Coffee lovers will know why Thursdays are special. It is because they have Karan Johar getting celebrities to spill the tea on the Koffee With Karan couch! This week, we had Kareena Kapoor Khan and Aamir Khan on the show which we were quite excited about, to be honest. We thought that the two, who are sharing screen space in the upcoming film Laal Singh Chaddha, would come and spill some piping hot tea, but the two brought a very dull and uninteresting rapport to the couch. The episode also felt like a promotional strategy for their film. *sigh* But apart from all of that, just as the episode began, Karan asked Aamir Khan what it was recreating an iconic film like Forest Gump and this led to Kareena revealing that she had to screen test for her part in Laal Singh Chaddha. For the first time ever. WHATT!
After Aamir revealed the entire process of creating Laal Singh Chaddha, Karan turned to Kareena to ask her what it felt to be a part of this movie. And here it is when she revealed that Aamir had insisted that she screen test for her role, Rupa, in the film. Kareena also went on to add that it was the first time ever that someone had asked to screen test for a role!
She also went on to add that she was nervous about the screen test because she had not done this before for any of her films. It was Saif Ali Khan who boosted her morale to get the test done. Kareena elaborated that she gave it a shot because it was for her dear friend Aamir who she knew also goes through the screen tests for his projects.

During it this whole conversation, it was revealed that Aamir and the makers were looking for an actress who was around 25 years old for the part of Rupa. He said he did not want to de-age an actress on screen and hence, were looking for a younger one. But Aamir also said that he wouldn’t have minded getting de-aged for a role. Doesn’t make sense, na?
