Nargis, Freida on Koffee With Karan were EXTREMELY RAUNCHY
Did the Nargis Fakhri and Freida Pinto episode make for R-rated viewing?
They work in film industries that are very different from each other, and yet there's a common thread that binds them.
While Freida Pinto left the familiar world of Mumbai behind for Hollywood after Slumdog Millionaire struck gold, New Yorker Nargis Fakhri's longtime dream of travelling the world brought her to India as a model-turned-actress.
And it was a riot when the two came together on Karan Johar's show last Sunday.
While it may not exactly qualify as R-rated for some, it was content that the Moral Police work so diligently to protect viewers from.
So what was so outrageous about this episode that required a late night screening, instead of the regular 9 pm slot?

What's in a name?
The show began with generic greetings that could double up as sexual innuendo.
'Thank you for having me while I was coming,' Nargis said coyly while Karan sniggered.
The host veered the conversation towards Nargis's 'interesting' surname, and the Rockstar actress instead offered up a story about her first name.
Nargis, when spelled out quickly, can sound like 'Nargas' and that word apparently means butt cheeks in Spanish, the actress, who has Hispanic friends back in New York, told Karan.
Never one to be upstaged, Freida offered a confession. Her last name, she said, means little p***s in Portuguese. Wonder what Papa and Mama Pinto in suburban Mumbai watching their daughter on KWK thought of that.

The pole dancer act
Freida ruffled desi feathers with her steamy turn as a pole dancer in Bruno Mars's music video Gorilla last year.
As Isabella, the exotic new girl at the club, she is seen in little else than lingerie and teensy leather gear, slithering down a pole.
Boyfriend Dev Patel and Mars convinced her to play the part, Freida said, adding that she didn't think it was exploitative at all.
'I think Isabella is an empowered pole dancer. She gets to burn his guitar in the end,' she said.
Nargis admitted to being drawn to the idea of becoming a pole dancer.
'It looked really cool, but I could never get myself to do it because I'm a very shy person.' Hmmmmmm.

Of surgically enhanced beauty
There was talk about actresses going under the scalpel to enhance their anatomies and features.
When Freida alluded to her being somewhat ill-equipped in the curves department, which was why no one wanted her as a model or actress in India way before Danny Boyle's flick made her famous, Fakhri suggested that Pinto try silicone implants.
'Use those flappy silicone ones that can be thrown away later,' Fakri felt. Gosh, we hadn't even heard of those.

Three's not a crowd
Nargis, who said she would have a lesbian encounter with Priyanka Chopra if she had to because she finds Pee Cee HOT, picked Deepika Padukone and Freida as desired partners for a threesome.
'I'm into dusky girls,' she exclaims, adding that she would bring a strap-on for her rendezvous with Deepika and Freida.
Phew.
