What an interesting episode!!!! Exactly what we have been asking for, Karan breaking out of the usual circuit of guests and being open to new topics and new considerations. Also, yes, a lot about Salman and Shahrukh, but from a different angle than usual.

(Badshah wrote the lyrics for this with a few other people, notice how nice they are? You sing them without the beat and it sounds like a lovely love song. These are people who need to be very good in Hindi to be able to do their jobs, not so much English)

Once Badshah and Diljit come out, Karan gives them the official introduction, saying he is excited to have two rockstars and pop stars on the show for the first time, and establishes them as nice simple boys from villages. These are the themes he will return to over and over again, that these are musicians not actors and stars, and that they are simple people from simple places. The two of which go together in modern India, since simple people from simple places can no longer find a place in the film industry.

The conversation starts easily and moves easily along, all in Hindi. It feels different in Hindi, like they are speaking more easily and more simply. And Karan is speaking more carefully, less able to jump in and leap on a particular word or turn of phrase. The guests can relax.

The one thing Karan is pushing them on, trying to open up something new about them in terms of romance. Not specific romance, just an acknowledgement that they interacted with women, like, at all. From the way they are dancing around, I am guessing it is more of a taboo for Punjabi stars and in the Punjabi celebrity world to acknowledge any interaction outside of appropriate marriage with a woman, than it is for Hindi stars. Not like anyone is flaunting the love outside of marriage in any industry, but at least it is accepted in the Hindi industry that a single man over 30 has probably dated.

Koffee shots time! This time with buttermilk. Which they both drink and enjoy, although for me that it was crosses the line to being a bit TOO Punjabi. I am sure they would be able to drink coffee like everyone else.

Which brings me to I wonder how he even decides the lineup? Is it all based on which of his friends will be willing to come? Or based on TRPs/ who the audience wants? Why do we hardly see any new guests on the show?

I really liked this episode too! Karan is working with both of them, and knows them well enough to come up with good games and stuff, and knows they get along well. I guess what makes it different is that they are musicians with a high enough profile that the audience would tune in. He could have just as easily had an episode with two directors, or scriptwriters, or any other behind the scenes artists he knows, but I guess no one would tune in for that. Well, I would! I would find that FASCINATING. But no one else.

This episode was super cute. Diljit, i have only seen him in Phillauri, and loved. Ah! It was so adorable to hear him answer every question with a witty slang. I found Badshah to be kind of arrogant.
His obsession with Kylie; I am hollering. May Kylie visit India someday and meet Diljit.

They were both super charming! I can see why Karan wanted them on the show, and I am so glad he let them speak Hindi so we could see their charm, instead of forcing them to struggle in English. I think Diljit has two Hindi films coming out next year, his thing with Kriti and Good News, so he is steadily making in roads. Good for him!
