Sex, drugs and rock n roll are archaic catchphrases for todays youth. The flower power gen has aged, and how. So, RIP Woodstock. Abstinence is the new orgasm and work, a lil fun and dollops of pragmatism are the new it words.




But surprise surprise! While modern values have taken a backseat, it is traditional Indian culture
and even Gandhi-isms that have emerged as talking points. Can you imagine todays hot young star Ranbir Kapoor asking a nation to wake up on October 2nd (Gandhi Jayanti) just like Gandhiji had woken up a nation earlier. In fact, he and Karan Johar have even planned the release of his new movie on that date. Because, like Ranbir told us, The one thing that can immediately wake up an entire nation today are a combination of achievement, success and chemistry!




Yes, chemistry ... It was Karan who first coined the newest catchphrase of all —conversational chemistry. Of course, wed heard of physical chemistry and mental compatibility; but conversational chemistry as the buzzword for todays youth? When I cast Konkona and Ranbir in my new film, Wake Up Sid, a question everyone asked me was How come you cast two people who are so unlike each other? And my reply was, They may have different demographics and followings and different places in the sun, but when they talk to each other its like bulbs lighting up in the mind. A kind of kickstarting of the grey matter and a feeling of joy we feel when we are stimulated in the mind. And dont think dirty, but all pleasure lies in between — the ears, really. So if you have great, stimulating, intoxicating, drug-inducing conversation, it is the equivalent of great sex and great relationships — that is conversational chemistry!




Ranbir agrees with KJo. What truly wakes you up is stimulating conversation. Everything else follows later. Todays youth want to be mentally stimulated. They keep away from harmful substances to a great extent and are more focussed on what they want. They are more practical yet emotional in a way about a few things — and love is one of those things.




So did he share that crackling conversation with gal-pal Deepika? Thats a personal equation. What we share is the chemistry of two people. If we discuss it, itll become inclusive of more than two, so lets not, smiled the Kapoor.
