‘Koffee With Karan 8’: Janhvi Kapoor Reveals Sister Khushi Kapoor Hated Most Of Her Exes
Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor recently appeared as guests on Karan Johar’s popular chat show ‘Koffee With Karan 8’.
‘Koffee With Karan’, hosted by ace filmmaker-producer Karan Johar, is one of the most-watched chat shows in India. The eighth season of ‘KWK’, which launched in October 2023, became a huge talking point on social media. The season premiere had Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone as guests. So far, we have seen some interesting pairings on the show, including Sunny and Bobby Deol, Ananya Panday and Sara Ali Khan, Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor, among many more. The recently-released episode featured Bollywood actresses and sisters Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor.
Janhvi and Khushi, daughters of late iconic actress Sridevi and film producer Boney Kapoor, brought an infectious energy to the talk show, making the episode truly delightful and entertaining watch. From spilling the beans about their romantic relationships to recalling fond memories of their mother Sridevi, the sisters got candid about their personal and professional lives on ‘Koffee With Karan 8’.
Janhvi Kapoor, who is rumoured to be dating Shikhar Pahariya, neither confirmed or denied the relationship rumours. Reportedly, the two dated several years ago as well. After breaking up, they were said to have gotten back together recently. Since then, they have been spotted together on multiple occasions and often comment on each other’s social media posts as well.
Host Karan Johar asked Janhvi Kapoor, “You have had an interesting path of love, you were dating Shikhar, and then you dated someone else and now you are dating Shikhar again. True or False?”
The Bollywood actress had an interesting answer to Karan Johar’s question. She said, “Have you heard that song, ‘Nadaan Parindey Ghar Aaja’? Shikhar used to sing that to me a lot.”
The ‘Bawaal’ actress continued, “I won’t say that, but I will say this, he is, not just for me, but for her (Khushi), for dad and everyone in our family, he has been there from the start as a friend.”
She added, “Not in a way that made me feel like he is expecting anything or he is a pushover or any of those things. He was just there in a very selfless dignified way, and in a way that I have not seen many men capable of being there for another human being.”
Karan Johar also questioned Janhvi Kapoor about her decision to not date actors. For the unversed, the Bollywood actress reportedly dated actor Kartik Aaryan before their falling out led to the cancellation of the film they were doing together at the time. The celebrity duo was spotted together in Goa in 2021.
Janhvi Kapoor also revealed on ‘KWK 8’ that Khushi Kapoor has hated all her boyfriends except one, and also added that she has only dated three boys.
When asked why she would ‘never’ date an actor, Janhvi Kapoor said, “I want someone to be obsessed with me. The thing is, you need someone to be okay with your… there needs to be a balance. You need someone who is okay to let you have your moment also but I find with actors that they get very competitive and they get very weird.”
The Bollywood actress continued, “There is always tension when there is an actor. I can’t deal with that tension because I like to be undyingly devoted and I expect that devotion and I think when you are in the same profession, it’s difficult, specifically this profession.”
Khushi Kapoor, who recently made her acting debut with Zoya Akhtar’s ‘The Archies’, is rumoured to be dating her co-star Vedang Raina. However, Khushi Kapoor denied the dating rumours and said that they are just “good friends”.
Meanwhile, Janhvi Kapoor is currently gearing up for the release of Sharan Sharma’s ‘Mr & Mrs Mahi’, wherein she will share screen space with Rajkummar Rao. She will also be seen in 'Devara' alongside Jr NTR and Saif Ali Khan.
While Khushi Kapoor didn’t impress netizens with her acting skills in ‘The Archies’, she has already bagged her next project. Reportedly, the budding actress will star alongside Ibrahim Khan in Karan Johar's next film. The movie will be directed by Shauna Gautam.
