Indian media personality Karan Johar will end “Koffee With Karan” after 22 years.
\n\nHis celebrity chat show returns for a ninth and final season, streaming on JioHotstar from Oct. 14.
\n\nSince its 2004 debut, the show has run eight seasons and 161 episodes. On its couch, top Indian stars have talked about friendships, romances, breakups and marriages. Many of those conversations went viral or became news in their own right.
\n\n“‘Koffee With Karan’ has been such a large part of my identity in the entertainment industry… I still can’t believe it’s been 22 years and now this will be my ninth season,” Johar said.
\n\nJohar said hosting the show had been deeply rewarding, but that he had come to the realization that “I want to spend the next decade of my life directing more movies… telling many more stories… so with a heavy heart I am making this season my last.”
\n\n“Koffee With Karan” premiered on Star World on 2004, with Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol as its first guests. The first season also brought Amitabh Bachchan on with his son Abhishek Bachchan, and paired Aishwarya Rai with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The show ran for six seasons on Star World…
