Karan Johar confirms Koffee With Karan will be back with season 9 on Diwali
FIlmmaker Karan Johar has eventually proclaimed the revival meeting date stamp of his strike talk show, Koffee With Karan. The show was last on air in 2024.During a chat with The Week, the filmmaker was asked by an audience member about the tentative date of Koffee With Karan's return. With a smile, Karan said, “Diwali. Season 9.”Who was on season 8?Koffee With Karan season eight was mighty controversial with Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone facing the worst of it. The couple was heavily trolled for their comments about their relationship. Other guests of the season were Sharmila Tagore, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Kajol, Ajay Devgn, Rohit Shetty, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra, Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Panday, Neetu Kapoor and Zeenat Aman, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, Arjun Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur, Vicky Kaushal and Kiara Advani.Koffee With Karan has been on air since 2004 with Karan hosting all eight seasons. The show has given desi pop culture some of its most controversial moments. From Sonam Kapoor and Deepika skewering Ranbir Kapoor to Emraan Hashmi's not-so-polite words for Aishwarya Rai. Hardik Pandya faced heavy backlash for his comments about his dating life on the show as well and Alia suffered for years for a misfired rapid fire question.The worst controversy of Koffee With KaranThe worst of it all was faced by Karan himself, who was dubbed ‘the flagbearer nepotism ’ by Kangana Ranaut on the show, a tag that he has not been able to ward off over all these years.A 2017 episode of Koffee with Johar with Kangana had gone viral after the 'Queen' actor famously labelled the host Karan as the "movie mafia" even calling him a "stereotypical villain" in her professional journey. The interview sparked intense debate around insiders vs outsiders in Bollywood.Last week, Kangana in an interview with ANI, clarified that she doesn't view Karan Johar negatively. She described him as someone who openly embraces a flashy, lighthearted persona and has a strong sense of humour."I don't think Karan Johar is a bad person. You know, I think he's very proudly just superficial, flaky, flashy. He likes that. He's very proud of that, and I think he has an amazing sense of humour. So I don't think I have a problem with Karan Johar as such," said Kangana Ranaut.
