The Brilliant and The Beautiful

You are watching Koffee with Karan; In conversation with the brilliant and the beautiful, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Aishwarya Rai.

That’s what Karan Johar said while taking a small break during today’s episode of his famous talk show – Koffee with Karan. After the break he put forward a volley of questions to 1994 Miss World (Ash must be in 30s now) and the most famous commercial director of today – SLB.

SLB was dressed in a Black kurta and jeans while Miss World had chosen a white formal outfit. The contrast in colors also marked the contrast in their personalities. Ash was her usual diplomatic self trying to make her presence felt, while SLB appeared to be calm and contented personality.

Ash justified her refusal to play lead in SLB’s Bajirao Mastani on the grounds of her sour relationship with Salman, while SLB justified that he could’nt see anyone else but Salman playing the role of Bajirao ! The project now lies shelved, because Kareena Kapoor, who was supposed to play Mastani, did not agree to SLB's clause that Bajirao Mastani should be the first film in which the Salman-Kareena pair would appear together. So the whole debate was actually pointless ! Time for a break !

Post-break, in the rapid fire round, Ash again blatantly displayed her dislike towards Salman by not answering questions related to him. However it was SLB who finally bagged the coveted Koffee hamper, due to his candid confessions. The best one was where he bluntly said (in front of Ash) that Vivek Oberoi is the most over-rated actor in Bollywood today.

Wonder whether the episode should be taken seriously, given the fact that today is April Fool's day !
