She is slowly and steadily making a place for herself in the Indian movies. From niche cinema to commercial multiplex cinema, Karan's first guest is the girl that every intelligent cine goer absolutely adores, . His second guest is the sexiest new entry in the Hindi movies. He stood out in the fantastic ensemble of Rang De Basanti and is now here to stay... the very hot and happening Kunal Kapoor! Also, joining them is the funniest guy in the business, his straight-faced comic timing has made him the darling of multiplex cinema and the masses… the fantastic actor and the very humble Ritesh Deshmukh.
From discussing their careers, regrets, to their love life, the trio has an absolute blast on the show! Konkona shares why she will never do a matka jhatka movie, how she was intimidated by the hugely successful star cast of Omkara and in fact is all praise for Kareena! Kunal talks about his take on the sex symbol tag, the special relationship he shares with his childhood friend Hrithik Roshan and life after Rang De Basanti! On the other hand, Ritesh admits on the show that his father was quite surprised to see him in Apna Sapna Money Money, but as always got full support from his illustrious political family! He shares that he no longer gets affected by the rumors linking him with his first co-star Genelia and even being questioned about his sexuality!
And just when the set of controversial Q&A wraps up and the three attractive actors are about to lean back with a sigh of relief, Karan announces the rapid fire round! One mainstream actor Konkona would love to date? Aamir or Hrithik, whom does Kunal choose? One actress Ritesh would like to get naughty with? Who wins the most desired possession on the show - the coffee hamper!
Excerpts from the interview
Karan: Does it bother you that you are not in the consideration for all the matka jhatka movies?
Konkona: No, it actually takes a lot of pressure off me, because if I was perceived like that, then I would have to live up to that, which I won't be able to.
Karan: You don't think, we chatted about this last time, but I thought things would have changed... you are doing mainstream films now.
Konkona: I am doing, but even in those mainstream films there are no matkas and jhatkas.
Karan: But you know to be in those big mainstream films, like a mainstream love story with a big hero with songs and dance, do you never want to do films like those?
Konkona: No, you know I am doing this film, where Kunal and I are going to do a song
Karan: Like an item song?
Konkona: Not an item song, we won't be doing matkas on table hopefully, but we will be doing a song and I have lip synced also for Pradeep Sarkar's film.
Karan: So did you think that people were going to perceive you as this new pin-up boy, this new sex symbol?
Kunal: Honestly that disturbs me a lot.
Karan: So you actually don't like this tag you have
Kunal: No... No I love it. I am joking, I am just like this regular intelligent, good-looking, sensitive type of a man.
Karan: I am totally getting that...
Karan: You have been very close to Hrithik Roshan, you have grown with Duggu… you have known him for how many years now?
Kunal: About 17-18 years
Karan: So you'll are childhood friends?
Kunal: Yeah.
Karan: Tough act to follow?
Kunal: It's just very annoying because I call him up every day, I tell him how much I hate him because every time you feel you are doing something good and he sets the standard a little higher and then you have to make double the effort ... so I call him every day and tell him how much I hate him. I love him as a person, but I hate him professionally and I make sure I tell him that.
Karan: Your father when he saw you in Apna Sapna Money Money... what was his reaction?
Ritesh: He was like... is that you? What's wrong with you?
Karan: But tell me when you were on the set, was there any man who hit on you?
Ritesh: Yeah.
Karan: There was... who?
Ritesh: Anupam Kher, Chunky Pandey asked me what are you doing after the shoot? Will you join me for coffee?
Karan: So, Chunky Pandey and Anupam Kher actually hit on you?
Ritesh: As in they asked me for coffee.
Karan: You have no woman in your life?
Ritesh: As of no… No.
Karan: So, Genelia is dating whom?
Ritesh: I have no idea.
Karan: You know there was this cover which said you were having a gay relationship... do you get irritated when people question you about your sexuality?
Ritesh: I think you know if you are not linked with a girl then they will link you with a guy.
Karan: Did that bother you? Did you get back to that journalist?
Ritesh: No, I feel bad for them, they don't have anything so they will make up stories. You don't have to do anything about it… not get bothered... let it just die its own death.
