Koffee With Deepika, Alia and the ‘elephant in the room’

TIL Desk Bollywood/ The new season of “Koffee With Karan” kickstarted, rather ‘quip-started’ with plenty of girl giggles and nymph nudges to whet the viewers appetite. Sadly, at the end of the wildly conversational carousal, I knew nothing about Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar that I didn’t already know. Or nothing that I wanted to know.

Except that Karan Johar has private Whatsapp conversations with Deepika’s fiance Ranveer Singh, which from what we gathered from the secret smiles, was proof of a secret crush that Karan harbours for Ranveer. Well, good for them.

What happens to that crush after Ranveer weds Deepika? We weren’t told. In fact, we weren’t even told about the Ranveer-Deepika wedding which, coincidentally, was announced hours before Deepika came in the inaugural episode of the new season of “Koffee With Karan”. Deepika flatly denied any immediate marriage plans. Alia seemed willing to marry her man any time he wanted.
