Karan Johar reveals that he will be returning with the nineth season of his talk show, Koffee With Karan in 2025. In a candid chat, he opened up about the lukewarm response the last season got while sharing that he found the rapid fire questions the "most boring."
Over the years, Karan Johar's Koffee with Karan has generated a lot of controversy because of his fast-paced questioning style, which frequently forces celebrities to divulge personal information. The highly sought-after coffee hamper from the show also attracts a lot of attention on social media since people are curious about what's inside. Director, producer, and talk show presenter Karan recently announced that the new season of the chat show will debut in 2019 and talked about the successes and failures of the previous season, following a "cold" season eight that streamed last year.
Karan recently reviewed the upcoming season and offered a critique on the eighth installment, calling it "the most boring rapid fire in the history of the show," in an interview with critic and YouTuber Sucharita Tyagi. There will be a new syntax in Season 9. Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh were the first guests on Koffee With Karan season 8 last year. Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and Sharmila Tagore, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, Rani Mukerji and Kajol, Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Panday, Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor, and Rani Mukerji were among the other noteworthy guests.
Reflecting on Season 8
Known for his witty banter and captivating presenting manner, Karan Johar was forthright in his critique of the most recent season. In a recent interview, he admitted that this time around, the show's centrepiece, the rapid fire round, didn't live up to the hype.
"Why am I even doing this?" Johar rhetorically questioned, reflecting on the underwhelming responses from guests. The rapid fire round, typically filled with controversial and entertaining questions, seemed to lack the spark and spontaneity that have made it a fan favorite over the years.
Viewer and Critical Feedback
Fans of the show also shared mixed reactions to Season 8, with many echoing Johar’s sentiments about the rapid fire round. Social media platforms were abuzz with discussions about how the segment felt more subdued compared to previous seasons.
Critics have pointed out that the evolving dynamics of Bollywood and the cautious nature of celebrity interactions might have contributed to the less exciting exchanges. The increasing scrutiny and sensitivity in the public eye could be factors leading guests to be more guarded in their responses.
