Priyanka and Arjun on kofee with karan
March 25, 2005 Digging out the dirt: Karan Johar with guests Priyanka Chopra and Arjun Rampal in Koffee with Karan She’s known for her curves, charisma and controversies. And he is the ultimate eye candy for women. Host Karan Johar’s guests on tonight’s show are Priyanka Chopra and Arjun Rampal. The burning topic of discussion right now is the controversial casting couch and Priyanka and Arjun have their take on the issue. They also talk about their successes and failures, and Chopra’s current aitraaz of showing skin on screen. Here’s are some snippets. 

Karan: Suddenly, you have been slotted with Aishwarya Rai, Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor and Preity Zinta. You are an A-list, mainstream girl. How does it feel? Priyanka: It’s very flattering and I did not expect that. I don’t come from a filmi background, I don’t know people here, and it’s just been a year-and-a-half since I have been here. It feels great that the industry accepts you. Karan: You are affable and amiable. And you get along with all these girls, even with Kareena Kapoor who every girl seems to have a problem with. Priyanka: I got along really well with her. She is really nice. Karan: There is a new stand you are taking, no exposure suddenly? Priyanka: It’s a conscious decision. I don’t want to be known for exposure. Karan: Are you trying to say that the girls who show skin are not going to ever make it into the big league? Priyanka: No. I never said that. That’s how I started. It happened with me in the beginning. I did do an Andaaz. I did wear a bikini. It’s not something I can say I am ashamed of. But it is not something I want to do now. Karan: How many times recently have you refused kissing scenes in films? Priyanka: I have not done any one. Karan: Anyone you want to kiss on screen? Priyanka: No, those things I keep for privacy. Karan: Arjun, you have women going weak in the knees. Has your knees rattled? Priyanka: I don’t know how to be mean. I am not even going there. Karan: Good looking — you have heard that a lot. Has it ever frustrated you? Arjun: It’s got nothing to do with me. This is the way I am, they find me good looking and I make money. Karan: What happens when you have a string of flops? How does it bother you? Arjun: It does bother you. Because all you want to do is good films and I consciously do want to do it because I am very passionate about films and I want the films to work. I work on every film really hard. But I guess you just got to be strong. Mr Bachchan had 10 to 12 flops before he became Mr Bachchan, so there is a man who has rocked it even after so many flops and disasters and is a great example. Karan: You have been from the modelling world, where they say there is a casting couch even for men. Have you been subjected to it? Arjun: (Laughs). I don’t know. I have not seen it. I have not experienced it. It is not the people from the fraternity but people from outside. There are gay people in the fashion industry there is nothing wrong in being gay. Karan: Have you felt the vibe around you ever? Priyanka: When it comes to the casting couch, no. I have never had to go through it or been even offered or felt the vibe of it because when I came into the industry I was already Miss World. And before that Miss India just happened so the media knowing who I was. Karan: Arjun you are happlily married to a beautiful woman. But how do you stop yourself? So many beautiful women like Priyanka surround you. Lara, Sushmita and Aishwarya. You are a man at the end of the day… Arjun: As you said, I have a beautiful woman at home. I don’t feel the urge to go for anything else. Karan: Rang De Basanti didn’t work out; any problem with Aamir? Arjun: I had a problem with the director. I was signed for the film; I had got a new look for the film, blocked my dates and that’s why I am sitting on your show today (Laughs). But I think it just became very confusing as the director was very confused about it, and fair enough, I think I am happier it didn’t work out. 

Karan: Priyanka, there is so much talk about the alleged romance with Akshay Kumar. Priyanka: I am honestly tired of it because there is enough that’s been said. Karan: Does it upset your working relationship? Priyanka: Of course it does. I just seem to be crowned as the controversy queen and I detest it. I just want to be known for my work. I have my family. He has his. Just let it be… people
