She peps up the show with her feisty spirit and frank responses. It’s wonderful to see the otherwise demure Sussanne Roshan not just hold her own but overshadow her star husband Hrithik Roshan on Karan Johar’s show. The first 10 minutes almost put you to sleep as Karan grilled Hrithik on the reason behind Guzarish’s failure. Had he asked him directly, maybe it wouldn’t have been as agonizing but Karan being Karan had to go about in a round about manner and talk about good cinema versus commercial cinema and Hrithik had to talk about how much love he received for his performance, so the failure didn’t matter. But this kind of sychophancy only happens with the big stars. A small time actor, would not make it to KJo’s show nor would the filmi fraternity be as kind to him. Hrithik himself looked like he was about to fall asleep till his charming wife entered the picture and pepped up the show. Full brownie points to her cos’ her humour ensured that Hrithik woke up from his slumber and made some effort to sound interesting. Of course, his wife very sweetly put him in his place by admitting that he had women hitting on him all the time and if she had turned into Hrithik Roshan for a day, she would have had a blast having a scene with all the gorgeous women. Wow, that was a really honest confession which stumped Hrithik and made him sound foolish with his politically correct responses.
But you can’t expect too much honesty in this chat show as everything is glossed over and it’s a happy world. So, while Kareena and Barbara are brought up in the rapid fire round, there is no reference to Hrithik’s alleged affairs with the ladies that almost broke up his marriage. On Koffee with Karan, everything is hunky dory, though Sussanne did admit that while she loves Kareena, she would go back to sleep if she was transformed into her one morning. And yes, she gave her hubby ‘the’ look when he mentioned that Barbara was his hottest co-star. And Hrithik looked taken aback when Sussanne admitted that she would plant a kiss on SRK’s lips if she had turned into Gauri Khan. But on seeing her hubby’s flustered look she quickly added that she would only be able to do that as Gauri Khan. Smart girl we say.
Yes, the couple admitted to fighting over ‘silly’ things and that Sussanne broke into ‘laughter’ during a fight, which even the diplomatic Karan found ‘very strange’. But we are not surprised, after all this couple has always been good at projecting the right image outside their home and are certainly not going to wash their dirty linen in public.
