And We Might Want to Thank Arbaaz Khan"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><span class=\"dropcap\">B<\/span>ack in 2010, when Karan Johar paired Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor on arguably the most-watched and dissected episode of <\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/koffee-with-karan-bollywood\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Koffee with Karan<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, he managed to encapsulate \u2013 and redefine \u2013 the allure of a celebrity talk show. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the time, <i>Koffee with Karan <\/i><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">had been on air for three seasons, having already welcomed a panoply of stars on its couch, from Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol to Amitabh Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor Khan. Sonam and Deepika, in contrast, weren\u2019t superstars then. Both had debuted the previous year in big-budget vehicles but were yet to carve their identities as popular actors whose inner lives garnered fervent attention. That didn\u2019t matter to Johar; he wasn\u2019t interested in them as much as he was fixated on the connection the two leading ladies \u2013 Ranbir Kapoor, of course. Sonam was a childhood friend and Deepika was just coming off a public <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/friendship-breaking-up-bffs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">breakup<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with the actor, which involved infidelity and an infamous neck tattoo.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 40-minute episode that followed, the two actresses ditched political correctness to offer a near-perfect testament to the guilty pleasure of an unfiltered celebrity chat show: They giggled their way while confirming Kapoor\u2019s cheating, advised him to use \u201ccondoms\u201d and called him out on his sub-par boyfriend skills. Basically, they spilled everything that would instantly be classified as a PR <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/france-belgium-world-cup-semi-final\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nightmare<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Yet the episode\u2019s immense watchability wasn\u2019t just limited to the coming together of two actresses who revealed a part of themselves on national television that most celebrities would do anything to shield. Instead, it was also an outcome of the show\u2019s high-profile host mastering the pulse of his audience: Karan Johar engineered their pairing <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">provoke. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the seasons since, Johar has frequently displayed this penchant for catching celebrities off-guard while feeding the collective curiosity we harbour about their day-to-day lives. It\u2019s probably why <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Koffee with Karan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, despite its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/why-kunal-kamras-bold-satire-stands-out-in-the-age-of-bollywoods-apolitical-stars\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">criticisms <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and frivolity, remains incessantly entertaining. An enjoyable chat show after all, is defined by two things: its ability to hold the audience\u2019s attention at face-value and a host who isn\u2019t just relevant, but also someone who dictates currency. And Karan Johar is both these things: He is pally with the stars, many of them are part of his inner circle, and he is in a position to mould their careers or brand them as \u201c the outsider\u201d(Case in point, Kangana Ranaut).<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arbaaz Khan, on the other hand, is neither. He is not someone you\u2019d call a successful actor, even though he\u2019s been at it since 1996. Khan, now 51, isn\u2019t exactly a youth icon whose Instagram merits follows either. And unlike <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/sushil-sanskari-non-toxic-bollywood-hero\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">R Madhavan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or Suniel Shetty, he hasn\u2019t even aged in a way that makes us grateful for the passage of time. At this point, Arbaaz Khan\u2019s relevancy is limited to intermittent mentions either for his famous surname or his infamous brother. Yet defeating all logic, Khan is also a celebrity talk show host in 2019. It gets objectively bizarre: The show, titled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pinch by Arbaaz Khan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stays true to expectations by opening with a theme song that goes \u201cPinch me, pinch me baby\u201d. Suddenly, Kareena Kapoor Khan willingly nicknaming herself \u201cKKK\u201d doesn\u2019t seem all that objectionable.<\/span>\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\">An enjoyable chat show after all, is defined by two things: its ability to hold the audience\u2019s attention at face-value and a host who isn\u2019t just relevant, but also someone who dictates currency.<\/blockquote>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 10-episode series that is essentially an unfunny, dragged out version of the voguish \u201cMean Tweets\u201d sketch format, opens with Khan delivering a sermon about the perils of social-media addiction. Every guest on the show \u2013 so far, it\u2019s been an eclectic mix of every actor who has already made an appearance on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Koffee with Karan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 is made to read and respond to a bunch of nasty comments on their social media profiles while Khan inexplicably keeps <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/olivia-colman-oscars-2019-best-actress-the-favourite\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">grinning<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s also accompanied by an unnecessary social- media quiz thrown in, where Khan asks questions that you\u2019ve heard before. Mostly on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KWK<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The impact of Khan\u2019s non-existent screen presence and the show\u2019s datedness is such that even if you fast-forward your way through all the episodes, you would have still not missed anything. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this point, celebrity talk shows rarely have new \u201crevelations\u201d to offer. Much before Karan Johar, Simi Garewal took up the baton of posing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/dating-discomfort-physical-intimacy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">uncomfortable <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">questions to celebrities and in between actors like Farhan Akhtar, Farah Khan, Priety Zinta, and Kareena Kapoor Khan have all tried their hands at playing host. Even then, chat shows in 2019 are like frozen yoghurt outlets in Bandra: You\u2019ll find a new one anywhere you look. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from Arbaaz Khan, there\u2019s Neha Dhupia, who hosts <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BFFs with Vogue<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a show that is essentially low-budget <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KWK<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For instance, if Johar pulled off the coup of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/sara-ali-khan-nepotism-koffee-with-karan-star-kids\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sara Ali Khan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s first public appearance, accompanied by her father, Saif Ali Khan, then Dhupia managed to get Jahnvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor together for the first time. Capping them off, is fashion-designer Anaita Shroff Adjania\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feet Up With The Stars<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, that is more of the same thing. And in case you were wondering, Karan Johar has been a guest on all of them.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, it was Johar hosting the most lukewarm season of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KWK<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that uncovered the one glaring disadvantage of the celebrity talk show: Its traditional format \u2013 dependent entirely on tired anecdotes \u2013 has rarely evolved past its stubborn structure. So much so that most episodes instantly tend to give out a feeling of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu \u2013 you\u2019ve most certainly seen Sara Ali Khan talk about her crush on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/luka-chuppi-review-kartik-aaryan-kriti-sanon\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kartik Aaryan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on two different chat shows, at least. It\u2019s why these shows are not only immensely forgettable \u2013 there are only so many times you can ask Kareena Kapoor about that obnoxious Taimur Ali Khan doll \u2013 but also mirror images of each other. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason why talk shows like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KWK <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">continued feeding off our inherent desire to know every single detail about celebrity life, was that they held the monopoly over being our middle-men to the stars. But at a time when actors are overeager to broadcast every part of their lives online, there remains very little reason to watch a show in the hope that they might just make a candid <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/break-up-confessions-relationships\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">confession<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s precisely what has triggered the celebrity talk show fatigue, that now resembles a PR endorsement for the stars, making us care even less about whether Khushi Kapoor would like to debut with Ahaan Pandey. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BFFs with Vogue<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> might be back with a third season and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feet Up with the Stars <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with a second, but all it took to kill our curiosity about the lives of the rich and popular was <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pinch by Arbaaz Khan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At a time when actors are overeager to broadcast every part of their lives online, there remains little reason to watch a celebrity chat show.
