The most recent guests on Season 7 of Koffee with Karan, a contentious talk show hosted by Karan Johar, were Gauri Khan, Maheep Kapoor, and Bhavna Panday. The ladies who featured in the reality series The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, spoke candidly regarding their private and professional lives amid much laughter.
Gauri returned to the couch after 17 years, and throughout the show, Karan questioned her about her experiences as a businesswoman, being a superstar's wife and the baggage along with it and also touched on a very sensitive topic of the recent arrest and eventual release from jail of her son Aryan Khan in connection with the drugs-on-cruise case.
For the unversed, the Mumbai Police detained Aryan Khan on the grounds that he may have had drugs on board a cruise ship in Mumbai. He was detained for a few weeks before being eventually freed on bail due to a lack of proof.
KJo asked his good friend Gauri, ¡°Especially since it¡¯s been such a tough time for him not just professionally but recently with everything the family went through personally. You all have emerged so strongly. As a family. I know it hasn't been easy. It hasn't been easy but Gauri I've seen you come out even stronger.¡±
Gauri Khan said, ¡°Yes, as a family, we've been through. I think nothing can be worse than what we've just been through, obviously, as a mother, as a parent. But today where we stand as a family, I can say that we are in a great space where we feel loved by everyone. And all our friends, and so many people who we did not know. So many messages and so much love and I just feel blessed. And I would say I'm grateful to all the people who have helped us through this.¡±
On a lighter note, Gauri was asked who among her children does she consider "Fashion Police" during the rapid fire round. To which the designer replied, ¡°¡®Aryan¡¯ I am not allowed to wear full sleeve shirts. I am not allowed to wear many things. He doesn¡¯t like jackets on me.¡±
Maheep Kapoor and Bhavana Pandey made their debuts on the show. The three women blow the beans on airport looks and Bollywood parties with all the characteristics of candour, comedy, and wit.
Maheep Kapoor spoke candidly on the most recent episode about the challenging times she and her family endured while Sanjay Kapoor was unemployed for a number of years. And Bhavna remarked that marrying Chunky Pandey, a sizeable leading man of his time was a wonderful surprise. Both spouses concur that they witnessed the dark side of the business while their husbands weren't working or weren't playing the main characters.
