Koffee with Karan 6: Kajol threatens to hit Ajay Devgn with her shoe for cracking a mean joke

Sunday’s episode of Koffee with Karan season 6 was a rather pleasant surprise. Even the beginning was far better than usual as host Karan Johar delivered a less random, less forced and seemingly heartfelt opening monologue to introduce the episode and his guests for the night, actor couple Ajay Devgn and Kajol.

Karan wasted no time in bringing up the notorious and very public fight he had with Kajol a couple of years back. He said that though he wrote in his autobiography that he would never be friends again with Kajol, it turned out to be a lie. He spoke with great affection for his best friend, remembering the first time he met her and how she would make fun of his outfit choices.

Once they took their seats, Karan asked Ajay if they could become friends now. While Ajay agreed to the idea, Kajol said she will not let it happen. She told Karan that he was her friend and he doesn’t need to become friendly with her husband.

When Karan brought up how rarely we get so see Ajay Devgn at events, award functions or parties, he said he has social anxiety. He likes to do his job and come back home to spend time with his kids. Kajol said that he was just plain lazy but Ajay disagreed.

Ajay talked about how much his mother loves Kajol and feels more at ease with her than she does with him. He said that while she may have made an effort in that regard, her connection with his family was also helped by who she is essentially. She said while she does love Ajay, she also respects him a lot.

Kajol revealed that Ajay is the more obsessive parent of the two and often spends his nights waiting for their daughter Nysa until she comes back home. He asks her things like where she is going, when she will be back and more. Karan said that his mother still does it.

Talking about their work, Kajol said she likes her movies to be like the books she likes, fast-paced and exciting. She says this is why she is unable to choose more character-driven movies. Ajay says that one must expect failure and not give successes too much credit and it could come crumbling down. He said he doesn’t take much stress about work and leaves it right outside the door.

The rapid fire round gave us some cool answers too. Kajol said Karisma Kapoor is a friend, Hrithik Roshan is a fabulous dancer and that Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas make a good couple. When asked who would look good paired opposite her husband, she said, ‘Nobody’. She said Saif would be most likely to throw a tantrum, Shah Rukh Khan is most likely to come late. She chose Priyanka over Deepika Padukone as the hotter actress and Fanaa over My Name Is Khan as her favourite film.

On his turn, Ajay said people thought he is rude when he is simply an introvert. He said that the one superstition he believed in was that Karan’s film starting with K are lucky at the box office but Kaal turned out to be a flop. When asked which actor of the current generation would look good paired opposite Kajol, he said “As a son?” Kajol screamed, “Kutte, kameene! Joota...” she said while pointing at her shoe. Karan warned her that she can’t say that.

When asked the one lie everyone says in Bollywood, Ajay said “I love my wife.” Kajol showed him her angry eyes and said “Ghar jaana hai?” Ajay said he was talking about the other men.

Even with all his fiery answers, Kajol ended up winning the hamper.
