Koffee With Karan's Grand Finale: What to Expect from the Final Season!

Karan Johar Bids Farewell to Koffee With Karan

In a significant announcement, Karan Johar has revealed that the upcoming ninth season of his iconic talk show, Koffee With Karan, will mark the end of the series. After an impressive run of 22 years, eight seasons, and 161 episodes since its launch in 2004, the show is concluding as Johar shifts his focus back to filmmaking and long-form narratives. The final season is set to premiere on Jio Hotstar on October 14.

Filming for this last season is already in progress, with recent sessions featuring stars Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, accompanied by special guest Arjun Kapoor. However, the most exciting news is the return of two of Bollywood's biggest names. Shah Rukh Khan has reportedly filmed an episode with his son, Aryan Khan, marking Aryan's debut on the show and Shah Rukh's first appearance since 2016.

A Star-Studded Finale Lineup

The episode featuring Shah Rukh and Aryan Khan was filmed at Yash Raj Films Studios over a week ago. Sources suggest that Johar, a close family friend, played a key role in arranging this appearance, which promises to offer a heartfelt glimpse into their father-son relationship. Shah Rukh Khan has been a regular on the show since its beginning, having first appeared in the inaugural season with Kajol and returning in later years with guests like Amitabh Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Gauri Khan, and Hrithik Roshan.

Salman Khan's Long-Awaited Return

Adding to the excitement surrounding the final season is the much-anticipated return of Salman Khan, who will grace the show for the first time in ten years. He is set to appear in the season's premiere episode, marking a significant comeback for the actor, who last featured during the fourth season and the 100th episode celebration. With these star-studded appearances, the final season aims to deliver a memorable conclusion to the show's two-decade legacy in Indian pop culture.
