In today’s throwback, we discuss the moment John Abraham rejected Abhishek Bachchan as a potential gay lover in favour of Brad Pitt.
There are a lot of LGBT characters in Bollywood, but only a few stand out. And at the top of it are John Abraham as Kunal Chauhan and Abhishek Bachchan as Sameer Sam Acharya in Tarun Mansukhani’s 2008 romantic comedy Dostana. We’re talking about some of the hilarious questions that the cast of the movie, which stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas, were asked when appearing on Karan Johar’s Koffee With Karan to promote the movie.
During the rapid fire round of KWK, Karan grilled the actor with some hot and unusual questions. Who John would pick as his possible gay partner was one of them, and it was intended at John.
Karan asked John, “John, if you woke up one morning and realized you were gay, who’s the one man you would hook up with?” Take a microsecond to answer, the handsome hunk of Bollywood replied, “Brad Pitt” While he coolly named the Hollywood heartthrob, Priyanka Chopra Jonas can be seen pointing towards Abhishek Bachchan, who’s also on the couch.
Abhishek then questions her, “Why were you trying to say like you want to be chosen?” Justifying her action, Priyanka Chopra Jonas says, “No. I thought the obvious choice would be you. How could you John?” Attempting to defend himself, John Abraham replied, “Abhisehk is…”
Stepping in to help the ‘Pathaan’ actor, Karan Johar said, “Ghar ki murgi dal barabar.” To which John added, “Abhisehk is ghar ki murgi. He’s always there for me.” Unhappy with the reply, Priyanka Chopra Jonas chides him saying, “You take him for granted too?” To which John Abraham happily replied, “Yeah. Totally!”
The same video also features Karan Johar asking John Abraham a number of other questions, such as which of Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aamir Khan has the best body, which of Bipasha Basu (his then-girlfriend) or bikes is his wildest fantasy, which is the strangest rumour he’s ever heard about himself, which woman he would cheat on Bipasha with, and more.
