Top 5 serious burns of all time, according to Deepika and Kangana, on Koffee with Karan
The seventh season of Karan Johar’s well-known chat programme Koffee With Karan will air soon. Many significant Bollywood disputes began on the Koffee With Karan couch, when celebrities occasionally made the snarkiest remarks about their peers. The problems have reached such a level that the filmmaker begged his industry pals to appear on his show in a trailer for the upcoming season, but they were afraid to risk any trouble.
Five such burns that were administered on the Koffee Couch and quickly gained notoriety have been collated. Among other celebs, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, and Kangana Ranaut have made the contentious remarks.
KANGANA RANAUT
The actor is at the top of the list because, in February 2017, she and her Rangoon co-stars Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor appeared in the fifth season of the programme. Her remarks also prompted a conversation about nepotism in Bollywood, which is still a hot button issue today.
When asked who in the business had given her the “most unnecessary attitude,” Kangana gave Karan a direct look and responded, “I think you Karan.” In addition, she added, “If my biopic is ever filmed, you’ll play the stereotype Bollywood biggie, who is like you know…very snobbish and absolutely intolerant towards outsiders, the poster child for nepotism, the movie mafia.”
Deepika Padukone
The actor, who is renowned for maintaining her composure and poise throughout interviews, did not hold back when questioned about her ex-boyfriend, Ranbir Kapoor. When she and Sonam Kapoor appeared on the third season of the programme in 2010, they were asked to choose a brand they thought Ranbir should support.
Ranbir could promote a “condom brand,” said Deepika in a snap. She explained that it was a joke but added that Ranbir should practise being a better lover.
Emraan Hashmi
Everyone in the audience gasped when the actor insulted Aishwarya Rai during the show’s well-liked rapid-fire round. In the fourth season of the programme in 2014, Emraan co-starred with Mahesh Bhatt, and he was asked to identify the actor or actress who comes to mind when he hears a certain phrase. Emraan said “Aishwarya” as Karan said “plastic” (Rai).
In another game, Emraan was asked to give Shraddha Kapoor one piece of advice, to which the actor responded, “Eat.” He also gave Deepika Padukone advice.
Sonam Kapoor
Sonam had her fair share of controversies on Koffee With Karan, from discussing her opinions on actresses and their surgeries to claiming that actors who aren’t ‘beautiful-looking’ are deemed to be ‘excellent performers.’ When the actor joined Kareena Kapoor on the fifth season of the programme, she came across as utterly reserved. She did, however, make a comment regarding Deepika Padukone, who is also wed to Ranveer Singh, Sonam’s cousin.
I don’t know her at all, Sonam said. I spoke to her last on your couch, which was our last encounter. If someone were to ask me which of the two actresses, Priyanka Chopra or Deepika Padukone, I would respond, “Priyanka,” let’s say. However, that is just my viewpoint; it does not imply that I disapprove of Deepika.
Sonam said, “An overenthusiastic PR staff,” when asked to think of something Deepika has that she doesn’t. Sonam made another appearance on the programme.
Ms. Kareena Kapoor
On the Koffee Couch, the actor has never been one to hold back. She famously mocked John Abraham by calling him “expressionless.” When Kareena later came on the programme, Bipasha Basu, who was dating John at the time, retaliated by claiming that Kareena has “too many expressions.”
The star once responded, “Where did PC get that accent from,” when asked what she would like to ask Priyanka Chopra if she interviews her. In response to Kareena, Priyanka said on her subsequent appearance on the programme, “I acquire my accent from the same place her lover (Saif Ali Khan) does.”
On July 7, the newest season of Koffee With Karan will debut, with guests Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. For the first time, the conversation show is being streamed on Disney+ Hotstar.

HBO defends JK Rowling’s involvement in Harry Potter series despite problematic stance on transgender community
JK Rowling, whose Harry Potter book franchise gave Warner Bros a blockbuster film franchise, is also associated with its upcoming HBO series.
JK Rowling has remained decidedly steadfast on her controversial stance on the transgender community. In a statement to Variety, HBO explained why the author is still involved in its upcoming series on Harry Potter despite her problematic gender politics. (Also Read: This Oscar-nominated actor lost out on Luna Lovegood role in Harry Potter, says how it ‘stayed with me over the years’)
What HBO said
“We are proud to once again tell the story of Harry Potter — the heartwarming books that speak to power of friendship, resolve and acceptance. JK Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement,” HBO’s statement stated.
It also added that its parent company Warner Bros “been working with JK Rowling and in the Harry Potter business for over 20 years” and “her contribution has been invaluable.” The report also states that HBO chief Casey Bloys informed the media at an event on November 12 that JK Rowling was “very, very involved in the process selecting the writer and the director,” and her anti-trans statements “haven’t affected the casting or hiring of writers or productions staff.”
A couple of days before that, Rowling had shared a screenshot of a tweet by an X user who wrote, “My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined” when the author had revealed that she’s “very involved” in the Harry Potter series. Rowling wrote along with the screenshot, “I’ve only just seen this response to me saying I’m very involved in the Harry Potter TV show and I think I’ve pulled something laughing.”
About Harry Potter series
Warner Bros launched an open casting call for the leads Harry, Hermoine and Ron, who were played by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, respectively, in the eight-part movie franchise.
The series will most likely go ahead with newcomers for the top three characters and mix it with veterans for the adult cast, like the movie franchise, which featured Richard Harris as Dumbledore and roped in Michael Gambon after his death. Late star Maggie Smith played Professor McGonagall, and Alan Rickman starred as Professor Snape.
Mark Rylance, 64, who won an Academy Award for best supporting actor in 2016 for his work in Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies, is reportedly at the top of the casting wishlist to play Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series.
