John Abraham caused quite a sensation when he appeared on Karan Johar’s talk show Koffee With Karan.

One of Bollywood’s most attractive men, John Abraham is well-known for his substantial build, acting prowess, and, of course, his good looks. John has had a distinguished career in Bollywood, appearing in films like Jism, Dhoom, and Pathaan. But did you know that Karan Johar previously made fun of him by giving him a one-liner part in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham? Additionally, the actor once made a subtle jab at the director.

Although Karan Johar is renowned for giving Bollywood stars their big break, did you know that he initially thought of John as a model and never imagined the Dostana actor would go as far as he has in the entertainment business?

John said, “The role you had offered me, Karan remember K3G”. “Don’t get into that”, said Karan Johar. And John continued, “He offered me a role of Rocky who was Kareena’s boyfriend”, Karan corrected the name as ‘Robbie’, and then Abraham further stated, “Bike leta and all.”

Karan Johar added, “He had one line in one single scene.” To that, John Abraham claimed, “Karan also sincerely offered me and said John it’s a lovely role and this and that, and I was like Karan, please don’t mind. I really don’t wanna do it.”

Karan Johar then claimed, “I just wanna say something. I was there as the judge when John was strapped. I just thought that the kind of model will be great on the ramp and definitely not on-screen. That’s why you know when he came to me I was like these are your options and other stuff. I never thought.” And then John Abraham continued, “Yeah you know he said, I have a great role in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham for you. And then, I was looking for Robbie in the whole movie ‘Where’s Robbie’ and I couldn’t see a Robbie.”

Karan Johar then shared, “Now, you are on the poster of one of my movies. Well done, and I’m sorry about that. I really didn’t think you would reach this stage.” John added while taking a sly dig, “Yeah, no one ever thought.”
