Karan Johar once asked Abhishek Bachchan if he was torn between Jaya Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, his reply was...
In a memorable episode of Koffee With Karan, host Karan Johar posed a playful yet probing question to Abhishek Bachchan: Did he ever feel caught between the three significant women in his life, his mother, his sister, and his wife? The inquiry, delivered with Johar's characteristic flair, elicited a moment of levity and introspection, to which Aishwarya, seated beside Abhishek, responded with a witty remark, highlighting the unique dynamics of familial relationships.
The actress, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, replied in fast pace and said, 'Only time the wife would be called the other woman as you said it,' turning the conversation into a light-hearted exchange. Abhishek, acknowledging the strength and harmony among the women in his life, credited them for maintaining balance within the family. He noted that his mother and wife share a close bond, often discussing everything together, which has been instrumental in fostering a supportive household. Abhishek said, 'I think credit has to be given entirely to the girls. I have very little to do with it. What also works is that Maa and she (Aishwarya) are very close. They talk about everything. When a woman first comes to her husband's house, she feels a bit out of place, evidently and obviously. I think the only person who can truly fill that void is her mother-in-law.'

Kajol's Savage ‘Brain Surgeon' Clapback To Karan Johar's Rekha Comment video
Before the beginning of the show, Karan Johar asks Kajol to put her hair behind her. He commented, comparing her style with Rekha's. Bollywood actress Kajol turned 51 on August 5, but it seems wishes don't cease to pour on her. Several throwback pictures and videos are constantly making her fans go into complete nostalgia. Recently, a video making the rounds on the internet shows the diva in her young age, engaging in a playful exchange of words with her friend and director, Karan Johar. The video was captured from the sets of Simi Garewal's popular talk show, Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, when one of the episodes was graced by Kajol and Karan Johar. In a casual moment before the beginning of the show, the filmmaker asks his actress-cum-close friend to put her hair behind her. He even makes a notable comment comparing Kajol and Rekha's style. Karan Johar And Kajol's Undeniable Chemistry Karan Johar playfully asked Kajol, 'Put your hair behind, no? Why has it come in front? Why are you doing the Rekha look?" Host Simi, taken aback, responded, 'Doing what?" KJo clarified with a laugh, 'I said, why are you doing the Rekha?" Surprised by the comparison, Simi quipped back with a witty retort, 'Because of the mic, stupid. Idiot!" To this, the director then replies, 'I didn't know. But the mic is on that side. You're hiding that side?" Finally, Kajol in her signature tone, replies, 'So you don't want the hair to come on the mic, no, you brain surgeon. Can't believe you're a director." This made KJo end the conversation apologising for his misunderstanding, and didn't forget to clarify his tone on sarcasm. 'Oh, sorry, very sorry. TV is not my medium," he quipped. 'Happy birthday to Kajol, who didn't just fix the mic… she dropped it," read the caption alongside the video. Internet Remains Mesmerised By Kajol's Blunt Nature Reacting to the video, a social media user said, 'Only Kajol can reply this way to Karan, she is sooo cute." Another mentioned, 'Kajol unfiltered is the most hilarious thing." Someone added, 'LOVE her boldness + bluntness." 'Let him have it, girl!!!" said a person, while another social media user stated, 'LOL I'm laughing so hard at this." 'Even he's no less in talking, immediately he spat sarcasm .. TV is not my medium.. but later hosted coffee with Karan," read a comment. Someone on the internet even compared KJo with Orry, aka Orhan Awatramani, mentioning, 'Karan was the original Orry getting bullied by nepo-kids on IG reels." But for a fan, the two are 'True best friends." A person also complimented the diva's natural beauty, saying, 'She's always been extremely beautiful." Actress Ayushi Chhabra, known for her stint in Resident Evil, pointed towards Karan Johar's statement that 'TV is not my medium," and dropped a series of faces with tears of joy emojis. Echoing the same sentiment, a person commented, 'What time does and changes things. Wow."

When Kareena Kapoor Made A "Big Mistake" By Letting Go Of Priyanka Chopra's Aitraaz Character, Reveals Producer
New Delhi: Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra's rumoured cat-fight dominated the headlines back in the day. The root of this fight might be traced back to the shooting of the Abbas-Mustan film Aitraaz (2003), featuring Akshay Kumar in the lead. In a recent conversation with Bollywood Bubble, director-producer Suneel Darshan revealed Kareena could have taken the role of Priyanka in the film. What's Happening Suneel Darshan shared that Kareena did a "big mistake" by letting go of a character, which eventually shaped Priyanka's career. "There are times when actors miscalculate. At that time, a negative role was still viewed as something like a vamp. And the fact that Priyanka was cast alongside Amrish Puri as his wife, so it felt more like a Shashikala-type role. You know, like the ones Shashikala or Bindu used to play in older films. But with time, narratives change, and so do perspectives. And I thought to myself, my God, Bebo (Kareena) made such a big mistake," said Suneel Darshan. The producer-director believed that Kareena could have taken Priyanka's part as she was offered the film first. "But Bebo is Bebo. She always wanted to glide through everything easily. She lost out on that role because she chose not to do it. She picked the heroine's part opposite the hero. She could have taken Priyanka's role too, but she didn't," said Suneel Darshan. Praising Priyanka Chopra's courage to take up a grey character, Darshan said, "Priyanka was at a stage where she was on the rise. She was the go-getter. Whatever she wanted, she went after and got it. And that role justified something that wasn't considered normal, it made you believe in it." Kareena-Priyanka's Changing Dynamics Kareena and Priyanka Chopra kept the rumoured catfight alive by taking subtle and not-so-subtle digs at each other over the years. On various seasons of Koffee with Karan, both stars made sharp comments about each other. Interestingly, the two actresses shared a couch on Koffee with Karan in 2019 during its sixth season, where they showed a fresh new bond, laughing at their old comments. In a 2023 interview with Mid-Day, When asked directly if there was ever tension with Priyanka, Kareena responded, "Not at all! Rubbish. I was like, 'What is going on?'" In A Nutshell
