Kareena Kapoor and Alia Bhatt were the latest guests on Karan Johar’s Koffee with Karan and the host tried his best to make the episode as controversial as possible. At one point during the episode, Karan brought Kareena’s decades-old rivalry with Ameesha Patel which started when Bebo stepped out of her intended debut film Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, which landed in Ameesha’s lap. Ameesha recently had the biggest success of her career with Gadar 2 and following the success of the film, Sunny Deol threw a grand party to celebrate the film. While the party saw the likes of Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan in attendance, Kareena was a no-show.

Karan pointedly asked Kareena why she didn’t attend the party and while she tried to get away by saying that she wasn’t in town, he came back by saying, “That’s a lie. I know you were in town.” Karan tried to get more out of Bebo as he asked her about her “history” with Ameesha, and to this too, Kareena went on to give a diplomatic answer. “The only history I know is that her movie has created history,” she said.

Talking about the time when Ameesha landed Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai after she left the film, Kareena said, “I think films are destiny and everyone went on to do their best.” Calling this Kareena’s “Oscar speech”, the director implied that she was being way too diplomatic. When asked if Kareena even congratulated Sunny or Ameesha on the success of their film, Kareena said that she hadn’t and said, “But I think it’s fabulous and I can congratulate them now, here.”

When Kareena asked Karan if he was there, and he replied in positive, she quipped, “Aap toh har party mein jaate ho (you go to every party).” Alia commented, “She’s trolling you”. When Karan kept on asking the same question and insisted Kareena was in Mumbai at that time, she asked, “Are you a troll?”

Recently, after the success of Gadar 2, Ameesha spoke about their feud and said that Kareena did not quit Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai but was asked by director Rakesh Roshan to leave as they were “having differences.” She also addressed Kareena’s comments from the time where the actor had said that she would have done a better job than Ameesha in the film. “Kareena made a statement that if she’d done Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, she would’ve done a better job of it than I had. And she said that she would’ve stolen the limelight from Hrithik or something like that. And I also said, ‘Maybe. Maybe she would have, maybe she wouldn’t have’. The bottom line is that Sonia was me, I did justice to the character, the film was a hit. Nobody can run away from this reality. What I could’ve done replacing other girls in other films I don’t know. Maybe I would’ve done them worse, maybe I would’ve done them better,” she told Siddharth Kannan.
