When angry Preity Zinta called Tusshar Kapoor after he said her face reminded him of 'cosmetic surgery' on 'Koffee with Karan'

Chandigarh, July 27

It was in a 2011 episode of Koffee with Karan, actor Tusshar Kapoor had landed himself into trouble after a comment he made about Preity Zinta’s appearance.

Koffee with Karan returned for a seventh season in July.

Tusshar has appeared on Koffee with Karan with his sister, television producer Ekta Kapoor.

During the rapid fire round, Karan Johar asked Tusshar to reveal “the first name that comes to your mind when I say cosmetic surgery”.

Tusshar instantly replied, “Preity Zinta.”

He, however, realised what that what he said could land him onto trouble and said: “Ouch. I’m sorry, that was just to win the hamper,” Karan said, “It’s fine.”

However, Preity wasn’t happy about what Tusshar had said, according to a PTI report.

Tusshar told PTI, “Preity called me. She was upset and I cleared my stand. Everyone knows that Karan’s rapid fire round is just for laughs. You don’t even have the time to think when Karan puts you in the dock. Recently, I saw Preity’s picture in a magazine and she was looking stunning having lost a lot of weight. So, when Karan asked, Preity’s name just came out at the spur of the moment. There’s nothing more to it.” He continued, “I’ve loved Preity since Soldier. I didn’t mean to hurt her and I’m feeling bad that my comment turned into such an ugly controversy. I’m glad that we spoke and sorted it out rather than letting it snowball into something worse. I don’t even know what botox actually is, and why will I say something like this about someone who I truly respect.”
