From their men’s loo stories to the legendary burp, the first episode of Koffee With Karan season 6 was a laugh riot with Deepika and Alia as its guests.
Ahhh… so it finally happened! The first episode of the most happening show ‘Koffee with Karan’ season 6 with Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt was premiered recently. As expected there were lots of revelations and gossips. Here is my view of the episode #spoileralert.
The first episode this season was all about ‘Girl Power’ as both the actresses – Deepika and Alia have had a very successful year at the box office. The ladies discussed their movies ‘Padmavat’ and ‘Raazi’. they talked about how much of a struggle it was and how happy they were with the success of both the movies. The episode was also very special because of the Elephant in the room aka their current relationships that was addressed a lot of times in the episode.
Karan Johar (KJo) started the show by coining up with a new term called ‘Nepospasm’ and explained that it’s the neck spasms he gets every time someone says nepotism. He then invited the lovely Deepika and Alia and started talking about the auspicious ‘Mangalam Bhagwan Vishnu’. Although Deepika tried very hard to evade questions about her wedding, in the end, she accepted that she will be getting married first. Also, Ranveer and Deepika have announced that they will be getting married on 14th and 15th of November 2018. Some true couple goals these two often give us, isn’t it?
Alia spoke about her current relationship with Ranbir Kapoor which is going to complete a year pretty soon. The awkward and the funny moment here was how KJo pointed out that Alia uses Ayan Mukherji to share photos of her boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor on Instagram. Deepika, on the other hand, spoke about her 6-year long relationship with Ranveer Singh, she discussed their cute unique display of love through Instagram. We also got to know about “Tutu, Lulu and Zozo” which are the pet names of Ranveer, Alia and Zoya Akhtar given to them by each other respectively.
The three of them – Karan, Deepika and Alia spent the first 15-20 minutes of the episode talking about relationships and how they are completely fine being around their exes. Deepika and Alia spoke about how they are quite comfortable hanging out with each other despite Deepika having dated Ranbir Kapoor in the past and Alia dating him now. As exciting as it was, it felt like there was some sort of an urge and need for them to clarify that there is no ‘bad blood’.
The episode, as usual, had the ‘Rapid Fire’ round which was hilarious apart from that the ladies spoke about what they liked about each other, their love interests and spilled the beans on how they once went to the Men’s loo. So, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the first episode was more than just them gossiping about other celebs in the industry. It was light and breezy; it was something that would bring up a smile on your face. Starting from the Nepotism jokes, relationship talks, rapid fires, and with the legendary ‘burp’ the episode was indeed a blast.
To conclude the first episode of Koffee with Karan Season 6 has set up the benchmark and raised our excitement for upcoming episodes.

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
14 years after her last feature film Dhobi Ghat, storyteller extraordinaire comes up with her new film, Laapataa Ladies, a must watch.
*Some spoilers alert*
Every religion around the world dictates terms to women. The onus is always on women to be ‘modest’ and cover their faces and bodies so men can’t be “tempted”, rather than on men to keep their eyes where they belong and behave like civilized beings. So much so that even rape has been excused on the grounds of women eating chowmein or ‘men will be men’. I think the best Hindi movie retort to this unwanted advice on ‘akeli ladki khuli tijori ki tarah hoti hai’ (an alone woman is like an open jewellery box) came from Geet in Jab We Met – Kya aap gyan dene ke paise lete hain kyonki chillar nahin hain mere paas.
The premise of Laapataa Ladies is beautifully simple – two brides clad in the ghunghat that covers their identity get mixed up on a train. Within this Russian Doll, you get a comedy of errors, a story of getting lost, a commentary on patriarchy’s attitude towards women, a mystery, and a tale of finding oneself, all in one. Done with a mostly light touch that has you laughing and nodding along.
