All good things come to an end, as the curtains finally come down on Karan Johar’s Koffee With Karan. Well, if you love gossip chats and want to know who dated whom, who slept with whom and when was the last time your favourite celeb had sex was, you have definitely watched Koffee With Karan, and it’s every gossip monger’s guilty pleasure. Despite years of hate, backlash and controversies, the cricketing careers of Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul were also almost over after they made stark revelations about their personal lives. Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal’s jodi was made on the Koffee couch; friends became foes and what not.
With a heavy heart, Karan Johar dropped the promo reel, which was tear-jerking and emotional.
Karan Johar’s first baby is now 9 years old and is bidding adieu.
Sharing the reel on Instagram, Karan said, “There are some journeys you don’t plan to end, you simply know, somewhere deep within you, when it is time to let them go. Koffee With Karan has been an extraordinary part of my life. It has given me friendships, memories, moments of complete madness, a lot of love and, yes, its fair share of controversy!”
“But through all of it, what has remained constant is the audience. They have laughed with us, debated us, trolled us, celebrated us and, most importantly, kept coming back for another cup. Saying goodbye is emotional, but it also feels right. This final season is my way of raising the mug one last time with gratitude, with love and with everyone who has made Koffee With Karan what it is. So, come have one last cup of Koffee with me. One last time,” he added.
In the heartfelt video that Karan Johar shared, he is heard saying, “It was June 2004 when I told my dad that I really wanted to host a talk show. I wanted to host two celebrities or stars and have an informal, candid chat with them. He told me, ‘Karan, you are going to call your friends, talk to them, something that you do every day anyway. Who will pay you for that?'”

Speaking about the final season, Karan Johar, Host and Creator of Koffee With Karan, said, “There are some journeys you don’t plan to end, you simply know, somewhere deep within you, when it is time to let them go. Koffee With Karan has been an extraordinary part of my life. It has given me friendships, memories, moments of complete madness, a lot of love and, yes, its fair share of controversy!”

He continued, “He passed away that same month, actually. On 26 June. The very first day I shot for it was 16 August 2004. And I’m here now, eight seasons later, 22 years later, 161 episodes later. A lot happened. I called lovers. I called friends. I called families. I called lovers who went on to become ex-lovers. Some of them even got married. I put an end to the careers of national icons. I am living with the term ‘nepo’ even today. Conjecture became a national word. So much happened.”
“Everywhere I go, fortunately or unfortunately, they always ask me, ‘When is the next season of Koffee With Karan?’ I wonder why they never ask me, ‘When is my next feature film?’ But whatever it was, it gave me so much. I reached a point in my life where I realised all good things must come to an end. This will be my very last season of Koffee With Karan.”
