Did Karan Johar Remove Mira Rajput Calling Him Out For Not Mentioning Shahid Kapoor In The Best Actors List On Koffee With Karan? Redditors Agree!

Another contentious 'Koffee With Karan' clip. Bollywood stars and the presenter find the show to be a Pandora's box. Mira Rajput, Shahid Kapoor's wife, called out the director for his partiality in this footage.

The programme featured Mira and Shahid. She interviewed Karan Johar in a hilarious segment. Mira sent Karan Johar her list of actors to rate.

Ranbir, Ranveer, Sidharth Malhotra, Arjun, and Aditya Roy Kapur were on the list. The 'Kabir Singh' actor went to Mira and questioned, “Why am I not on that list?” to which, Mira took a sly dig at Karan Johar and trolled him for never taking Shahid’s name in any of the lists. She said, “Because he never asks, he never mentions you in any of his lists.”

This unexpected trolling astonished Karan Johar. Shahid blinked, seeming uncomfortable. The video is becoming viral online, and some people say Karan deleted it off the broadcast after receiving criticism.

Redditors reacted strongly to this video. The video description said, “Apparently Karan removed this bit from the episode. I watched the episode on Hotstar and they edited this out. Why do you think Karan excludes Shahid?”

“Because Karan wants to spread the best actor Ranbir and best actress Alia narrative. After performances like Haider and Udta Punjab, most people would rank Shahid higher.” Another user wrote, “Shahid is a better actor than RK. RK can’t pull a 'Haider' or 'Kaminey.' All of Ranbir’s roles can be done by Shahid, except 'Barfi' may be. That’s why he is never on the list.” A user commented

“Ok, I think it was planned between Mira and Shahid. But love it”, the comment read. A user had a rather funny reaction saying, “Karan in his mind “Kareena bura mann jaegi.”

Users overwhelmingly agreed that Shahid is a better actor than Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, but Karan Johar wants to promote them.“Yes obviously. Shahid has more range than Ranbir and is arguably a better actor”, said a commenter.

A user pointed out how despite not being on the list, Shahid Kapoor makes an appearance on the show every season.“I always thought ki karan hamesha shahid ko kaise skip karta hai! It’s always Ranveer and Ranbir acting. For young actors it’s always Varun, Siddharth, and Tiger. For megastars, it’s always the Khans and Hrithik. And Shahid has been a part of all seasons? Isn’t it weird for Shahid? And he is not like Arjun Kapoor.. ki chalo aane ko to mil raha hai at least.”

Some believed Shahid was excluded because of his timing. I found this "calling out" weird. The lists usually focused on young actors. “I always thought this “calling out” was odd. The lists were always about the younger crop of actors coming through. Shahid was a sort of in-between generation, more senior than Ranbir, Ranveer, etc but not a 90s star either.” A user commented.
