would definitely do a mainstream Hindi movie, if he feels convinced that he can relate to the character.
