Karan Johar's illustrious talk show, 'Koffee With Karan,' Season 8, has once again become the epicenter of Bollywood buzz. Renowned for stirring excitement in the entertainment industry, the show is set to feature the charismatic duo, Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan, engaging in delightful banter and revealing unexpected truths alongside the effervescent host, Karan Johar.
The Backstory:
Notably, Sidharth and Varun made their Bollywood debut alongside Alia Bhatt in the 2012 hit film 'Student of the Year.' In a forthcoming episode of 'Koffee With Karan 8,' a surprising revelation comes to light – both actors initially expressed reservations about casting Alia Bhatt in the film. Karan Johar, the mastermind behind the show, divulged this intriguing detail, setting the stage for a candid exploration of the dynamics behind the casting decisions that shaped their careers.
Were Varun and Sidharth Initially Opposed to Alia?
The upcoming episode of 'Koffee With Karan 8' promises to unveil the truth as viewers witness Varun and Sidharth sharing the iconic couch with Karan Johar. This episode reveals that the duo indeed harbored reservations about casting Alia Bhatt in 'Student of the Year.'
Karan's Recollection:
Karan Johar took a trip down memory lane, recalling, "I vividly recall when Alia first entered, both of you messaged me expressing reservations about casting her. One of you mentioned she's too petite. That's how it all began." Karan Johar went on to share that the initial skepticism was dispelled during a photoshoot conducted three months later. Alia's demeanor, standing quietly and not making eye contact, hinted at her initial self-consciousness or shyness, perhaps fueled by the awareness that Sidharth and Varun were already familiar with Karan.
The Denial and Drama:
In response, Sidharth Malhotra refuted the claims of sending such messages. A playful exchange unfolded as Karan retorted, "Both of you were against casting her. Cut the drama; you kept sending me pictures of other girls." Despite the initial reservations, Sidharth acknowledged Alia's journey, stating, "But consider this, it was amazing how she started as an underdog here and then rose to prominence."
