Yesterday morning, Karan Johar gave me a mini heartbreak as he shared a note on social media stating that his beloved and sometimes controversial chat show Koffee With Karan will not be returning. While a lot of fans of the show, including me, were saddened by the development, in the evening, the filmmaker shared another note completing his message and it did give me a sigh of relief after I read it.

Check out the first note here:


In the first note, Karan stated that “it is with a heavy heart that I announce that Koffee With Karan will not be returning…” And then with the second note, he completed it saying, “… on TV! Because every great story needs a good twist, I’m delighted to announce that Season 7 of Koffee With Karan will stream exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar.”

Check out his second note here:


He added,

“The biggest movie stars from across India will return to the couch to spill the beans while drinking some koffee. There will be games, there will be rumours put to rest – and there will be conversations that will go deep, about love, loss and everything we’ve all been through over the last few years.”

I must admit that as happy as I am that the show is returning, I am equally impressed by the cheeky tactic used by Karan to announce the upcoming season. KWK has been a part of pop culture and my insight into the up and close life of Bollywood stars ever since its inception, and now that I am a part of the industry myself, my excitement for the upcoming season has increased manifolds. I can’t wait to start streaming it ‘soon’, as the filmmaker put it.
