Sonam and Anil with Karan Johar

It’s Anil Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor on Koffee with Karan tonight (9pm, STAR World). Tune in to watch the father-daughter pair talk films and fashion, Bollywood and boyfriends. A sneak peek.

IF YOU AREN’T GOOD-LOOKING, THEY THINK YOU ARE A GOOD ACTOR

Karan Johar (to Sonam Kapoor): Does it bother you when you are not labelled as one of the lead actors… performance-wise… as in, you are getting there… but you are a superstar also, you have that image and vibe, you walk tall like one, but does it bother you when they talk about other actors more in the acting department?

Sonam Kapoor: Well, you know, the thing about the industry is they think if you are not good-looking, they think you are a good actor. It’s true!

Anil Kapoor: I’ll tell you Karan, you will be shocked…. Dilip Kumar, you see his earlier releases, for Dilip Kumar they used to say that, for Madhuri Dixit, for her they used to say that usko acting nahin aati yaar, for the first three-four films you should read the reviews your friend Khalid Mohamed has written! I am sure he must be watching the show...

Sonam: Khalid uncle is like one of my godfathers okay, so we should not say… and fortunately for me, the reason I have survived in the industry is because of the critics… because I don’t get bad reviews... they have always praised my performance.

I AM CONSIDERED AN ICON AT AGE 20: SONAM

Karan: In my own experience, I don’t think I am respected by the directors’ fraternity, I think they think I am this talk-show host who is all over the place… has this glamorous kind of film-making...

Sonam: This is what I am saying, people make so-called art films, why do you have to take like not nice-looking people, like why? Doesn’t make sense and just that they don’t look good does not mean they are good actors. That’s why I have so much respect for Raju (Rajkumar) Hirani or I have so much respect for Aditya Chopra or you or whatever, because 10 years down the line I would want to watch a Kuch Kuch Hota Hai again, you consider classics like Maine Pyar Kiya, DDLJ…. I want to go down in posterity…you know what I mean. I am considered an icon at the age of 20 when people like after 40s or after they die are considered icons. It’s just amazing!

Karan: She has just called herself an icon!

Anil: We don’t say… people are saying!

Koffee with Karan airs tonight at 9pm on STAR World

I HAVE TRAINED SONAM TO SAY ‘JUST FRIENDS’: ANIL

Karan: So you have kept your personal life out of… so currently apparently there is some boyfriend… is that not true?

Sonam: No boyfriends! I am very single.

Karan (to Anil): She has no boyfriends?!

Anil: She has friends… that I have trained her… kuch bhi ho bolo friends! Just friends!

Karan: This is your training?

Anil: Yeah, my training!

Sonam: Honestly, I don’t feel it, like till I don’t decide I want to be with someone for the rest of my life, I don’t want to talk about it… I don’t want to commit anything to the media because eventually 10 years down the line when I have kids, I don’t want them to look back in the papers… because what is in the papers never goes away!

RANBIR KAPOOR SHOULD NEVER THINK OF DATING SONAM: ANIL

Karan: One person who should never think of dating Sonam?

Anil: Ranbir Kapoor.

Karan: If you were unmarried, who is that one actress you would like to take on a romantic date?

Anil: No, ya. I am too scared, ya....

I can’t even dream. Because if I dream, she’ll come to know… Sunita (wife). Seriously.

Sonam: So petrified of mom!

Karan: If you could turn into one person from the film industry for 24 hours who would you be and what would you do?

Anil: Adi Chopra. (I would) come out in the open to the media and go to parties, enjoy myself, have fun.

Karan: As a jury member of an imaginary award ceremony, to whom would you give the ‘most irritating song’ award to?

Anil: It was from my film (Andaz)… Khada hai, khada hai. It was the worst song!

Sonam: Ewwww, daddy!

Karan: True or false... Hollywood is more fun than Bollywood.

Anil: No, Bollywood’s more fun.

Karan: First thing that comes to your mind when I say Academy Awards?

Anil: Aah, it was one of the greatest moments of my life.

Karan: Critics in India?

Anil: I adore them because they don’t know anything!

katrina is the sexiest actress: ANIL

Karan: The sexiest actress in India today?

Anil: Katrina Kaif.

Karan: If you woke up as Salman Khan, what is the first thing you would do?

Anil: It’s not possible. He’s unique, he’s special. I can’t be Salman Khan.

Karan: Nobody else can wake up as Salman?

Anil: Nobody else can be Salman Khan…. Only Salman can wake up being Salman Khan.

Karan: And if you woke up as Shah Rukh Khan?

Anil: (I would) want to be Salman Khan!

Karan: The more stunning actress?

Anil: Katrina.

Karan: You are quite a Katrina fan. Papa is quite into Katrina! (Looks at Sonam)

Anil: No, no. I have done maximum films with Katrina and I have seen her, the way she has evolved as an actor, the way she carries herself, is fantastic. I have not met her in the last one-and-a-half, two years. I heard she has changed a bit. But if I see her change, I am going to give it to her, because I want her to be the same.

DEEPIKA is good girl gone bad: SONAM

Karan: What is the one thing Katrina Kaif has that you don’t?

Sonam: A 200 crore film (Dhoom:3).

Karan: Deepika Padukone?

Sonam: An overenthusiastic PR team.

Karan: If you were playing truth or dare with Ranbir Kapoor and could ask him, or make him do anything, what would you do?

Sonam: I mean, honestly, I think the only thing is for him to make a serious commitment and get married. I think that’s the only thing I would dare him to do.

Karan: Farhan Akhtar?

Sonam: Never wear a shirt. Sorry, dad!

Karan: Who comes to your mind when (I say) ‘party starter’?

Sonam:You!

Karan: Good girl gone bad?

Sonam: Deepika.

Sonam: Dress her age.

Karan: Vidya Balan?

Sonam: Dress as herself. Be comfortable in what she wears.

Karan: Deepika Padukone?

Sonam: Create your own style. She’s not a clotheshorse. She wears what people… she doesn’t have her own style.

Sonam: Okay please don’t kill me, but I used to think he’s really cute looking!

Karan: No, I am not killing.

Sonam: Ya, but... don’t judge me guys!

Karan: That you find Sonu Nigam hot?!

Sonam: It’s his voice... Yeh dil dewaana.

Karan: You were turned on with his voice… Sonam you’re mad!
