After Salman Khan, Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, Bollywood actors Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan will be seen as guests on the third episode of the popular chat show, ‘Koffee with Karan’.

As the makers unveiled the teaser of the forthcoming episode on Saturday, Varun and Janhvi revealed that filmmaker Karan Johar had stopped speaking to them both. The ‘Mili’ actress added that she even ended up gaining weight when the director was not talking to her.

During the teaser, Karan shared the reason of his silent treatment, saying “I was hurt with both of you.”

Janhvi pitched in with, “I gained weight when we stopped talking.”

Accusing KJo of being too dramatic, Varun added, “Karan, you said very dramatic shit. You became Bachchan from K3G: ‘Mein bada hoon, haq hai mera.'”

While it is not clear why the filmmaker stopped talking to both Varun and Janhvi, it seems like all is well between them now.

As a fun twist to the episode, actor Arjun Kapoor joined Varun and Janhvi for the rapid fire round on the show.

As Karan asked Varun, who will he like to take career advice and marriage advice from, he immediately took Arjun’s name.

Additionally, as Janhvi was asked to name one Instagram account that is ‘giving’ all the time, she replied, Ravi Kishan. After that, she also went on to imitate his viral punchline: ‘Money follows my brother!’. Arjun also accompanied his sister.

Sharing the teaser of the next episode of ‘Koffee With Karan’ on his Instagram handle, Karan wrote the caption, “@varundvn & @janhvikapoor on my couch…need I say more? This one was all madness and love + a very special (longstanding) guest. Koffee with Karan Season 9, Episode 3, streaming Wednesday at 7pm, only on The Peacock Hub on JioHotstar.”

Filmmaker Rohit Shetty questioned Lovepreet Gill about her relationship with fellow contestant Scout on the reality show ‘Bigg Boss 20’, pointing out that their physical closeness, including Scout massaging her legs, hands and neck, could be perceived differently by viewers outside the house.

In a promo shared by the channel on Instagram, Rohit stepped in for hosting duties, and Salman Khan had prior commitments. The filmmaker asked Lovepreet about her bond with Scout.

Lovepreet maintained that she considers Scout a brother, while Rohit said their interactions were “looking absolutely wrong” from an outsider’s perspective.

“When he’s massaging your legs, massaging your hands, massaging your neck. Love, that doesn’t look right. You tell Scout to massage your back. He’s massaging your calves. It’s not looking good at all,” Rohit said.

To which, Scout chimed in: “I do, Mahi di too.”

Rohit replied: “Scout! What you see outside, what you feel outside, that’s what I’m telling you. It’s looking absolutely wrong.”

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan took a trip down memory lane as he recalled a humorous childhood memory of celebrating Diwali, saying that the excitement of bursting firecrackers often turned into a friendly rivalry with neighbours.

Actors Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Ravi Dubey brought festive cheer to the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati as they joined megastar Amitabh Bachchan for a special Diwali episode while promoting their upcoming film Ramayana.

(Sir, the only thing I remember about Diwali is that if a firecracker went off at the neighbour’s house, ours had to be louder than theirs)
