Karisma, Kareena lend ‘dum’ to Salman

Not entirely true. Bollywood’s lovely Kapoor
sisters, Karisma and Kareena, are confirmed guests to kick off the first episode
of the game show’s second season on Monday. A source close to the Kapoor girls
admitted, “They were approached by the channel. Karisma is busy tending to her
daughter Samaira and Kareena’s occupied with professional commitments, but still
— the two sisters readily agreed to go on the show because they are fond of
Salman.

Both girls have always declined invitations by
reality shows earlier to appear together… but for Salman’s sake, they made an
exception. Besides Kareena’s fondness for Salman, the two are also co-stars in
Main Aur Mrs Khanna, which is also why she decided to be part of Sallu’s show.
In the last season, the actor had used his considerable goodwill in Bollywood to
get stars like Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone and Aamir Khan and nephew
Imran to appear on his show.

This time round, rumours are that he isn’t exerting
his pull to do so, and the channel was approaching the stars on its own.
