With Koffee With Karan Season 7’s release date being just around the corner, I am only waiting to see what host Karan Johar has in store for us this time. I am sure it will be all things starry, for the host has a super impressive line-up as his guest list that includes the biggest of names from Bollywood and the South. What I have been loving the most about Koffee With Karan’s online version is that it carries quite a fun vibe that we witnessed in the show’s promo. However, the Koffee With Karan Season 7 trailer poked my nostalgia and I thought of revisiting some glimpses of the previous seasons.
Watch that promo here:
Now that this promo has refreshed some of your memories too, look at these 10 celebrities whose answers to Karan Johar turned out to be sharp and brutally honest…
1. Aamir Khan
While Aamir Khan is always away from the limelight and even social media, he makes sure to charm us on the big screen. But there was this one time when he took us all by surprise on Koffee With Karan Season 5. When he appeared in this episode he was a total winner in every answer he gave, but the most epic comeback was when Karan asked him one thing he disliked but has to pretend to like about this industry? And Aamir was quick to reply, ‘Your Show’, later he quickly changed his answer to filmy parties, but it was surely the IT moment of that episode.
2. Ranveer Singh
Ranveer Singh has given us the best episodes of Koffee With Karan which you can also watch online if you don’t agree. And it is all thanks to the crazy energy he carries with him all the time. By far my favourite episode of Ranveer has been from KWK Season 5 where he shared the couch with Ranbir Kapoor. While Ranveer had taunted Karan saying, “why don’t you carry yourself like a senior filmmaker?” there was also a moment where Ranveer was asked what would he do if he was stuck in an elevator with Anushka Sharma, Katrina Kaif, and Deepika Padukone. To this Ranveer replied… “If stuck in an elevator with Katrina, Anushka and Deepika? I’d gossip about Ranbir Kapoor.”
3. Ranbir Kapoor
In that very episode, Ranbir Kapoor also made sure to be as honest as he could with his answers. In fact, he even told Karan how making any confessions on Koffee With Karan is bad for their careers, because they have to spend months clarifying them. Another highlight of this episode was the little friction we sensed between Ranveer and Ranbir while talking about the awkwardness with regard to Deepika Padukone.
4. Twinkle Khanna
Mrs. Funnybones aka Twinkle Khanna absolutely knows how to ace her words. And as expected she had some really witty answers to give to Karan Johar when she appeared on Koffee With Karan Season 5. Right at the beginning of the episode, when KJo asked if there is no scope for a third person in their marriage, Twinkle quickly replied that “You are there, come, the other man. Fulfil your fantasies, Karan.” However, the biggest statement that made headlines was, “some extra inches” when KJo asked what Akshay Kumar has that the Khans don’t. Sadly we will miss Twinkle in KWK Season 7.
5. Shah Rukh Khan
We all know that Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar have been the thickest of friends for years now. So a conversation between them can only be interesting, but in season 1 when SRK shared the Koffee couch with Kajol, there was an ouch moment for KJo. It so happened that Karan asked SRK, an Indian film he wished he wasn’t a part of? And being the king of witty responses, Shah Rukh promptly said, “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” and Karan’s expression was priceless. Again in season 5 when SRK appeared on the show with Alia Bhatt, while talking about his embarrassing moment, SRK shared, “Karan always walks inside the changing room with me. That’s life’s most embarrassing moment for me.”
6. Kareena Kapoor Khan
Bebo aka Kareena Kapoor Khan might be Karan Johar’s best bud when it comes to gossip, but there was a moment on Koffee With Karan Season 5 where she pulled Karan’s leg by critiquing his fashion sense. And that only left KJo super embarrassed. As per Karan’s prediction, Kareena did not zip it when Karan asked her if she had designed an airport rack for herself at home. Giving it back the spunky Kareena told him, “Listen, my airport looks are better than yours Karan…” Turning to Sonam Kapoor she also added, “Sometimes, I send Karan pictures of his airport looks because I want to know where he finds the jackets he wears to airports. They are like sacks. Like what is happening?” Another priceless moment was Bebo’s expression at various moments in the episode.
7. Priyanka Chopra Jonas
We all have been super proud of Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ journey to stardom and now being a global icon. But back in her days in Bollywood, PeeCee was quite the queen of sass especially when she appeared on Koffee With Karan. Specifically, her KWK season 5 and 6 episodes have been epic. In one of the episodes, Priyanka jokingly told Karan, “Gatar mein se dimag nikalo apna…”
8. Salman Khan
Well, Salman Khan has really opened up on Koffee with Karan many times. Especially, in Koffee With Karan Season 4, the star spoke about being a virgin and that simply made headlines. Bollywood’s Bhaijaan has had his moments but nothing has been able to beat this statement. In that very episode, Salman also joked with Karan saying, “Now we all have to come out of your bedroom…” with a little pun intended there. In fact, when Karan asked him why Salman resisted being on his show earlier, Salman bluntly said, “The kind of questions that you ask they get too personal and I feel very uncomfortable.”
9. Farah Khan
Farah Khan and Karan Johar have been the best of friends and while we see them pull each other’s legs on social media. But this goofy friendship dates back years and even then both KJo and Farah didn’t mince their words when talking to each other. During Koffee With Karan Season 4, Farah Khan had quite the comeback to Karan when he asked her about her sex life. Responding to that Farah said, “Let’s all stand up and observe a moment of silence,” to this Karan said, “For your sex life?” and Farah responded, “for yours too, for your’s we’ll have to stand for the whole show.” Ouch!
10. Abhishek Bachchan
While we know Abhishek Bachchan is a wizard of his words, there was a time on Koffee With Karan Season 4 in the same episode as Farah Khan’s where junior Bachchan couldn’t stop pulling KJo’s leg. In fact, he said, “Karan we love you very much, but those days are gone where we were willing to do anything for you.” This episode was one laughter riot, Abhishek, sarcastically said, “This show is so much fun.”
Well, this Koffee has been steaming and piping hot for years. And it never gets dull, so now with Koffee With Karan Season 7 that streams on Disney Plus Hotstar from 7th July, I am only looking forward to the honest yet cool comebacks we might witness. Stay tuned!
