List Of Siblings That Graced 'Koffee With Karan' Couch
'Koffee With Karan' is one of the most talked about and entertaining chat shows. Here we look at all the siblings that have appeared on the show over the years.
Acclaimed director and producer Karan Johar debuted as a filmmaker with 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, and Salman Khan. Over the years, KJo has directed films like 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham', 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna', 'My Name Is Khan', 'Student of the Year', 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' and 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani'. Apart from these full-feature-length movies, Karan Johar has also directed segments that have been part of anthology films like 'Bombay Talkies', 'Lust Stories' and 'Ghost Stories'.
Karan Johar is one of those rare directors who has a 100 per cent track record at the box office, and he is yet to deliver a flop. The director might be a famous filmmaker, but he continues to be a polarising figure. His critics often lash out at him for being a "flag-bearer" of nepotism, and he is often subjected to trolling because of his sexual orientation.
However, it is safe to say, that people love to hate Karan Johar and his chat show 'Koffee With Karan', which has managed to stay relevant for more than 20 years. Talking about 'KWK', the show first started airing in 2004, and the episodes used to be telecast on the Star World channel. Over the years, the talk show has managed to gain immense popularity for its candid conversations, celebrity revelations, and interesting gossip.
The chat has been running for eight seasons, and as of now, the number of episodes across these eight seasons stands at 159. For the unversed, 'Koffee With Karan' is the second longest-running talk show after 'Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan' on Indian Hindi-language television. The show is also one of the most-watched Indian English-language television shows in India.
The first six seasons used to be televised on Star World but seasons seven and eight opted for only digital release after a streaming exclusive deal with Disney+ Hotstar. The main reason behind the show's popularity is Karan Johar's amazing ability to bring out candid and unfiltered conversations from their guests.
'Koffee With Karan' has hosted some of the biggest names in the form of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma, Anurag Kashyap, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt. It has also given the likes of Lara Dutta, Bipasha Basu, Konkana Sen Sharma, and Rakhi Sawant to speak their minds and what they feel about the industry.
Remember Salman Khan talking about not losing his virginity? Yes, these are the sort of things, guests end up revealing on the show. Over the years, the show also witnessed its fair share of controversies and memorable moments. From shocking revelations to unexpected confessions, the show has kept audiences on the edge of their seats.
Remember when Deepika Padukone advised Ranbir Kapoor to endorse a "condom brand" and when Kangana Ranaut deemed KJo as a "movie mafia" and "flag-bearer of nepotism"? The show has rarely had dull moments.
