This week on
Koffee With Karan, there was some
gandi baat happening on the sofa, as
Shahid Kapoor and
Sonakshi Sinha were
the guests of the show. They’ve developed a good rapport after the
release of their first film together, which was clear during the
conversation. They’re two people who generally try to remain as
politically correct as possible, but still, as is with any
Koffee With Karan episode,
there were some fun moments and even some interesting revelations. Read
on for the recap on what we learned about these two stars!
1. Shahid and Sonakshi never got along in the beginning
They’ve got a great rapport now, but before
R… Rajkumar the
two weren’t really friends. In fact, quite the opposite: they thought
the other was snooty! Shahid was apparently put off by the fact that
Sonakshi went up to receive an award at a function Shahid was hosting,
but didn’t acknowledge him although she said hello to everyone else on
the stage. At the same time, Sonakshi thought he was just standing to
the side and not acknowledging
her although everyone came up to
congratulate her. She explained away the incident saying she was
flustered, while Shahid said she was intimidating since she was
surrounded by her dad and mom. So a bit of a misunderstanding in the
beginning, but clearly they sorted it all out.
2. Shahid and Sonakshi get along really well now
It’s not just me, right? There’s definitely some sort of chemistry
happening there? Sonakshi called it a “buddy vibe” but I don’t know, I’m
sensing something else. We already heard that they were sort of testing the waters back then, but are now apparently very much into each other
(keep in mind this episode was shot a while ago as well, even though
it’s airing now). Shahid called her his favourite co-star, while she
said she has 2 favourites, one being Shahid and the other being
Akshay Kumar.
They also had a great vibe on the show – laughing, making fun of each
other, praising the other. Check out this deleted scene where they talk
about their relationship a bit more:
3. Shahid hasn’t interacted with Kareena post the break-up
When asked what his status with his ex-girlfriends are currently, Shahid said that he and
Kareena Kapoor
haven’t really interacted with each other. He claimed they ran into
each other once and it was mildly awkward, since they were both trying
to be formal and nice. As for
Priyanka Chopra, he says
he’s hung out with her a lot and it’s been good. Can he hang out with
them as friends now? “With Priyanka, for sure. With Kareena… we don’t
have that kind of equation.”
He also ended the conversation with a bit of a snub by saying that he
thinks Sonakshi can be a lot more than a housewife. That relates back
to Kareena’s episode, where she said that, if not an actress, Sonakshi
would make a good housewife.
4. Sonakshi Sinha is a “good girl”
When questioned about why there are never any major rumours about her
– just a few, here and there – Sonakshi said that it’s likelier that
it’s because she’s ‘boring’. However, she does say that her closest
friends aren’t from the industry and keep laughing at her movies, so
that keeps her on the ground at all times. “Other than that, I’m working
really hard.” And when she’s not working, she’s spending most of her
time with family.
5. Shahid Kapoor has had quite an evolution
While Sonakshi can still be considered a good girl, Shahid seems to
have broken out completely. He was a lot more prone to doing some
gandi baat,
and even openly said some things he would have perhaps shied away from
before. For example, he didn’t deny that he was dating Priyanka,
something that he did even when they appeared on the show during their
relationship. He even admitted that he hooked up in a public place,
passed a somewhat snide comment at Kareena, said you can “enjoy your
sexual freedom” when in a relationship, and picked up on every innuendo.
If you go back and watch his first episode with Kareena, you’ll see the
difference!
