We are back with another controversial clip from Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee With Karan. The show is truly a Pandora’s box for many Bollywood celebs and the host himself. This time we bring you a clip where the filmmaker was called out by Shahid Kapoor’s wife Mira Rajput for favoritism.
Meera and Shahid were seen together in the show. In a fun segment, she turned host and asked Karan Johar some questions. Mira presented a list of stars for Karan Johar to rank in terms of their talent or acting abilities.
The list included Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Sidharth Malhotra, Arjun Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur. In response to the same, the Kabir Singh actor turned to Mira and asked, “Why am I not in that list?” To which, Mira took a dig at Karan Johar and trolled him for not taking Shahid’s name in any of the lists. She said, “Because he never asks, he never mentions you on any of his lists.”
Karan Johar was surprised by this sudden trolling. While he looked uncomfortable, Shahid rubbed his eyes. The video is now going viral on the internet and some users claim that it was later removed from the show after Karan received a lot of flak for it.
Redditors had strong reactions to the video. While the caption of the video claims, “Apparently Karan deleted this bit from the episode. I saw the episode on Hotstar and they edited it. Why do you think Karan ousted Shahid?”
One user commented, ‘Because Karan wants to spread best actor Ranbir and best actress Alia narrative. After performances like Haider and Udta Punjab, most people would put Shahid on top. Another user wrote, “Shahid is a better actor than RK. RK Can’t drag Haider or bastard. Shahid can do all the roles of Ranbir except Barfi. That’s why it’s never on the list.
A user was convinced that Shahid and Mira had planned this and Karan was taken aback. “Well I think it was planned between Mira and Shahid. But love it”, read the comment. “Karan is on his mind” Kareena will feel bad, joked a user.
Users unanimously agreed that Shahid is a better actor than Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, but Karan Johar wants to create a narrative of him being the better actor. “Yeah, of course. Shahid has more range than Ranbir and is arguably a better actor”, wrote a user.
A user pointed out how Shahid Kapoor appears in every season of the show despite not being on the list. “I always wondered how Karan always leaves Shaheed down! It always stars Ranveer and Ranbir. For young actors, there is always Varun, Siddharth and Tiger. For megastars, there is always Khan and Hrithik. And Shahid has been a part of all the seasons? Isn’t it strange for Shahid? and he doesn’t like Arjun Kapoor.. that at least we are getting to come.
But there were some who argued that Shahid didn’t belong in the list because of his timeline. “I always thought this “calling out” was weird. The lists were always about the young crop of up-and-coming actors. Shahid was kind of in-generation, much senior to Ranbir, Ranveer etc. But the 90s Not even the stars of K. wrote a user.
