Koffee With Karan 8: Love, Box Office Duds & Cinema, Aditya Roy Kapur-Arjun Kapoor Bare It All

Keeping the constant overlapping aside, it's safe to say that the most recent Koffee With Karan 8 episode, which starred Aditya Roy Kapur (read Roy As Joy) and Arjun Kapoor, was incredibly energetic on both ends.

The two talked about a multitude of topics, ranging from their dating experiences to their thoughts on box office flops.

Here are the top 4 moments from the episode:

1. Aditya Roy Kapur Talks About His Relationship With Ananya Panday

Karan Johar asked, ¡°So rumor has it and I asked her as well that you are dating Ananya Panday.¡± Aditya Roy Kapur said, ¡°You see Karan you said on your show ¡®Ask me no secrets and I¡¯ll tell you no lies.¡±

Karan Johar then asked, ¡°But she said that she is very Ananya ¡®Coy¡¯ Kapoor.¡± Aditya replied, ¡°And I am Aditya ¡®Joy¡¯ Kapoor as of now¡± Karan Johar asked, ¡°Yes, you mean you are joyously in a situationship¡±

Aditya Roy went on to say, ¡°Yes I am quite joyous¡± Not giving up, Karan Johar said, ¡°You are quite joyous. So the first word that comes to your mind when I say Ananya is Joy¡± Aditya replied, ¡°Yes, Pure Joy, bliss¡±

While he tried to be very subtle with it, it looks like an indirect confirmation.

2. Is Marriage On Cards For Arjun Kapoor And Malaika Arora?

Arjun was questioned by host Karan Johar if he and Malaika are planning to get married soon.

To this Arjun said, ¡°I think at this point, and as much as I love coming on your show and being as honest and sincere about it, I think this is the part of my life that right now I want to take it as it comes,¡± Arjun told Karan. ¡°I think it¡¯s unfair to be sitting here without her and talking about the future. I think that would be the most respectful thing. Once we reach that stage, we will come and talk about it together. I¡¯m very very happy where I am and I think we make no bones about the fact that we survived through whatever we¡¯ve had to be in this comfortable happy space.¡±

3. Karan Johar Addressed Deepika-Ranveer Being Trolled

While talking about the backlash after the episode featuring Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, Karan Johar said that he was angered by what people on the internet had to say. He felt that it was the best episode on the show this season and even showed the ¡®middle-finger¡¯ to the trolls.

4. Arjun Kapoor Opens Up On Dealing With Box Office Failures

Arjun and host Karan Johar discussed the box office failures and how they navigated their way through it.

Talking about the same, KJo said, ¡°We all have public perceptions, we all have Instagram that shows a part of our personality that may or may not be accurate at times, but we are also combating box office pressures, industry dynamics.¡±

¡°Fubu, I'm gonna ask you sometimes when box offices have evaded you. What is the way and I always know that you have been upbeat and have a sense of humor which I think is there that in the face of failure you can laugh at yourself. How do you deal with it,¡± asked the filmmaker.

Opening up about it, Arjun said, ¡°There is so much adversity I have faced in my life ya Karan, I think I have spoken on this couch before about many aspects of my life.¡±

¡°I am the first actor in my generation to deliver a 100 crore film, with Dharma and Sajid Nadiadwala that was ¡®2 States¡¯. I have seen the high, I have done a film like ¡®Ki & Ka¡¯ that did well, where I was a house husband, I have done all kinds of work, I have worked with so many people. I mean Akshay Kumar has spoken so openly about the fact that he almost considered leaving the profession at one point of time, 11-12 flops I think he has seen,¡± shared Arjun.

He continued saying, ¡°When you look at Saif¡¯s career, till ¡®Dil Chahta Hai¡¯ didn¡¯t happen, he was on a different trajectory. If my audience has loved me and connected with me because of the work that I did, they are not going to disconnect if I give them a good film.¡±
