Koffee With Karan 8: In the recent episode of 'Koffee With Karan Season 8,' Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Panday, who share a close friendship, took center stage as guests. The two actresses candidly discussed various aspects of their lives, including relationships, professional journeys, and navigating through failures. Also, it might be surprising to know that actress Kareena Kapoor Khan and filmmaker Karan Johar had a huge fight, earlier. There was a period when the two friends had a falling out, and they didn't speak to each other for more than nine months.

Ananya Panday dating Aditya Roy Kapoor

It seems like Ananya Panday and Aditya Roy Kapur might be more than just friends, according to subtle hints dropped by the former. Although Ananya didn't explicitly confirm the relationship, her responses during a conversation with Karan Johar on the topic strongly suggested a romantic connection. Sara also hinted at their relationship.

When asked if she was in the "friend zone" with Aditya Roy Kapur, Ananya tried to dodge the question, "We're friends," but Karan continued by saying, “Pyaar dosti hai.” Ananya then added, “Best friends, we are really good friends." Their playful exchange fuelled speculation about a deeper connection between them.

KJo's relationship with Kareena Kapoor

The filmmaker-host opened up about his past conflicts with Kareena and Kajol. He revealed a rift with the Laal Singh Chaddha actress over the movie Kal Ho Na Ho, leading to a period of silence until Karan's father was diagnosed with cancer. Despite the disagreements, Kareena showed her support during the tough times, and their friendship eventually mended. KJo reminisced about his initial resolve to never speak to Kareena again during their fight.

Karan shared, "One was with Kareena way back in 2003, we didn’t speak for a year and half. It was over a film, it was over Kal Ho Na Ho and it was only when my father was diagnosed with cancer that actually she called me, she was silent, I was silent. She was like I don’t know what to say, I said, don’t say anything, I know you are there."

"When he passed away, she was in Bangkok, we still had not mended, the point she landed from her shoot, she came home. We spent all night just chatting. We went back to where we were. When we fought, I said I am never going to speak with her again. It happened years later, with Kajol, which was also like such an emotional bond. We felt we would never be together, both landed up," he added.

Other than this, in his autobiography 'An Unsuitable Boy', Karan revealed, "Kareena and I didn't speak to each other for almost a year. For a year, we looked through each other at parties. It was very idiotic. She was a kid, she's a decade younger than me." Also, Karan had approached Kareena for his film Kal Ho Naa Ho before casting Preity Zinta to essay the role of Naina Catherine Kapur. However the duo brought an end to their ugly fight after Karan announced the birth of Kareena and Saif's son Taimur Ali Khan on his social media account, back in 2016.

"My first problem was with Kareena. She asked for too much money and we had some kind of a fallout at that time. Mujhse Dosti Karoge! had just released, directed by Kunal Kohli. She said, Aditya Chopra’s assistant Kunal Kohli has made this flop, so Karan Johar’s assistant, Nikhil Advani is not to be trusted either. The weekend of Mujhse Dosti Karoge’s release, I offered her Kal Ho Naa Ho, and she asked for the same (amount of) money that Shah Rukh Khan was getting. I said, ‘Sorry’. I was very hurt. I told my father, ‘Leave that negotiation room’ and I called her. She didn’t take my call, and I said, ‘We’re not taking her.’ And signed Preity Zinta instead," KJo revealed in autobiography.
