Shikhar Dhawan's chat show, Dhawan Karenge, has dropped today (May 20) on JioCinema. The cricketer has ventured into a new space by turning into a talk show host. Several Bollywood celebrities, Indian cricketers and personalities from different walks of life will be seen as guests on Dhawan Karenge. Akshay Kumar is the first celebrity guest on Shikhar's chat show. In a recent interview with Mid-Day, Shikhar spilled beans about things to expect from the first episode and his bond with the Bollywood actor.
Shikhar Dhawan spoke to the tabloid about his equation with Akshay Kumar. The Dhawan Karenge host said he has known the B-Town actor for five years now and they have a lot of love for one another.
"That affection will be reflected in the episode. People will love seeing a new side of him. We discussed our journeys and shared our philosophies. In fact, one of the games that we played on the show was one that he thought about on the spot," he revealed.
Shikhar further dismissed any sort of comparison with Karan Johar's chat show, Koffee With Karan. The cricketer said his and KJo's personalities are different. He believes every person has his/her own charm and unique flavour to a project.
For the uninitiated, Dhawan Karenge's guest list not only includes cricketers and celebrities but also content creators, business personalities and more. Speaking of which, Shikhar added he has friends in all fraternities and he enjoys talking to everyone. Dhawan stated he gets to learn from personalities belonging to diverse fields.
"When two minds from different walks of life connect with each other, the resulting interaction is special; different aspects come to the fore," he added.
Meanwhile, apart from Akshay, Taapsee Pannu, Harbhajan Singh, Rishabh Pant, Bhuvan Bam and others will be seen on Dhawan Karenge. Shikhar has also teased Virat Kohli's appearance on the show.
