After sharing the frame in David Dhawan's Partner, Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif are back together in this week's episode of Koffee With Karan.
The gorgeous women talk about a lot of things ranging from Lara's recent movies, to Katrina's admission that she is not in talking terms with Bipasha Basu, and of course, Salman Khan.
Here's a sneak preview of the show:
Karan Johar: Last time, we had such a fun time with you (Lara) and Bipasha. Did I get you into trouble?
Lara: Yes, tremendously! It has taken me a whole year to undo all the problems I caused myself.
Karan: You are looking absolutely stunning. Why do I feel you are suddenly raring to go?
Lara: Because I probably am! It's taken me about three and a half years to find my footing in the industry, to find out what I like doing, the kind of cinema that I like being part of, the kind of people that I like doing work with. I think once you have that in place, you start feeling more confident about yourself.
Karan: Well, Katrina, you have been very diplomatic. I have been doing some research, looking through your interviews, trying to look for something sensational.
Katrina: Nothing na...
Karan: Nothing. Why are you like this? You are young, beautiful... you have to say rude and nasty things once in a while. Come on, say something! Think of something rude to say.
Katrina: I think it is probably because I came here at a later stage. Most people grew up here. I think there is a certain reservation about going ahead and criticising people who have grown up here and been here all their life. Let, maybe three or four years pass and I will get really over-confident and then start...
Karan: Start making headlines. Suddenly, we will see very dramatic answers.Katrina: Ya!
Karan: What both of you had strangely in common was... Lara, though you are a hard core Punjabi, you had this whole western image. Everyone thought that Lara Dutta is very westernised. But of course, you are a true Indian girl with the Punjabi background. But that never came to the fore till very recently.
Lara: But, you know, I tried to get out of the stereotype from the very first film. When I did Andaz, I did it with as hard core a Hindi film director you can get, Raj Kanwar. And the character that I played was very Punjabi. I did that with No Entry, where I played a suspicious Indian housewife. These are the roles that have been appreciated.
Karan: And you have had to combat that as well Katrina because everyone said (you are) Anglo-sized, westernised. Now, you dub your own films.
Katrina: Ya. I think, initially, it was a nice way of putting it. When it comes to modelling, it's easy. People just accept you. But in films, there is a lot of...
Lara: But, I have to say, having worked with Katrina in Partner, she gives you this huge complex. I think she is really hard working. I think she is really dedicated, she knows this is where she wants to be, and she is going to go all out to get it. And I really admire that.
