When Karan Johar asked about Prabhas dating Baahubali co-star, Anushka Shetty, his unexpected reply left everyone laughing

Prabhas, one of Telugu cinema’s most beloved stars, is known for his iconic on-screen chemistry with Anushka Shetty in films like the Baahubali series, Billa, and Mirchi. In an episode of Koffee with Karan Johar, he once brought laughter and energy to the couch. He was accompanied by Baahubali director SS Rajamouli and actor Rana Daggubati. Prabhas was asked about rumours linking him romantically with Anushka—a moment that quickly turned into a hilarious exchange.

During the episode, Prabhas clarified that his bond with Anushka is purely a long-standing friendship, developed over years of working together. He emphasised that their comfort on screen and off is rooted in professional camaraderie. Rana Daggubati supported this, firmly stating that the pair are not dating. Adding to the humour, Karan Johar highlighted that Anushka had played both Prabhas’ wife and mother in the Baahubali films, prompting a witty remark from the actor that had the entire couch in laughter. He said, "Exactly! See, how can I date her?"
