Netizens Slam Ekta Kapoor As Video Of Her Calling Radhika Apte ‘Attractive In A Gutka Way’ Goes Viral

Back in 2011, not many may know, but Tusshar Kapoor and Radhika Apte were often linked romantically. Interestingly, they never dated. Around this time, Tusshar and his sister Ekta Kapoor appeared together on the ever-controversial Koffee with Karan, hosted by Karan Johar.

During the episode, Karan tried to nudge Tusshar into talking about his romantic interests, and Ekta cheekily brought up Radhika Apte’s name with a tone that raised eyebrows. This moment recently resurfaced online, and the clip has been going viral.

Ekta Kapoor’s comment on Radhika Apte on Koffee With Karan resurfaces after a decade

Radhika Apte is one of the most talented actresses not just in the Indian entertainment industry but also internationally. However, back in 2011, Radhika Apte was still a new face in the film industry. Around this time, she starred in Krishna DK’s Shor in the City, and soon after, rumors began swirling about a possible romantic connection between her and co-star Tusshar Kapoor.

While Radhika’s career was just beginning, this controversy sparked a lot of curiosity. The buzz gained further momentum when Tusshar appeared on Koffee with Karan alongside his sister Ekta Kapoor, who had a surprising comment to add to the mix.

During the episode, host Karan Johar prodded Tusshar about his love life, and Ekta joined in on the teasing. She mentioned Radhika with a sharp remark, describing her as,

“Yeah, she is attractive in a horsey sort of way.”

To say that it was evidently a discomfort for Tusshar would be a sheer understatement.

This comment made by Ekta drew attention because of its tone. Furthermore, many found it unnecessarily harsh. Tusshar attempted to deflect the conversation, but the moment became a memorable highlight of the episode.

Now, more than a decade later, this clip has resurfaced online, reigniting debates about the comment and its uncalled-for nature. Fans have been expressing their opinion in myriad ways.

Here is how netizens reacted to the comment made by Ekta Kapoor

Netizens have reacted strongly to Ekta Kapoor’s resurfaced comment about Radhika Apte, calling it unclassy and unnecessary. While some criticized her harsh tone and lack of respect, others defended Tusshar Kapoor, noting his apparent effort to steer the conversation away from Radhika.

Comments ranged from sarcastic jabs like “Ekta, you’re also attractive in a Gutkha way” to outright criticism of her condescending attitude towards Radhika’s surname and behavior.

Radhika Apte on the comment made by Ekta Kapoor and the whole rumor regarding her and Tusshar Kapoor being romantically linked-up

Radhika Apte has addressed the buzz and rumors linking her with Tusshar Kapoor. It is interesting to note that back when the rumors were at their peak, Radhika was in London, studying contemporary dance.

In an appearance on Neha Dhupia’s chat show, she expressed her confusion over Ekta Kapoor’s comment about her, saying,

“When that happened, I was in London studying dance. I still really don’t know why this was said.”

She also mentioned that Ekta had been nice to her in person, making the situation all the more puzzling for her.

Years later, during an interview with Mashable India, Radhika revealed that the link-up rumors were actually a publicity stunt. She shared that she wasn’t even aware of the plan.

“I had gone to London to study contemporary dance. Saibo became a huge hit, so they called me back for promotions. Then they only spread some link-up rumors about me and Tusshar. It obviously wasn’t true. I didn’t know.”

Laughing about the absurdity of the situation, she recalled reading an article claiming she was in Goa celebrating Valentine’s Day with Tusshar Kapoor, while in reality, she was studying for exams in London.
