The Koffee with Karan Controversy…

Deepika and Sonam on Koffee with Karan

After an episode that was all fun & games with Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan, Karan Johar may have run into a spot of trouble by letting Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor take to the sofa. Apparently all their digs at junior RK did not go down well with daddy Rishi Kapoor one bit! Disgusted at their behaviour, Kapoor conveyed to Deepika and Sonam that they should have shown some class. He also declared that he would think twice before working with Karan again. Oops.

Mommy Neetu Singh however seems to be remaining neutral and was even spotted with Reema Jain on the sets of  Karan’s home production Short Term Shaadi statting Imran Khan and Kareena Kapoor in Las Vegas. (Might be cos Reema’s son Armaan is an assistant on the film. Hmmm.)

Psst! There’s more juice! On the same show Deepika said she would like to see Katrina Kaif’s passport, apparently not only to decipher her age (like most people thought) but to scope for immigration stamps to confirm that she had traveled to the US to meet Ranbir when he was shooting there for Anjaana Anjaani. She followed this up by declaring that if she could gift Ranbir anything it would be “a pack of condoms.” (Yikes Deepu, boil your bunny much?)

Kjo’s Crisis

Meanwhile Kjo’s ‘it’ celebrity talk show is taking a beating. There was a time when movies like Salaam-E-Ishq showed, Priyanka Chopra’s claiming that she would be considered a star the day Karan invites her on ‘Koffee with Karan’. But now rumor has it that Karan is having trouble scheduling stars who won’t come on board unless they have a film in the pipeline. To add to his troubles, for his upcoming production starring Kareena Kapoor and Imran Khan, Karan was trying to organize visas to the US but the Mumbai consulate has declined saying that they have too many requests already. This has apparently forced the production to take the entire unit to Chennai to get visas instead!
