MID-DAY (November 24, 2016)

Touted as the mother of all episodes, Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh will come together for this Sunday’s episode of Koffee With Karan. In fact, host Karan Johar found the chat so hot to handle that he decided to run it earlier than other episodes that were slotted.

That the two actors shared the couch is a feat in itself since Ranbir’s ex-flame, Deepika Padukone, is Ranveer’s current ladylove. According to insiders, they will drop enough hints about their love lives that have been grist for gossip mills over the past few months.

Asked to imitate Ranbir’s exgirlfriend Katrina Kaif, Ranveer showed off the actress’ stock expressions, and Ranbir was far from upset. He laughed. Ranveer also reacted to Shah Rukh Khan’s jibe on the first episode of the chat show when he said he was curious if the actor was wearing padded underwear in his next film. “I am just saving them (makers of Befikre) post-production cost. Otherwise, they will have to do VFX on my red chillies,” said Ranveer, tongue firmly in cheek, referring to SRK’s production banner.

Later, Ranveer and Ranbir danced together on Katrina’s Chikni Chameli item number from Agneepath.

With reports of him having kissed and made up with Kat recently surfacing, the Kapoor scion raised curiosity about his single status all over again when he said, “Being single is boring. If you want space, you should join NASA,” and even admitted he is not heartbroken.

We are waiting to watch.
