He said stuff to this effect :<\/p>\n<p><em>Karan : What would you do if you woke up in the morning and found that you&#8217;d turned into Karan Johar ?<\/p>\n<p>SRK (laughs) : I think there is more of a probablility that I&#8217;d actually wake up with you, rather than as you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>That must have woken up the aunties watching the show! Kajol collapses into giggles. Rani, shakes her head &#8211; like what&#8217;s gotten into him. Karan is vastly amused. Guess who the Koffee Hamper went to.<\/p>\n<p>And then :<\/p>\n<p><em>Karan (to Rani) : What would you do if there were the 3 of you stranded on a plane (which was going down) and there were only 2 parachutes ?<\/p>\n<p>Rani (demurely) : I&#8217;d give Kajol and SRK the parachutes.<\/p>\n<p>SRK (affectedly macho) : What&#8217;s the problem ? You two (gestures at Rani and Kajol) chipko (stick to me) to me, and I&#8217;ll jump with the parachutes.<br \/><\/em><br \/>Both the girls retort back in the who-do-you-think-you-are fashion. Much good-natured shoving going on at this point.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/amodini\/388572114\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/162\/388572114_d0f73d48e4_o.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"120\" alt=\"kwk2\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"10\" \/> <\/a>SRK was quite in his element; I&#8217;d imagine if he&#8217;s actually like this, he must have considerable trouble holding down the comments in KBC. With all the repartees flying around, it was more like a gaggle of good old friends rather than a TV show. And while this might be fun for them (as I&#8217;m sure it was), it&#8217;s not much fun for the viewer &#8211; we&#8217;ve seen it before. Kajol comes across as sharp and peppy, and by contrast Rani appears drab and oh-so-politically correct. So not fun. Karan was his usual, catty self, but SRK seems to have up-staged him for once. The set seemed unchanged (even the flooring seemed familiar), the music&#8217;s unchanged, they still sign the same old cups, there were much the same digs at Mallika sherawat, and this time at Rakhi Sawant too.<\/p>\n<p>This was the first show, and SRK saved it. But let&#8217;s face it, not everyone else has his sense of humor.
