The latest duo to make it to the Koffee couch on Koffee With Karan are Aditya Roy Kapur and Sidharth Malhotra. While the two tried to weasel out of Karan’s incessant attempts to get some juicy gossip out of them, Aditya and Sid did share a few candid moments. Both spoke about dealing with failure, whether personally or professionally. Aditya confessed that he was upset when Ok Jaanu flopped and Sidharth finally spoke out about his breakup with his Student of the Year co-star Alia Bhatt.
Aditya Roy Kapur admitted that the failure of his 2017 film OK Jaanu got to him, especially considering it meant two consecutive flops.
He said that his way of coping with professional failures is to cut himself off from everyone while he processed what had happened. However, he made it clear that he didn’t like to wallow in his misery. “It’s a precarious profession. If you’re going to let everyone get to you, you’re going to have to find a better way of dealing with it,” he said.
When asked about his relationship with Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra told Karan that the two hadn’t really met since they broke up. “It’s civil,” he said. The two made their debut in 2012’s Student of the Year which was produced by Karan.
“I’ve given my first shot with her. There’s so much history,” he said. While Alia is currently dating Ranbir Kapoor, Sid too has moved on.
