Last Sunday, we were greeted by another not-so-rare episode of Koffee With Karan with Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan. Though we’ve seen the actors before on the same couch, season after season, dodge the same personal questions, while Karan pretends to dig deep to find some dirt on them. In other words, it’s Ekta Kapoor’s K-serials – with better acting probably.

So this Sunday was no different, except it threw a different light on Bollywood’s Pataka Kudi, which made her shine away.

The talk show, umm sorry, the over-driven promotional show began with its usual tactics of talking highly about their upcoming film Badrinath Ki Dulhania and Karan weaved his questions around it. Yawn!

Till Varun Dhawan let lose a secret about his dimple-cheeked co-star that she cries. Not just once-in-a-while kind of rona but A LOT of it. So on national television, we saw a very ‘hangry’ Alia, who cried over a menu that had only cheeseballs. It did look funny, but it also made us realise that it could easily be one of us. We’ve all been there, where we’ve lost our shit when we did not get to eat what we wished for. Thank you Alia, for making this so real.

Amidst the bickering and pillow throwing, the students showered their love upon their karta-dharta Karan Johar – The Bollywood principal, who enrolled them in the gurukul of acting. Just like Ekalavya, Alia, too, proclaimed that she’ll cut her thumb (go to jail) for Dronacharya (Karan).

But it wasn’t this ‘d(h)ramatic’ declaration that took us by surprise but rather her honest and indirect confession about her alleged beau Sidharth Malhotra. The shy actor decided to play with words when she answered the usual KJo relationship status question with an unusual response – that she has found more than what she was looking for in terms of love. Now the earlier Alia would have probably left the question unanswered or say what all celebs say, ‘ umm #NoComments’ . But this Alia decided to be honest with her feelings. Maybe a little too honest as she shuddered at the thought of going on a double date with Varun and Natasha.

Keeping her pyaarwali feelings aside, the girl really stepped up (or rather put her foot down) and took control over the situation when Varun trash-talked Alia, not just after winning the rapid fire but also in the seven-second game.

Even though our very own Pataka Kudi was bursting with anger, she made sure Varun regretted what he said and demanded an apology from the actor on the show. She might be a ‘fattu’ when it comes to putting her point forward but she’s no pushover.

And don’t forget, the girl can roast you for your lack of political awareness. Sorry guys, dumbness is no longer a thing for Alia. She might be weak in her general knowledge but at least her political knowledge is far better than Varun (couldn’t name three current Chief Ministers) and Priyanka Chopra (failed to name three Prime Ministers of India). So back off, the tables have turned and Alia has risen like a phoenix from the ashes!
