Filmmaker Karan Johar has set a wrong precedent as a television host. He puts the weirdest of questions to his celebrity guests on his show. The guests are often left with no choice but to answer them, which eventually puts them in trouble with their colleagues or loved ones.

The latest in that regard is the query that he tried to bamboozle Kareena Kapoor with.  She was asked by K-Jo that, if she were stuck in a lift with Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif, who she would prefer to be with. Kareena K took no time in answering that she’d rather commit suicide. Well, here’s a tiny nugget of info for you Mrs Pataudi: Deepika P and Katrina K (probably) feel the same about you.
