When you are at the mercy of Karan Johar on his talk show you need to be briefed on how not to fall into the trap of saying things you will regret later. Everyone who saw the Sunday-night episode of Koffee With Karan noticed the restrain exercised over the conversation that host Karan Johar had with Abhishek and Shweta Bachchan.
Mumbai: A source close to the Bachchans reveals Johar was “instructed” to restrain himself and so were the siblings Abhishek and Shweta Bachchan who appeared on the show, by none other the Bachchan matriarch Jaya Bachchan. “She personally warned her two children against getting provoked into saying things they would regret later. She also told Karan to watch his mouth. This, in any case he’s doing post the uproar over Hardik Pandya’s statements. But Jayaji counseled Karan against asking controversial provocative questions.” Ironically there was more talk about Jaya Bachchan on the show than anyone else.
