In one of the episodes of JioHotstar’s trending fashion entrepreneurial reality show Pitch To Get Rich, judges Karan Johar and Malaika Arora sparked a viral social media moment by comparing an entrepreneur contestant to Congress MP Shashi Tharoor. During the pitch session, Karan Johar asked, “Aapko kya kisi ne kaha hai aap Shashi Tharoor jaise dikhte hai?” to which Malaika added, “Dikhte hai aur baat bhi karte hai vaise hi,” drawing laughter and making the moment instantly popular online.

Tharoor himself joined the conversation by quoting the viral clip with his signature wit: “Must say to Karan Johar and Malaika Arora that it’s clearly been too long since they’ve met me!”. His quick, humorous response delighted fans, who flooded social media with their own takes—some agreeing with the judges, others cheekily disagreeing, and many urging the trio to finally meet and settle the comparison in person.

Netizens added playful commentary, joking about the “Emperor of Suave” and poking fun at the differences between Tharoor’s oratory and the judges’ flamboyant style. Comments ranged from “They both need an eye check-up” to, “Only in Bollywood could flamboyance be mistaken for fluency. Tharoor speaks in paragraphs; Karan speaks in promos, and Malaika, as always, nods in style,” keeping the pop culture energy alive online.
The show, produced by Dharmatic Entertainment and the Fashion Entrepreneur Fund, brings together fashion business founders to pitch their ideas to Karan Johar, Malaika Arora, Manish Malhotra, and rotating celebrity guests like Sara Ali Khan, Ananya Panday, Akshay Kumar, and Saif Ali Khan. Beyond deal-making, the reality show is becoming known for candid, playful exchanges that keep Gen Z and millennial audiences engaged.
