News India Live, Digital Desk: ‘Koffee with Karan’… is not just a talk show, but a hub of Bollywood gossip, controversies and spicy stories, where almost every big star has come and expressed his feelings. Everyone from Shahrukh Khan to Deepika Padukone has been seen on its famous couch. Even cricketers like Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul have come and added to the headlines of the show. But one question that has been revolving in the mind of every cricket and Bollywood fan for years is that till date ‘King’ is still on this show. Virat Kohli Why didn’t you come?
Many people thought that perhaps Virat did not want to come, while some felt that Karan was not interested in inviting him. But now, after so many years, Karan Johar himself has revealed this secret. And believe me, after knowing the reason you will also say that Karan’s decision was right to a great extent.
What is the real reason for not calling Virat?
This whole matter is a little professional and a little personal. Actually, the main reason behind this is Virat Kohli’s wife and Bollywood superstar, Anushka Sharma Are.
Karan Johar himself has revealed that his talent management company, DCA (Dharma Cornerstone Agency), manages Anushka Sharma’s work. This means that there is a professional relationship between Karan and Anushka. And just because of this, the issue of ‘conflict of interest’ comes up, which Karan wants to avoid.
The fear of this thing haunts Karan
Karan Johar says that if he invites Virat Kohli on his show despite this professional relationship, he will be in serious trouble. Explaining this, he said that no matter what he does, people will criticize him.
- If I ask soft questions: “People will immediately say, ‘Hey, this is all fixed. If you have called your client’s (Anushka) husband, he will ask only good questions.’ The show will be accused of bias.”
- If I ask sharp questions: “So people will say, ‘Look how strange it is, on one hand he is handling Anushka’s work and on the other hand he is asking such personal questions to her husband.’ Even then I will still be bad.”
Karan believes that this is a situation for him, where he will be trapped in a “Chit bhi meri, Pat bhi meri” situation and he will be the target from all sides.
Lesson learned from old controversy also?
Perhaps Karan Johar has also learned a big lesson from the controversy involving Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul. After that episode, the show and those cricketers were criticized a lot. In such a situation, he does not want to take the risk of creating any new controversy by calling the country’s biggest cricket icon Virat Kohli.
So, overall, Virat Kohli’s not coming on ‘Koffee with Karan’ is not due to any enmity or pride, but is the result of a thoughtful professional decision of Karan Johar.
