Salman Khan confirms appearance in final season of ‘Koffee with Karan’

MUMBAI— Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has confirmed that he will appear in the ninth and final season of filmmaker Karan Johar’s popular celebrity chat show ‘Koffee with Karan’.

On Monday, Karan Johar took to Instagram to share a new promotional video featuring Salman, in which the actor confirmed his appearance on the show. Johar then revealed that the upcoming season would be the last instalment of the long-running celebrity chat series.

Announcing the episode, Johar wrote in the caption, “One last time…a koffee with the one & only bhaii. Koffee with Karan Season 9, streaming 14th October onwards on The Peacock Hub On JioHotstar”.

Salman’s appearance is expected to bring back memories of some of the show’s most talked-about moments, with the actor known for his candid remarks, dry humour and unexpected revelations during his conversations with Johar.

Salman’s memorable moments on the celebrity couch

‘Koffee with Karan’ premiered in 2004 and has since become one of Indian entertainment television’s most recognisable celebrity chat shows. Hosted by Johar, the programme is known for its rapid-fire rounds, personal revelations, playful exchanges and conversations about relationships, careers and Bollywood friendships and rivalries.

Over the years, the show has featured leading actors, filmmakers, sports personalities and other prominent figures, with several episodes generating headlines and viral social media moments.

Salman’s appearances have been particularly memorable for his unfiltered humour and willingness to address questions about his personal life.

During his debut appearance in Season 4, the actor surprised viewers by saying that he was a virgin and joking that he had saved himself for his future wife. His deadpan delivery and candid response became one of the show’s widely discussed moments.

His conversations on the programme have also touched on relationships, marriage and his public image, often accompanied by his characteristic sarcasm and comic timing.

The actor’s return for the final season offers an opportunity to revisit the dynamic between Salman and Johar, whose exchanges have been among the show’s memorable celebrity interactions.

A final season for the long-running show

Since its launch in 2004, ‘Koffee with Karan’ has built a reputation for offering audiences a more personal look at celebrities beyond their film roles. Its mix of humour, candid confessions and provocative questions has made it a recurring part of Bollywood’s pop-culture conversation.

The ninth season will mark the conclusion of the show, with new episodes scheduled to begin streaming on October 14 on JioHotstar, as announced by Johar.

Salman’s confirmation adds to the anticipation surrounding the final season, particularly among viewers who remember his previous appearances and the headlines they generated. (Source: IANS)
