She
pioneered natural acting in mainstream films…
She played her own rules and went on to
become the most respected actor in Indian
cinema. She's a successful wife, mother,
politician and the first lady of the Indian
film fraternity. Karan's first guest this
week is none other than Jaya Bachchan. His
second guest is one of the most beautiful
women in the country and in the world. She
was a reigning woman in the movies and continues
to dominate our hearts. She is the most
gorgeous and stunning Member of Parliament-
Hema Malini. Also joining them are their
daughters, Shweta Nanda and Esha Deol.

From reliving old memories to clearing
misunderstandings… from discussing arguments
in parliament to talking about tiffs with
their daughters, Jaya Bachchan and Hema
Malini have a great time on the show! Jaya
talks about being a support system to her
husband and now… to her son. For the first
time ever, watch her talk about her daughter-in-law-to-be
and how thrilled she is that Aishwarya is
going to be a part of the family very soon.
Hema and Jaya reminisce times spent on the
sets of Sholay and how they strongly feel
that the film should not be re-made! They
also jokingly complain to Karan how Bollywood
doesn't offer challenging roles to older
actresses, and how he should change that!
Their daughters join them on the show and
add to the fun by discussing their relationship
with their mothers, marriage and their careers!
And just when the Q&A wraps up, the
fun doubles with the fiery rapid fire round!
Would Hemaji like to play Mausi in Ram Gopal
Verma's Sholay? Which actress needs a change
of PR agency according to her? Who needs
a wardrobe makeover according to Hemaji
and Esha? Would Esha be allowed to participate
in Big Brother? What does Abhishek Bachchan
have that his dad doesn't, according to
Jayaji and Shweta? What would be the perfect
star-cast of Abhimaan out of the current
lot of actors? One piece of marriage advice
Jayaji would give Ash and Abhishek? Does
she prefer her husband playing Jai or Gabbar?
Who wins the most desired possession on
the show - the coffee hamper! Karan makes
it tougher this time to qualify for the
hamper, with the mother-daughter compatibility
test! Do the mothers and daughters really
know each other well enough? Who takes the
hamper home? Find out on this Sunday's episode
of Koffee with Karan…
Excerpts from the
interview:
Karan:
So both of you'll besides being members
of parliament have one big thing in common
and that is "Sholay" and that's
something, which is so topical that it's
wonderful to talk about at any point of
time actually! Anything you remember? What
was your experience on the sets of Sholay?
Jaya:
You know we used to drop in and say hello!
There was nothing like, "Oh my God!
What's she doing?" or anything like
that! You know it was very different.
Karan:
What's also strange is the husband-wife
combinations were the main leads and they
went on to become.. It's quite something
actually…
Jaya:
I should have played Basanti!
Karan: You
should have played Basanti?
Jaya:
Because I loved Dharmendra (Laughs) You
know when I saw him for the first time and
I was introduced to him.. there was a sofa
like this… I went and hid behind it
Karan: Why?
Jaya: I
was so nervous! I didn't know what to do.
There was this fantastic looking man. I
still remember what he was wearing- white
trousers and a white shirt and he looked
like a Greek God!
Karan: That
everyone says… Hemaji said the same thing
when she first laid eyes on him!
Jaya:
Poor you! You are stuck because of that!
(Laughs)
Hema: Yeah!
I am stuck because of that! (Laughs) I saw
him at a premiere and I was just shocked!
Karan:
He had that impact on women!
Hema:
Of course he has!
Karan:
And he still does!
Hema: Yes!
He has still…
Karan:
How sweet!
Karan: Shweta,
do you think that the men take prominence
in the house?
Shweta:
Yes! They're attention seekers!
Jaya:
The biggest baby takes the most attention.
Karan: Which
is your son?
Jaya:
No!
Karan:
Oh! Your husband!
Jaya and Shweta:
Yes!
Karan:
Do you think he's the biggest baby?
Jaya and Shweta:
Yes!
Jaya:
Completely!
Karan:
You never miss the glamour and the glitter?
Shweta:
Actually it's very easy for me because I
get all the perks but none of the responsibilities.
Karan: Really?
Shweta:
Yeah! I can live the most semi-normal life
unlike all of them and then I enjoy the
fun things like coming on your show!(Laughs)
Karan: Esha,
are you close to mom? Do you tell her about
your relationships, about boyfriends? Are
you'll like buddies?
Esha:
Yeah Yeah! Completely!
Jaya:
Liar!
Esha: What
liar?(Laughs)
Karan:
So you know everything that's happening?
Hema:
Both the girls.. whatever's happening..
they tell me!
Karan: Do
you get shocked sometimes when they come
and tell you details?
Esha: We
don't get into that many details!
Hema: I
told them from the beginning… whatever's
happening, come and tell me! I don't want
to hear it from out you know!
Karan:
And read in the magazines! Sometimes
do you hide articles? Like sometimes people
write all kinds of rubbish…
Esha:
No! But right now, no ones writing any kind
of rubbish about me also.. it's so boring!
Karan: They're
not even writing any rubbish!
