The latest episode of Karan Johar's chat show Koffee With Karan 8 was one for the books. It is not every day that we get to see icons like Zeenat Aman and Neetu Kapoor on chat shows. During the episode, the film veterans recalled "traumatic" headlines printed about them in film magazines in those days. Karan Johar briefly spoke about the presence of stars on social media and the paparazzi culture. Neetu Kapoor intervened and said, "But those days so many articles were there in the magazines." Zeenat Aman added, "Half of them were made up."

Karan Johar asked his guests, "Did you get worried what are they going to write? When people wrote headlines. That was the culture that time. To expose a relationships." Neetu Kapoor replied, "It was scary Karan. It was really, really scary."

Zeenat Aman added, "It was traumatic. Because you know, half the time it was perception and I learnt to detach myself from this weird monster that they had created in their whole saga of what they thought Zeenat Aman was. And headlines were crushing. And really, it was all about selling magazines. And people would talk to me and say things like you are this sex symbol, I said I wish even 10 percent of this was true, because all I remember was going to the studio and then home.
