A recent video from a Prime Video event in Mumbai has gone viral, capturing a heartwarming and slightly awkward exchange between actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Karan Johar. Known for her respectful nature, Samantha surprised the audience by attempting to touch Karan’s feet, a traditional Indian gesture of respect towards elders or those held in high esteem.
Karan, seemingly caught off guard, reacted with a mix of surprise and amusement. He politely declined, saying “no-no” as Samantha bent down. This sparked a lighthearted moment when actor Varun Dhawan, also present at the event, joined the scene. With a playful smile, Varun suggested that maybe everyone should touch Karan’s feet, adding to the laughter in the room.
The exchange took on a more sentimental note for fans familiar with Samantha and Karan’s bond. Their connection dates back to her appearance on Karan’s popular talk show “Koffee with Karan,” where Samantha opened up about her life and career. Karan, never one to miss an opportunity for wit, responded with a humorous remark. “I don’t want to be aged here, please,” he said. “I’m finally over my midlife crisis.
I don’t need you to put me in my place.” The banter continued as Varun jokingly complimented Karan on his youthful appearance, implying he might have had some help. Karan countered with a quip about others having cosmetic procedures, cleverly deflecting the playful accusation.
The entire exchange, though brief, highlighted the camaraderie between the stars and served as a moment of entertainment for the audience. The event itself focused on the launch of the upcoming Amazon Prime series “Citadel: Honey Bunny,” featuring Samantha and Varun.
