Kalank: Karan Johar gets emotional as he shares first glimpse of the film

<p>Taapsee Pannu will get a nod from Kangana Ranaut as she sort-of took a dig at Karan Johar after she was not invited by the filmmaker on his famous talk show ‘Koffee With Karan’ recently concluded season.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With this season of the talk show wrapping up, Karan announced the Jury award. Comedian Vir Das who was one of the jury members quipped: "There's so much pink in this set that Taapsee Pannu tried to act in it."</p>

<p>Taapsee reacted to this joke and took a subtle dig at the star filmmaker on her Twitter account and wrote: “Hahahahha nice one. Just that Taapsee still doesn’t qualify to be there. I am looking forward to seeing this episode. All you guys are hilarious.”’</p>

<p>This is something similar to what Kangana had raised when she was indeed invited to the show. She pointed out that the filmmaker launched star kids, without actually giving any importance to whether they have the talent or not.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Interestingly, star kid Ananya Panday also made it to the couch and said that she agreed with all those who thought that she didn’t deserve to be on the show as she hasn’t done anything.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt may have never openly spoken about their relationship while they were together but the actor seems okay to talk about his ex on national television now. While appearing on 'Koffee With Karan' along with fellow actor Aditya Roy Kapur, Sidharth opened up for the first time about his break up with Alia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sidharth said that while they had not met post break up, they have remained civil with each other and there has been no bitterness between them. "We haven`t met after it. Our relationship is civil. I don`t think it`s bitter. It`s been a while. I have known her for much longer even before we dated. I gave my first ever shot with her in SOTY, I was crazy, and there is so much history."</p>

<p>Taking the discussion further, Karan Johar asked Sidharth if it has been difficult for him to remove the emotional dynamic when it comes to Alia Bhatt and go ahead professionally. To which the ‘Baar Baar Dekho’ actor said, “There is a reason why two people decide not to be together. There were lots of ups and downs. When you take yourself from a situation, you look at all the happy and good memories."</p>

<p>Sidharth and Alia made their Bollywood debut with ‘Student of the Year,’ which was directed by Johar. They shared the same screen space for the second time in ‘Kapoor &amp; Sons’.</p>

<p>Reportedly, they started dating in 2016, but decided to end the relationship later.</p>

<p>Alia is currently in a relationship with actor Ranbir Kapoor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Actress Neha Dhupia has hit back at a publication who recently posted a piece with a headline that took a dig at her post-pregnancy weight gain.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actress on Saturday took to Twitter to issue a strong statement against the fat-shaming.&nbsp;</p>

But I do want to address this as a larger problem because fatshaming needs to stop for EVERYONE and not just celebs. As a new mom, I want to be fit, healthy and energetic for my daughter. So I work out everyday, sometimes twice a day because for me…’Fitness’ is a priority and not ‘fitting into’ society’s standards regarding looks. And I hope in the future people are kinder to each other while making such vapid and vile comments. To quote @Pattonoswalt…Be kind. It’s chaos out there."</p>

News brief: Big stories of the day

<p>In what many will call Karan Johar’s late realisation, the filmmaker has now apologised for the controversial ‘Koffee With Karan’ episode starring cricketers Hardik Pandya and K L Rahul. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Karan admitted that the conversation “may have crossed boundaries” as he spoke of feeling “responsible”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He told ET Now in an interview, "I'm not justifying the conversation that happened on the episode. I'm saying that perhaps things were said that may have crossed boundaries and I apologise because it was my platform where it happened."</p>

<p><em><a href="http://www.wionews.com/opinions/karan-johar-is-as-much-to-blame-for-hardik-pandya-kl-rahul-controversy-192011">Also read:&nbsp;Karan Johar is as much to blame for Hardik Pandya-KL Rahul controversy</a></em></p>

<p>Karan added that the boys have "paid the price" for what happened on the episode. "I haven't spoken about it really... I feel very responsible because it was my show and my platform. I invited them as guests and so the ramifications and repercussions of the show are my responsibility. I have had so many sleepless nights, just wondering about how I can undo this damage. Who is going to listen to me? It has now gone into a zone that is beyond my control," he said. <a href="http://www.wionews.com/sports/hardik-pandya-kl-rahul-tender-unconditional-apology-for-sexist-remarks-bcci-members-demand-sgm-190235">Read the cricketers' apology here.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>Karan then called himself a feminist who has been brought up by strong women and said that he has often asked similar questions to his female guests on the show. He said, "I don't defend myself when I say this, the questions I asked the two boys are the questions I ask everyone, including women. When Deepika (Padukone) and Alia (Bhatt) were on the show, I asked them those questions. I have no control over the answers that come my way. And post the show, I have a control room of about 16-17 girls. The show 'Koffee with Karan' is run entirely by women. I'm the only man there. None of them came up (with issues)."</p>

<p>Both the cricketers were not only <a href="http://www.wionews.com/sports/bcci-issues-showcause-notice-against-hardik-pandya-k-l-rahul-for-comments-on-women-in-tv-show-189173">slammed </a>for the remarks but were labelled “misogynistic” and “sexist”. They have currently been<a href="http://www.wionews.com/sports/hardik-pandya-kl-rahul-out-from-1st-odi-amid-recommendation-of-suspension-189599"> provisionally suspended </a>by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), pending an inquiry.</p>

In what many will call Karan Johar’s late realisation, the filmmaker has now apologised for the controversial ‘Koffee With Karan’ episode starring cricketers Hardik Pandya and K L Rahul.

In what many will call Karan Johar’s late realisation, the filmmaker has now apologised for the controversial ‘Koffee With Karan’ episode starring cricketers Hardik Pandya and K L Rahul. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Karan admitted that the conversation “may have crossed boundaries” as he spoke of feeling “responsible”. He told ET Now in an interview, "I'm not justifying the conversation that happened on the episode. I'm saying that perhaps things were said that may have crossed boundaries and I apologise because it was my platform where it happened." Also read: Karan Johar is as much to blame for Hardik Pandya-KL Rahul controversy Karan added that the boys have "paid the price" for what happened on the episode. "I haven't spoken about it really... I feel very responsible because it was my show and my platform. I invited them as guests and so the ramifications and repercussions of the show are my responsibility. I have had so many sleepless nights, just wondering about how I can undo this damage. Who is going to listen to me? It has now gone into a zone that is beyond my control," he said. Read the cricketers' apology here. Karan then called himself a feminist who has been brought up by strong women and said that he has often asked similar questions to his female guests on the show. He said, "I don't defend myself when I say this, the questions I asked the two boys are the questions I ask everyone, including women. When Deepika (Padukone) and Alia (Bhatt) were on the show, I asked them those questions. I have no control over the answers that come my way. And post the show, I have a control room of about 16-17 girls. The show 'Koffee with Karan' is run entirely by women. I'm the only man there. None of them came up (with issues)." Both the cricketers were not only slammed for the remarks but were labelled “misogynistic” and “sexist”. They have currently been provisionally suspended by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), pending an inquiry. Karan admitted he didn’t know that this would result in such chaos as he said nobody after watching it said, “Karan, this is was inappropriate" while they did think it was "crazy or cracked".

<p>When the outspoken Sreesanth says Karan Johar should also take the blame for the disastrous aftermath of Hardik Pandya's declarations on Koffee With Karan he is not off the mark.</p>

<p>Fact is, the channel is "extremely concerned" about its image after Pandya's misogyny was outed. And if sources are to be believed, axing the show has also been contemplated. But we now hear there would be no such grave ramifications, only an apology on the show for the careless and insensitive man-talk.</p>

<p>But a more far-reaching repercussion awaits the show as the guests would have to watch their mouth. And if they shoot it off nevertheless, Karan Johar would have to ensure the smut sleaze and innuendos are kept out of range.</p>

<p>Fact is, the show's underlining mood of sexiness was simmering to a boil for some time now. Both the men and the women celebrities were being asked what would be termed as improper questions and it was considered okay since, "Karan is like that only," as one of his indulgent female star guests told me.</p>

<p>Crossing the line comes naturally on "Koffee With Karan". It comes with the territory. The show is an extension of Karan Johar's personality. Everyone loves Karan, even if he is a little leery. No one minds if he asks what would be considered improper in other circumstances. He is a part of the super-privileged elite of Bollywood who have access to everyone who counts. And that makes him more powerful than almost anyone else in Bollywood.</p>

<p>Karan's own love life is zilch. But he is a love guru to many of the biggest actors and actresses. Varun Dhawan, Siddharth Malhotra, Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor are some of the stars who lean on Karan for heart-related advice. Karan has solved more love tangles than Mike Myers in Love Guru.</p>

<p>I once asked him about his status as Bollywood's resident love consultant and said, "I don't have a love life of my own. So I invest all my unused energy in others' love life."</p>

<p>This was long before the twin towers of his existence. His children, Roohi and Yash, have given him a reason to come home quickly after work. And Karan, who made sure he makes his presence felt at every happening-do in Mumbai, is no longer that wild a party animal. He would rather have <em>dudhoo</em> with his babies than Koffee with the stars.&nbsp;</p>

<p>If for no other reason, he should now curb his naughty instincts for the sake of his children. Would Karan like his son Yash on the sofa one day talking the way Hardik was heard talking?</p>

<p>Maybe he would. But then the normal lines of decorum are not sketched for Karan. This unsavoury incident has taught him not to look for a mischievous pun in the name 'Hardik'.</p>

<p>It's time to stop playing the field.</p>

Amid controversy, Star's OTT platform removes Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul's 'Koffee With Karan' episode

<p>Actor Vicky Kaushal who is been seen enthusiastically promoting his highly awaited upcoming film 'Uri', has now spread the ' josh' to his Bollywood friends as well.<br />
A day before the film's release, the actor got an airplane full of stars saying out loud the powerful trending lines from the film 'Uri'.</p>

<p>As a bunch of young Bollywood stars made their way to New Delhi to meet the PM, Vicky took the opportunity to get his friends to promote his film mid-air.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
He shared a video on his Instagram page which had him along with other stars of the fraternity cheering for ' Uri'.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
“Guys I have something to say to you,” he says to the camera and shows the faces of all the stars behind him. “How’s the josh?” he asks the group, screaming at the top of his lungs, just like his character from the film. And just like his soldiers from the films, the stars also respond with all their might, “High, Sir!” They also chant ‘Jai Hind’ and when Vicky asks when Uri is releasing, they say “Tomorrow!"</p>

Actor Vicky Kaushal who is been seen enthusiastically promoting his highly awaited upcoming film 'Uri', has now spread the ' josh' to his Bollywood friends as well. A day before the film's release, the actor got an airplane full of stars saying out loud the powerful trending lines from the film 'Uri'. As a bunch of young Bollywood stars made their way to New Delhi to meet the PM, Vicky took the opportunity to get his friends to promote his film mid-air. He shared a video on his Instagram page which had him along with other stars of the fraternity cheering for ' Uri'. “Guys I have something to say to you,” he says to the camera and shows the faces of all the stars behind him. “How’s the josh?” he asks the group, screaming at the top of his lungs, just like his character from the film. And just like his soldiers from the films, the stars also respond with all their might, “High, Sir!” They also chant ‘Jai Hind’ and when Vicky asks when Uri is releasing, they say “Tomorrow!"

<p>The year 2019 has just begun and we already have the selfie of the year. On Thursday, Karan Johar and a bunch of young stars from Bollywood came to Delhi to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss on how cinema can help in nation building.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The meeting was facilitated by Karan Johar and had leading Bollywood stars like Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal, Ayushmann Khurrana, Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar, Varun Dhawan and Siddharth Malhotra in attendance. Ekta Kapoor, directors Rohit Shetty and Ashwini Iyer Tiwari were also part of the delegation.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Post meeting, the stars posed for an epic selfie with the PM. The photo was shared on Instagram by Karan Johar, who thanked PM Modi for slashing GST rates of movie tickets and wrote, "Powerful and timely conversations can bring about change and this was one of what we hope will become a regular conversation. Meeting the Honorable Prime Minister @narendramodi today was an incredible opportunity.</p>

<p>As a community, there is a huge interest to contribute to nation building. There is so much that we want to do. And can do and this dialogue was towards how and what ways we can do that. When the youngest country (in demography) joins hands with the largest movie industry in the world, we hope to be a force to reckon with. Together we would love to inspire and ignite positive changes to a transformative India.</p>

<p>The film industry would also like to send a huge thanks for the GST reduction in movie ticket prices that was implemented recently!&nbsp;<br />
Thank you so much for your time, Sir!"</p>

The year 2019 has just begun and we already have the selfie of the year. On Thursday, Karan Johar and a bunch of young stars from Bollywood came to Delhi to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss on how cinema can help in nation building. The meeting was facilitated by Karan Johar and had leading Bollywood stars like Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal, Ayushmann Khurrana, Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar, Varun Dhawan and Siddharth Malhotra in attendance. Ekta Kapoor, directors Rohit Shetty and Ashwini Iyer Tiwari were also part of the delegation. Post meeting, the stars posed for an epic selfie with the PM. The photo was shared on Instagram by Karan Johar, who thanked PM Modi for slashing GST rates of movie tickets and wrote, "Powerful and timely conversations can bring about change and this was one of what we hope will become a regular conversation.

<p>Brothers Shahid Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter will be the next guests on the popular chat show 'Koffee With Karan'. Going by the trailer of the upcoming show, the episode is going to be a riot with the brothers talking about their love life, exes and careers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In one of the segment, Karan can be seen asking Shahid what advice he'd want to give Nick Jonas to which Shahid replies, "Never back down buddy. You’re with the original Desi Girl.”</p>

<p>For those coming in late, Shahid was rumoured to be dating Priyanka while the two worked in 'Kaminey'. While the two actors never confirmed the news, they were spotted making appearances at parties together.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As Priyanka Chopra married Nick Jonas in December 2018 and threw a bash for Bollywood in Mumbai, Shahid and Mira were seen attending the event. So clearly, the two have remained cordial over the years.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sara Ali Khan and Ranveer Singh are busy promoting their film 'Simmba'. The last release of 2018 has Ranveer Singh playing a cop and Sara plays his love interest. While promoting their film at a reality show recently, Sara commented on how memes were being made on her drastic style change ever since she started working with Ranveer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Later, the young star took to Instagram to share a hilarious meme of herself. Sara posted a before and after photo highlighting how her style has become more in tune with the 'Simmba' actor in the past few weeks.</p>

<p>In the 'before' pic, Sara is seen wearing a white short dress while in the after pic, Sara can be seen in psychedelic pant and crop top.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ranveer is known for his eccentric style. The actor has often been spotted wearing loud prints so perhaps his influence&nbsp;has rubbed on Sara as well.&nbsp;Ranveer had also shared a meme about Sara earlier on Sunday.&nbsp;</p>
