Koffee with Lara & Katrina: Hot or Whot!!

From the very start, I totally adored Lara Dutta. Not so much for her acting skills but mostly for the whole “attitude” package she carried with herself and to say, she looked ravishing on the big screen is like stating it really mildly. On the other hand, Katrina Kaif was just another pretty face in Bollywood to me. Drop-dead-gorgeous, no doubt! But can the woman act, I certainly didn’t think so. However she turned out to be a surprise package for (most of) her critics; with every film, Ms. Kaif only keeps getting better.

Watching two of my favorite Bollywood ladies together, chatting up with one of the bitchiest host on Indian Tele – in many ways, was a perfect end to a otherwise dull Sunday evening for me.

To make things clear here, I not saying that this particular episode was anything extra-ordinary like the one Karan had with motor-mouth Rakhi Sawant, all me saying that it was a lot more entertaining (than the last few episodes) and a lot more soothing for the watching eyes.

Both the ladies looked stunningly beautiful in their long dresses; the designer chhap was definitely there. And by god, the slits on the sides seemed to have no beginning but then again with shinny-toned legs like theirs – you would hear no complains. By far, Katrina and Lara were undoubtedly the best dressed ladies on Koffee with Karan’s second season.

Lara, just as in Season 1, was her bubbly self though some of her answers titled more on the cautious side…looks like she has finally learnt the Hindi Film Industry’s diplomatic ways. However what truly surprised me was her dig at the South Indian movies. Of course, it was all said not to be taken seriously however I am not sure if the folks down South would have found her mimicking skills all that amusing.

While for Sallu’s girlfriend, it was the first time to be seated on Bollywood’s most famous couch and she appeared to be very much at ease, maybe it was the Salman’s famous “Fear-Not” Biryani’s influence. Like most other heroines, she too conveniently dodged the “boyfriend” questions – I seriously wonder why, I mean the whole world knows that she is intimate with Salman but with a firangi accent like hers, one can even get away with murder.

The rapid-fire round was highly engaging, though I felt Katrina so deserved the Koffee hamper which was awarded to Lara instead. On the whole, the one hour featuring the dazzling ladies was fulltu-timepass and tons better than the likes of dull Madhuri Dixit, butt-licking Himesh Bhai and ultra-boring Saif Ali Khan.

Next Week – This episode is the definitely the highlight of the second season, here Karan would be brewing his Koffee with none other than Bollywood’s most talked-about couple, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. And in true Juneja style, I can’t wait to rip them apart review the finale.

I saw KwK episode…was a good one! Lara looked sophisticated as ever and Katrina ofcourse, is one charming lady. Salman sure has picked the best cherry of the cake..Best was when Karan remarked- I think i’m interviewing a pair of legs..lol!!

Katrina Kaif was an absolute delight. I seriously didn’t think she could act or possessed half a brain (blame her movies) but she came across as intelligent and articulate. She talks sense and her answers seem unrehearsed. I gotta say with looks like that Kaif could seriously launch a thousand products as an international model..wonder whats keeping her here!

my fav part was when lara chose gracy singh as miss personality and when karan looked shocked she said “i just feel like no one’s said her name in a really long time”

To me the best bit was when Lara called Amisha Patel, a fashion disaster. ;)

I think that both Karan Johar and Lara Dutta shouldnt have made such stereotypical comments about south films.Its not even remotely funny. After doing a south movie, before which she claimed to have been excited about,she goes on to ridicule it publicly.Its not tactful and its very demeaning especially because there are fantastic talents from the South and not all films are the way they had described and make a mockery of.
Anyway, both these heroines are yet to even work with Mani Ratnam…so they are in no position to talk holistically about Southern film-making.

Well, taking a dig on tamil&malayalm films started with katrina’s versatiliy on indian languages. Not that she knows any language fluently exept hindi, albeit in the learning-level 2 process of the language. But, what i found odd is the reason katrina chose to do films south(malayalam movie) in the begining of her career. According to katrina, doing malayalam movies will help her improve her language skills, what language? and if its hindi, ther is no way on earth learning malayalam will help a person understand hindi. Isn’t “learning” HINDI the way to “understand” HINDI. Well, lara was not mimicking tamil, afterall she spoke quite well, it ws just Kj wanted to know if a hindi actress can speak tamil, a very foreign language to Kj more than gujarati, bengali, punjabi. Lara shud know better, as she is from bangalore and there english, tamil, kannada,telugu and malayalam are main langauages ther accordin to tht order.
