Simi Garewal had a special guest on her show Simi Selects India's Most Desirable, and this time it was another talk show host, filmmaker Karan Johar. The shoot took place at Film City recently.
Says Simi, "You can imagine what happens when two chat show hosts get together. The conversation would just not end.
Ten years ago, I had Karan and Kajol as guests on my earlier show. Later, Karan launched his own talk show. People perceive us as rivals, but there is nothing like that.
In fact, I was Karan's inspiration to host the show on the same channel."
The KJo episode, which will be telecast September end, has the director-producer groove to Sheila Ki Jawani and Munni Badnam Hui. "Karan is an amazing dancer.
He has got that rhythm in him. People will be shocked to see his jhatkas. He grooved to the item numbers to the hilt and bought the house down, " informs Simi.
The real person
According to her, Karan has been very honest on the show.
"People will get to see the real Karan. His mother (Hiroo Johar) has stated that people think that he is always the laughing, joking person. But that is a fa ade. The real Karan is far from this."
On asked about the constant whispers about his sexual orientation, he apparently said, "I really don't care what people say. Whether homosexual, metrosexual, hetrosexual or whatever, it does not affect me."
Adds Simi, "He counts Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan as his closest friends. He has a lot of respect for Gauri.
He has also mentioned that in his relationships he always maintains a subservient role. And people whom he thinks he can't get, he gets easily attracted to."
