Richard Gere on Koffee with Karan
"Bipasha Basu is very sexy and hot, she is terrific and bright too" - Richard Gere

Very few celebrity actors go beyond their star status and actually dedicate their lives to a cause; a cause that changes lives, a cause that saves lives. This, Sunday Karan's guest is one such man. He is not only a Hollywood superstar but also a man with a humanitarian mission and on a lighter note; he is considered one of the sexiest men in the business… Catch none other than Richard Gere on television's favourite weekly chat show, 'Koffee with Karan', this Sunday evening, 12 Aug @ 21:00 only on STAR World.

"My mother goes weak in her knees every time she sees you on television," says Karan as he welcomes the Hollywood heartthrob Richard Gere. Speaking about the Gere Foundation, Richard shares what prompted him to take up the cause of HIV Aids, his take on celebrities who think it is fashionable to fight for a cause and where does he see his Foundation a decade from today. Truly, a man who feels and works passionately for this cause, Richard talks about his experience in India and how this disease has now gone into the middle and upper middle class homes as well. Also, sharing about the fantastic support he has received from the Bollywood film fraternity, Richard talks about how Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Shabana Azmi and Bipasha Basu have been very encouraging and their enterprise and involvement set the ball rolling. On the other hand, Richard also confesses that he has seen Indian movies, but cannot recollect the names and in fact would love to act in a song and dance Bollywood movie!

The rapid fire round is surely something that the Superstar is not used to? The one thing Richard likes about India - food, women or culture? The one Indian actress Richard would love to act with? One mainstream Bollywood actor, who according to Richard has Hollywood potential? Pretty Women or Chicago? The most insane rumor Richard has heard about himself? How did he combat Karan's volley of questions? Was there enough fire in Richard's answers? Well, wait and watch!

So, don't forget to tune in as Karan chats with Richard Gere on Koffee with Karan this Sunday, 12 Aug on STAR World, at 21:00.
