Filmmaker Karan Johar says he got stumped speaking to superstar Salman Khan on 'Koffee With Karan' and thought the actor very funny as he kept parking humour with a straight face.
Karan is currently into the fourth season of the celebrity talk show, whose very first guest this time was his best friend Shah Rukh Khan's one-time enemy Salman.
Also, the 'Dabangg' Khan has never been a guest on the show before. During the chat, Salman made some stunning revelations including he is a virgin.
"I have gone world over and there are people who genuinely came and asked me is he really a virgin. He was being funny when he said I am saving myself for the wedding night. Salman has a straight face sense of humour. I can't believe there are people who believed it. That is what is scary as you can say anything and people might take you seriously," Karan said.
Ask him if he ever was at loss of words while talking to Salman, the host said, "Sometimes you get stumped with Salman.. Even I got stumped one or two times like what should I do now, sometimes because of seniority you tend to... With younger generation you can get away saying anything."
Salman's presence on the opening episode of 'Koffee With Karan' had people talking. But Karan shrugged off the controversy.
"Last season I started with Abhishek Bachchan and his wife Aishwarya. With very show there is always a different journey.With this particular season it is different journey. Why do people read into everything..It is just a show... Who starts and ends it how does it matter," he asked.
The surprising element this time was the appearance of the other two Khans-- Salman and Aamir-- on the chat show as SRK has been regularly part of the previous seasons.
"Both had not been on the show for various reasons in the past. I am glad they both made it this time. Salman kicked off the season in a superb way and I am happy he came. I was very touched as he was warm and wonderful, which he always is," Karan said.
