Ekta Kapoor On Radhika Apte: The internet truly has a long memory, and Ekta Kapoor‘s uncalled-for remark about Radhika Apte on Koffee With Karan in 2011 is the latest proof. A resurfaced clip from the popular talk show has sparked fresh outrage, with netizens slamming Ekta for her comment on Radhika, who is now a celebrated name in Indian and international cinema.
The Controversial Koffee With Karan Moment
Back in 2011, Ekta Kapoor appeared on Karan Johar‘s chat show with her brother Tusshar Kapoor. The episode, like most form the show, was peppered with gossip and controversial statements. During a segment where Karan tried to dig into Tusshar’s personal life, Ekta brought up Radhika Apte’s name, calling her “attractive in a horsey way.” Tusshar, however, seemed uncomfortable and tried to steer the conversation away from the subject.
At the time, rumors were rife about Radhika and Tusshar being romantically linked. However, Radhika later revealed that it was all a publicity stunt orchestrated without her knowledge. In a 2023 interview with Mashable India, she said:
“I had gone to London to study contemporary dance. Shor in the City became a huge hit, so they called me back for promotions. Then they only spread some link-up rumours about me and Tusshar. It obviously wasn’t true. I didn’t know. Initially, I was very entertained because I got an article that I was apparently in Goa celebrating Valentine’s Day with Tusshar Kapoor, and I was studying for my exams in London.”

Internet Slams Ekta Kapoor’s Remarks
The old Koffee with Karan clip has now resurfaced on social media, and netizens aren’t holding back. Many have called out Ekta Kapoor for her tasteless dig at Radhika. One user wrote: “Yeah Ekta, I mean you’re also attractive in a gutkha way.”
Others chimed in with comments like:
“I thought Tusshar was pretty decent and almost trying to save Radhika in this interview. Ekta was being bitchy for no reason :|.”
“So tasteless, and then they call themselves classy.”
“No amount of money can give you class.”
“That condescending attitude towards a Marathi surname while working in Maharashtra.”
“Girl, idk if this is scripted or what, but that is truly unclassy behavior regardless. Miss Ma’am, calling someone ‘horsey’ just because you’re ‘jealous’ is such loser behavior.”
Radhika Apte’s Response
Radhika Apte, who was studying contemporary dance in London at the time, has remained graceful about the incident. In a chat show appearance with Neha Dhupia, she said: “When that happened, I was in London studying dance. I still really don’t know why this was said,” adding that Ekta Kapoor had otherwise been nice to her in person.
The Internet Never Forgets
As Ekta Kapoor faces backlash for her decade-old comments, the incident serves as a reminder of how words spoken in jest can have lasting consequences. Whether scripted or not, fans believe that celebrities must exercise caution and grace in their public appearances.
In the age of social media, nothing goes unnoticed- and as the resurfaced Koffee With Karan clip proves, the internet never forgets.
