Koffee with Karan (2026)
Koffee with Karan first began in 2004, and over nine seasons it became Bollywood’s most talked-about chat show, known for making stars say the things they never say anywhere else. Season 9, hosted as always by Karan Johar, premiered on JioHotstar on 14 October 2026 and has been announced as the final season of the show.
The farewell season opened in style with Salman Khan, who first appeared on the show in 2013 and gave it one of its most famous lines. Karisma Kapoor joined him in the premiere episode. The second episode, released on 21 October, brought together Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda, one of the most awaited pairings of recent years.
The reported guest list for the remaining episodes is built like a goodbye celebration: Alia Bhatt with her sister Shaheen Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan with Saif Ali Khan, Sara Ali Khan with Ibrahim Ali Khan, Varun Dhawan with Janhvi Kapoor, Ananya Panday with Ananya Birla, and younger stars like Vedang Raina, Sharvari Wagh and Lakshya. Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani are also expected to appear. The format stays classic Karan Johar: personal questions nobody else dares to ask, playful games, and the rapid-fire round where one wrong answer becomes a headline the next morning.
