Their 60 minutes on the couch was billed the “raciest” Koffee with Karan episode ever, prompting STAR World to shift Sunday’s episode to the 11pm slot from the usual 9pm. And Freida Pinto and Nargis Fakhri sure lived up to the promise in the promos, chatting on everything that no one has ever known our heroines to do. But while Freida’s faux American accent was a #fail, the disarmingly candid and real Nargis was a lot of goofy fun.
Over to the two bombshells...
FREIDA PINTO
On being rejected by Bollywood before Slumdog Millionaire
Freida: Many producers thought I wasn’t Indian-looking enough. One producer even asked me to get a job done...
Karan: On your body?
Freida: Yes, in a certain zone of my body (smiles). I met him a few days ago in Delhi and I don’t think he even remembered saying that to me!
On dating a much younger Dev Patel
Karan Johar: Do you feel like a female paedophile?
Freida: Oh yes! But in terms of maturity, Dev is well beyond his years. He’s an old soul... but we aren’t getting married anytime soon!
On doing a striptease in the Bruno Mars music video Gorilla Freida: Just because I don’t walk around the streets in a bikini doesn’t mean that I am not in touch with my sexual side. Every human being needs to be in touch with their sexual side, and I don’t mean in that in a dirty way. It’s all about embracing your femininity.
Threesome with Deepika and Nargis! Karan: Who would you gift the book Fifty Shades of Grey to?
Freida: Deepika (Padukone), while I am busy with Nargis!
[Minutes before, Nargis had chosen Deepika and Freida for a threesome and Freida had enthusiastically joined in!]

NARGIS FAKHRI
Nargis = Butt Cheeks!
Nargis: I have a lot of friends who are Hispanic and my name doesn’t really mean it of course, but when you say Nargis a little too fast sometimes, it sounds as ‘Nargas’ which means ‘butt cheeks’! So I have often introduced myself as Butt Cheeks (Points to her butt) Freida: My name in Portuguese or Brazilian, I don’t remember which, means ‘little penis’! Nargis: Okay, Little Penis meet Butt Cheeks! [From butt cheeks to boobs. Nargis said one needed boobs to make it as a heroine in Bollywood and Freida at once responded with that was why she could never make it here! The two girls then had quite a session about slip-on silicon boobs!]
On giving out the ‘I’m available’ vibe
Nargis: I have a lot of hot and sexy guy friends. Sometimes, the men here (in India) get the wrong idea if you are too friendly. They just need to hold up and back off!
Things you don’t know about Nargis Nargis: Despite being all sexy and stuff, I’m actually kind of goofy, I tell a lot of dirty jokes so yes, I’m kind of vulgar, and I’m saving up to buy a farm in New Zealand.
[Also, Nargis has a great sense of humour: “I once read this article in the newspaper that said that I was living in with two guys at the same time, one of whom was Shahid (Kapoor), and that my mom had come visiting me. I started wondering: ‘I’m living with two guys and still having to pay rent!’”]
[The way she trolled KJo in the ‘Who am I’ quiz round was LOL funny!]
On hinting that she’s seeing Uday Chopra
Nargis: I am not going to be saying anything about my personal life because the newspapers claim that my personal life is amazing and I am going to keep it amazing.
Karan (to Freida): She’s about to become a Yash Raj bahu...
(Nargis smiles and blushes)
Karan: Kill, marry or hook-up? Ranbir, John or Uday? Nargis: I would kill to see Ranbir and John hook up, and would marry Uday!
[Karan’s parting shot to Nargis: “Give my love to Uday”.]
