FILMMAKER and television host Karan Johar has announced the final season of his much-loved celebrity chat show Koffee With Karan. Taking to Instagram, he shared a video of him announcing the final season of his popular talk show and captioned it as, “I think we need to talk. Over Koffee, of course Hotstar Specials: Koffee with Karan Season 9, streaming 14th October onwards on JioHotstar. In the video, Karan got emotional as he recalled how his talk show dream began with a conversation with his late father, producer Yash Johar, and reflected on its journey through eight seasons and 161 episodes. In the video, he said, “So, this is more of an emotional message than an announcement. I think it was June 2004 when I told my dad, ‘I really want to host a talk show.

 

I want to get two celebrities or stars and just have an informal, candid chat with them.’ And he looked at me and said, ‘Karan, you’re going to call your friends, chat with them. You do that every day. Who is going to pay to do that?’ “He passed away that month, actually. On the 26th of June, he passed away. Give me two minutes. I’m good to go. And the very first day I shot for it was August 16, 2004. And I am here now — eight seasons later, 22 years later, 161 episodes later. (sic)” The final season of Koffee With Karan will premiere on October 14, on JioHotstar.
