Lara, Katrina make hot Koffee

After sharing the frame in David Dhawan's Partner, Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif are back together in this week's episode of Koffee With Karan.

The gorgeous women talk about a lot of things ranging from Lara's recent movies, to Katrina's admission that she is not in talking terms with Bipasha Basu, and of course, Salman Khan.

Here's a sneak preview of the show: 

Karan Johar: Last time, we had such a fun time with you (Lara) and Bipasha. Did I get you into trouble?

Lara: Yes, tremendously! It has taken me a whole year to undo all the problems I caused myself.

Karan: You are looking absolutely stunning. Why do I feel you are suddenly raring to go?

Lara: Because I probably am! It's taken me about three and a half years to find my footing in the industry, to find out what I like doing, the kind of cinema that I like being part of, the kind of people that I like doing work with. I think once you have that in place, you start feeling more confident about yourself.

Karan: Well, Katrina, you have been very diplomatic. I have been doing some research, looking through your interviews, trying to look for something sensational.

Katrina: Nothing na...

Karan: Nothing. Why are you like this? You are young, beautiful... you have to say rude and nasty things once in a while. Come on, say something! Think of something rude to say.

Katrina: I think it is probably because I came here at a later stage. Most people grew up here. I think there is a certain reservation about going ahead and criticising people who have grown up here and been here all their life. Let, maybe three or four years pass and I will get really over-confident and then start...

Katrina: Ya!

Karan: What both of you had strangely in common was... Lara, though you are a hard core Punjabi, you had this whole western image. Everyone thought that Lara Dutta is very westernised. But of course, you are a true Indian girl with the Punjabi background. But that never came to the fore till very recently.

Lara: But, you know, I tried to get out of the stereotype from the very first film. When I did Andaz, I did it with as hard core a Hindi film director you can get, Raj Kanwar. And the character that I played was very Punjabi. I did that with No Entry, where I played a suspicious Indian housewife. These are the roles that have been appreciated.

Karan: And you have had to combat that as well Katrina because everyone said (you are) Anglo-sized, westernised. Now, you dub your own films.

Katrina: Ya. I think, initially, it was a nice way of putting it. When it comes to modelling, it's easy. People just accept you. But in films, there is a lot of...

Lara: But, I have to say, having worked with Katrina in Partner, she gives you this huge complex. I think she is really hard working. I think she is really dedicated, she knows this is where she wants to be, and she is going to go all out to get it. And I really admire that.
