The episode started with Karan Johar giving a standing ovation to Sunny Deol for achieving such a historic success. While discussing the success of 'Gadar 2', Sunny also disclosed that the movie's release date coincided with the release of 'OMG 2'. He even approached Akshay Kumar, requesting him to consider adjusting the dates to ensure his movie had a chance for a proper theatrical screening.
Bobby went through a tough phase in his journey, doubting himself and wasting time on unproductive pursuits. However, his son's questions end up being the push that he needed to find his passion once more. He also openly admitted facing early hurdles, like trying to work with Karan, who, unfortunately, couldn't offer him any opportunities.
Karan discussed nepotism and asked about their experiences. Sunny Deol emphasised the importance of parents providing for their children, highlighting the individual journeys in the film industry. He mentioned his own 22-year journey to success, questioning the effectiveness of nepotism.
The highlight of the show was when his son revealed that Sunny Deol loves to collect teddy bears wherever he goes. He has even organized all the teddy bears at home. Sunny added that he even keeps them in his car because he loves soft toys. Who would have thought that a 'Dhai Kilo Ka Haath' would be so fascinated by toys?
Sunny Deol shared his views on fellow actors, praising Shah Rukh Khan's work ethic but critiquing the commodification of actors. He commended Akshay Kumar's discipline but expressed concern about his high film output. Sunny admired Salman Khan's generosity but disliked his emphasis on bodybuilding for everyone.
The episode was not the best one, but it was a good watch, especially to see the Deol brothers on the show and how beautifully their family bond is portrayed. It also highlighted the struggles they faced to come this far.
This year, 'Koffee with Karan' is emanating a different vibe, as if it's trying to distance itself from controversy and focus more on the guests rather than gossip. This shift may be perceived as a bit dull by some, as the show is known for its witty banter and playful digs at one another.
