Arjun–Jahnvi Were So Earnest In Their Sibling Bonding It Felt Choreographed

Although  actors Arjun Kapoor and Janhvi Kapoor are step-siblings who share the same father  but different  mothers, their relationship is hard to define .Since Jahnvi’s mother the great Sridevi died  the estranged siblings have begun bonding.As Arjun  said, this is the least he could do.

This Sunday’s Koffee With Karan had Arjun playing the protective  brother to an obviously  vulnerable  and painfully young  sister. Arjun gave a very emotional account on why he chose  to reach out to his father’s  daughters after their mother died.This was a moment of great honesty in a talks how that routinely revels in subterfuge.

There is something genuine  about Arjun . He seemed incapable  of lying this evening.When Karan Johar asked him if he is single Arjun answered  in  the negative and also volunteered  the information that he’s ready for marriage.We can now expect Arjun and his alleged lady-love Malaika Arora to make their relationship official.

The rest  of the show had very little meat or heat to the  chat. The siblings were heartwarming  together.  But that’s about it. Beyond that they had nothing to offer except giggles  about Karan Johar’s sexuality and Janhvi’s ignorance  about ‘hook ups’ and other worldly things that men  do with women.

 There is something genuine and  unspoilt  about this sibling pair . Unfortunately two  innocent people together  on Karan  Johar’s couch amounts to hearing the correct answers  for more than  an hour. We  wonder how Boney’s first wife Mona and second wife Sridevi  would have reacted to all this talk about the family coming together.

Not that anyone is asking her.
