Karan
Johar
has
achieved
the
impossible
getting
Ajay
Devgn
to
shoot
for
his
TV
show.
After
refusing
to
appear
on
the
show
for
the
last
two
seasons,
AJ
shot
with
KJo
yesterday.
It
is
learnt
that
it
took
a
lot
of
convincing
on
the
host's
part
to
convince
the
actor
to
settle
down
on
the
couch
for
Koffee.
Ajay
has
stayed
away
from
the
show
primarily
because
of
its
irreverent
nature,
but
also
because
he
is
a
reserved
person,
who'd
rather
talk
about
his
work
than
indulge
in
controversies.
The
source
adds
that
Karan
was
keen
to
have
Kajol
make
an
appearance
with
her
husband
this
season
but
she
excused
herself
playing
the
baby
card.
She,
however,
urged
her
hubby
to
go
on
the
show.
Devgn
agreed,
after
being
told
that
the
show
has
toned
down
and
that
he
wouldn't
be
made
uncomfortable.
"The
host
was
thrilled
to
have
Ajay
on
the
show.
Prior
to
the
shoot,
Ajay
and
KJo
were
closeted
together
for
two
hours
in
the
make-up
van."
Karan
reveals
that
it
wasn't
difficult
getting
him
on
the
show.
"We
have
been
chatting
a
lot.
Initially,
Ajay
had
reservations
but
I
told
him
we
will
make
it
fun
and
comfortable
and
not
gossipy.I
wanted
to
catch
a
glimpse
of
Ajay
and
who
he
is
and
I
think
I
managed
that."
Karan
further
adds,
"I
would've
liked
Kajol
on
the
show
but
she's
busy
with
her
newborn
baby
and
it's
difficult
for
her
to
get
away.
I
don't
think
Ajay
has
ever
done
a
one-on-one
chat
show
like
KWK.
It's
very
interesting
for
me
to
have
Ajay
on
the
show
as
he's
media
shy
and
an
introvert
while
the
show
is
extrovert-ish
and
chatty."
He
stresses
that
the
Devgn
episode
is
non-controversial,
"The
show
caters
to
the
celebrity
guest
and
his
persona
and
Ajay
is
strong
and
solid
with
a
fantastic
sense
of
humour
as
his
friends
and
family
know
him
to
have.
I
discovered
that
too.
He
has
emerged
as
the
biggest
survivor
with
a
tremendous
career
graph
in
the
last
20
years
and
I
wanted
to
chat
with
him
in
that
zone.
We
wrapped
up
in
an
hour
and
he
was
very
funny,
witty
and
sharp
with
some
interesting
observations."
Reveals
an
insider,
"Ajay
was
very
good
in
the
rapidfire
round,
where
he
answered
everything
candidly
and
quickly;
surprising
even
Karan
who
didn't
expect
him
to
have
such
a
sharp
sense
of
humour."
